Hmm do u mean the corrupt project is open and u want to move the media & sequences to a new project? If so open both projects in FCP OLD & NEW. Drag the NEW project tab in the browser out of the browser and put it somewhere easily accessible within the FCP interface. Then select all the contents from the OLD corrupt project and drag them across to the NEW project. Hope it is that easy. Curious to know the extent your project is corrupt.
cheers

Thx for the response guys! Always good to know u are on the right track. Yeah the speed problem with media manager has been a rather large thorn in my side when media managing the trailers i have done. I started getting in to a routine of setting a marker in the timeline anywhere i have changed the speed. Doing it on a feature scale will suck maybe i will look into the upgrade anyone actually got it and tested that problem???
cheers again

As an FCP user this video was kind of annoying! I have been using AVID for a while too. Personally i do not care about making bins, how many bins does one actually make per project? And if they do it probably takes up less than half a percent of the the total time editing the project. Same with the capture stuff, does not mean anything different strokes for diffrent folks. I totally prefer FCP do not get me wrong but i am not stupid either. Jeff u totally gloss over the editing experience basically u showed an “assistants” view of the avid vs fcp debate. How come u showed how u can shift select the tracks on and off in AVID and not in FCP were u seriously trying to hide the fact u can’t do that in FCP? I wish u could, coming from an After effects environment the lack of that function sux. Closest we have i think is hold option down and click on a track to turn off all bar the one u have clicked then click that one to turn it off. U also glossed over the zoom in/out timeline function in FCP u have to press z to get the zoom tool then click on the timeline. In avid it is the up and down arrow keys definatley much easier. But u sped that part up anyway in FCP – rudeness. The waveforms example – oh my god! try doing the waveforms in FCP in an actual project not just 3 clips it is not very fast at all. Anyway i was more interested in the editing debate anyway that is the REAL debate. My main peeve with AVID is having to lasso clips to move them as opposed to FCP where u can select all clips left or right of the mouse by using the track forward or track back tool. U could of showed that and u would have not had to sped up ur examples.
rant over

Haven’t noticed any differcen between the 2. only problems i have had with animation is exporting animation from Avid and bringing it into FCP, FCP doesn’t like it at all. I usually go None from Avid.

Hmmm really have to see it to comment ie, is there movement in the shot, does any action move in front of the background etc. can u post a link to the image or embed in the message?

Hey Kristian
I opened the blackmagic deck control and tried to lay to tape that way but that didn’t work but when i came back to FPC it was working again. Maybe the deck control kicked it back to life. I’m on a g5 with PCI and no i was not able to get a preview from the timeline.
cheers

Thx turned out to be a filler letterbox matte over the top sequence once that was deleted it worked fine.

Thx for your help guys. Well atleast i haven’t been doing my moving in an unusual way seems thats the only way to do it. It’s just weird when working with my boss in FCP its not a problem but when we go to AVID she thinks i’m slow, atleast i can blame the program ;).
cheers
