Perhaps the Magic Cursorâ„¢ in the internal beta of Pages X decided those pages could be moved away to eternity.

It’s not easy to grok anything he says but I think the nick name he came up with for FCX is spot on:
Final Cut Proxy.

September 4, 2011 at 3:25 pm in reply to: Received my copy of CS5.5 in the mail today.Now Dennis, if you guys could take a look at your international pricing. The CS5.5 Production Suite costs $1699 plus VAT in your US online store. On your swedish store the exactly same version downloaded from the same server costs $2993 plus swedish VAT!
Why? What’s the reason for charging nearly twice the price? I would understand it if the application suite was fully translated to swedish*, came with swedish printed manuals in a physical box to my doorstep with a red ribbon around it but when downloaded from the same server it’s a bit incomprehensible.
cheers
*Neither PPro nor AE even exists in swedish versions.

You could do this with ‘type on a path’ and chose a ding bat style font with a suitable dot. Then animate the opacity and set it to let the dots come on randomly. Add as many paths / text layers as needed to get the amount of dots you want. Edit the paths shape and position as you please as well.

July 14, 2011 at 8:41 am in reply to: Making walking people and other objects in motion, invisible in a static sceneThat’s what the ‘Difference Matte’ under ‘Effect > Keying’ is for – you feed it a clip with no motion and a clip with motion of the same static scene and it keys out the difference. It does require some massaging and garbage matting to work properly.

FCP7 hasn’t filled my requirements of handling AVCHD files natively since it was released so I never bothered to upgrade but instead stayed with FCP6 waiting for FCP8 to add this feature. In hindsight I should have switched to PPro last year. Now I’m pondering if it’s any point to stay on Mac hardware at all since due to Apple not wanting to work with Nvidia and CUDA makes a Win7 station a better and less expensive alternative for working with the entire Adobe suite of video apps.

Getting even by working for less wages than flipping burgers for a living? ‘Cause that’s what you are setting yourself and your fellow ‘indies’ (if there are any more) up for with the hyperbole in your post …
And ripping off a Tyler Durden rant from Fight Club when discussing missing features in a editing app from the world’s most know luxury consumer electronics brand… oh the irony! Awesome!

Roxio, the maker or Toast, have a video explanation here:
https://img.roxio.com/enu/flash/toast10/toast10-convert.html
You can find it here ‘Converting Video’ in case the link above doesn’t work.
https://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/titanium/overview.html
Guess it’s worth mentioning that Roxio’s app ‘Popcorn’ is basically just the video converter from Toast.
