I’ve done the switch and it’s ALL worth it. I found Media100 limiting and slow on new innovation. Now that Boris owns them I’m unsure what will happen. I switched because I needed some of the Compositing features that I had in After Effects. It was a work flow thing. I found a great deal more work flow improvements once I got rid of my limited mind set from Media100. Good luck!

Drop frame is just a numbering system for the timecode. It doesn’t affect the video at all. It “drops” a frame every second or so to keep the broadcast network time synced. Other than that lame explanation I forgot the rest. Sounds like your client doesn’t know what they are talking about either.

We need more information. Where did the files come from. What codec? Is it audio, video? Did these come from a PC? Can you open them in Quicktime? Can you open them with any app?

Double click clip in timeline. Motion tab, at the very bottom. Time remaping. Have fun!

I don’t believe this is a plugin. It appears to be two images or video of the same subject and one slightly larger than the one underneath. I would do this in After Effects but I guess you could do it in FCP. To create the effect make a sequence. Create white bars with a matte and size and animate them to suit your project. Duplicate your footage in the timeline. Make the duped footage a bit larger. Make your “animation sequence” as your travel matte luma. Hope this makes sense.

Try loading the FCP without the project. If it loads, try to load your edit without media. Narrow down what is corrupt. See if you can load without the filters. I had a filter go bad once. Just reinstalled the filter and bingo!

Try a .5 blur. You have to rough up (blur) the image for interlace. To much fine detail can cause that shimmer. I use After Effects to get a better result but it will still harminize with centain monitors to shimmer.

Look at the video information very carefully. There is obviously a difference between them if one needs rendering and one dosen’t. Are they both: DV NTSC/DVC Pro 720 X480 16 bit 48khz 3:2 If they vary in any way that could be your problem.

That is what Final Cut Express is for. LOL or you could try this link.

If you want to save iMovie media to a particular drive, just save the iMove project to that drive. iMovie creates a whole subfolder system for itself with the media and render files inside. iMovie also captures full DV quality video but there are 2 differences to FCP. 1) it captures 32khz 12 bit audio and 2) it captures as DV streams instead of Quicktime files. Not sure why your import of iMovie files played badly but it should play just as smooth as your other video after rendering the audio. Depending on what iMovie (iLife 04 or higher) they are using, your client should be able to import Quicktime files that you capture with FCP. Will you be editing further on the project they provide? You can import the iMovie project into FCP for further editing.
