I agree…..sometimes a “low shelf” filter will work well too. Set the gain to a high negative number, then sweep the frequency back and forth during playback and you will hear when the correct frequence is reached. Plus, its a cool swooosh…..sound as you sweep.

I agree with Trevor. However, try a low shelf filter first, that sort of narrows down the frequency for the “other noise” usually throughout the bandwidth. Forgive me if I sound simplistic on this next statement: The easiest way to use an EQ filter is to take the gain to the maximum amount of filtering (full minus) then take the frequence and sweep back and forth during playback to hear the best results. You will hear this cool “sweeoooosshh…” sound as you sweep and then the unwanted noise will fade. Then go back and tweak the gain. After that, write this on your location checklist: 1. get new windscreens….3 for each lav. It’s much easier to keep the noise out, than to get it out later, sort of like red wine…
good luck,
Malcolm

Hate to be the bearer of bad news. I can’t say I’ve ever experienced missing files unless they truly were no longer on the drive.

Thanks to both of you.

I used to edit on an Avid MC 1000 back in the apple 9600 days. The post house where I edit freelance FCP now also has an Avid Adrenalin (sp). Do you suggest me getting back into the avid saddle? Thanks in advance.

My 2 cents worth: Having edited by cutting film, using a GVG editor, moving to Avid, then to FCP, the non-linear theory is what is important (to me). Making the change from avid to FCP was almost seamless for me, but making the jump from linear to non-linear was the tough one. It’s the editing that is the important part, not the tool used. (again, to me). FCP seems to be more user friendly and forgiving. We have an internship program where high school kids produce on site. With the exception of missing files because they captured on someone’s firewire drive, they are putting out some first rate materia.

Try locating them manually instead of having FCP search.

I agree. I doubt it would be having trouble with the graphics card. What if you installed an older OS and tried to install FCP? I realize this is stepping backward, but you might be able to rule out hardware issues.

What hardware are you trying to install this on? Is it an older G3?

Thanks for the info Jeff, I will run it up the pipe and see if the guys in the big office want to explore this
