Honestly, I really don’t have an specific question. I’d like to know all the more complex matters before hand so I don’t have to scrammble last minute when I encounter it on the job or with a client. Acquiring Preventative expert level information so I don’t meet emergencies unprepared. Instead of waiting for a problem to show up to deal with it, how about we prevent the situation from ever becoming a problem. The dilemma is, you never know what is going to be a problem until it happens.

I’ve gotten the cow series which is really good but I am past that. I’m talking about the optimal workflow using a kona card Panasonic HD 1080i center cropped for 8 bit uncompressed broadcast versus Sony Varicam converted to Pro Res using Blackmagic on an Xsan. On the Fly or Recompress? Trouble shooting and all. Stuff like that. Or trouble shooting a d5 deck with fcp from novice to intermediate.
I find so many professional edit suites configured so differently I’d like to at least have an idea of what I’ll be walking into especially with no tech. I’ve been in situations freelancing when a production house will have there established clients, with editors they’ve worked with for years, and systems and workflows so precise, and I have to jump in the pilot seat and figure out how to work there system effortlessly while still providing the client with the quality they are used to, but I may be unfamiliar with, not realizing something I thought was an undoable limitation in an edit session was a quick fix if I use a certain workflow.
One of my biggest challenges is how do you prepare for high end large format projects on your basic home based system? I rarely get the chance to use a D5 deck until a master is required of me. There is little practice. And if hands on experience with that equipment is few and far between, how do you stay sharp?
LAFCPUG used to have there meetings on DVD which I found really helpful but they stopped selling it.
Anyway, I hope that clarifies.

How do I get the anti virus download and cure a virus once I have it

Your workaround doesn’t seem to be working for me. I exported a video from FCP using Export as QT, the timeline had 58:30 setting, the exported QT had the same timecode. My DSR-11 deck had the settings you outlined, but not TC was going to tape. When I hit the display button I saw no info.
what am I screwing up?
