  • Well, which is it? HDV or DV? If you’re viewing HDV output on a DV monitor, of course it’s going to look different, since DV has a different color space than HD.

  • Are you viewing on a broadcast monitor connected to a broadcast video card? Or are you looking at the image in FCP’s canvas on a computer monitor connected to a computer display card?

    Get an external Cinema Display, bluetooth keyboard and Magic Mouse with your MacBook Pro. You’ll forget you’re even using a laptop.

    Drain Marc Spencer’s web site of every morsel, then buy every book or training DVD he produces.

    You’re right. I wasn’t being helpful at all.

    I’m sorry.

    Let me give you one piece of helpful advice. Use the Final Cut Pro Basics forum. Mean, grouchy people like me stay away from the Basics forum. Or at least when we DO go there, we take our meds first.

  • What you want to do is send your audio over to SoundTrack Pro, highlight a section of the audio where you ONLY hear the background noise, mark that as a noise print and use SoundTrack Pro’s noise reduction function to eliminate the noise.

    You really should take the time to learn how to correctly configure the video settings so Final Cut Pro can capture your footage off your camera. If you can get your footage into iMovie, you can Log & Capture it into FCP. It’s not as easy with FCP but you’re already beginning to see why the easy way usually isn’t the best way.

    Wow! This is the second post in a row on this theme and I’m trying to figure out what I’m missing.

    How do folks land gigs with clients when they don’t have the first clue about how to use their tools? You seriously accepted a job without having any idea how you were going to deliver it?

    Where are these clients that are so willing to hire editors who can’t provide any evidence that they actually know what they’re doing?

    Really, I’m not trying to be a *(@%, I think it just comes naturally.

    I’m just curious: How did you land this gig if you don’t have a clue how your tools work?
