I’ve had problems with those large drives over firewire 800 as well. For me it was as simple as hooking them up via firewire 400, but I only had 3 drives going. The other thing you can try instead of restarting all the time is opening the disk utility and trying to mount the drives from there (they also might need a simple repair done which can be done in the disk utility as well). It sounds like you have a few terabytes of storage there, you should probably think about getting a RAID, it will save you a lot of headaches.

What are you finishing on? Are you going to online back to HDCAM or are you sticking with DVCPRO HD (and what is the compression here, 1080i? 720p?)? What I would do is make the graphics 1920×1080 square pixels and downsize them in the DVC PRO timeline just in case you want to go back to HDCAM. Making them too big can’t hurt anything except render times, making them too small is just asking for a headache.

Thanks for the help guys.

I couldn’t agree more. I know the handheld look is “in” right now but when you’re dealing with complicated composites it’s not worth the headache. You can always add camera shake and some moves in post, which would be much easier than tracking everything. Also make sure when you shoot it the camera is at the same focul length for each seperate shot that will get composited on top of eachother. As far as a dancer moving out of frame, don’t let it happen, unless you’re going for that decapitated limbs look. Good luck.
