I would precompose your elements in LiveType, that way I just save as and change the names as I go.

If she can’t open them she needs to go to Apple and download the free player. Then you might be presented with the same problem, cause, you don’t know who will be down loading these clips and what player they have. So, my suggestion is to compress for Mpeg1 and then everybody can play your videos. They can have Mac or PC, Windows Media player, Real Player or Quicktime and it will work beautiful, or at least work.

Well if it has to render then the media your putting into the timeline is not native. (a given) Get info on that piece of media and find out what your dealing with. Then set up your timeline to work with that media. Your browser gives all the info you need on each clip to set up your timeline. I have a feeling that your media is not what you think it is.

Question one:
are the mov files that come with the dvd which you copy to your HD which you use to make the movie with the dvd’s instructions in NTSC or PAL?Which .mov files? Is this the tutorial your talking about?
Question two:
when i click on Effects – Video Transitions, and then close a transition, they are all whited out, and i cannot click on any of them. I can however click on the Effects tab in the browser window and select the transition from there and drag it down to my clip.If you want to use the pull down menus, select the transition area, (right at the point the two clips meet) and then go to the pull down menu for transitions.

Backflush your system to what you had if it works better. You’ll make up the time to do this on your first project. Keep a test machine around with Tiger to keep an eye on when the FCP or QT specs work for your setup. As far as for .dv files they have dropped into FCP since ver. 1 in my experience. Just a little render on the 32k audio.

Sounds like the OS is wack! Have you repaired permissions lately?

What ever hard disk you save your iMovie project to becomes the scratch disk. As for FCP not digitizing, it’s not a hardware issue. I would trash prefs and try (I’m sure you have already). Hard drive journaling could be an issue, do a search on the FCP post. After that FCP could have just lost it’s mind. If someone else has any other ideas or options I’m running out quick without being at the machine.

Have you tried digitizing in iMovie? If it works then it should be a software setup of FCP being the issue. Do you use the easy setups in FCP? Have you limited your length of capture? Limit it to 5 minutes, and see if that helps. It sounds more like FCP is interpreting the DV converter’s signal wrong. Do you have a DV camera or deck to test with?

Since the footage you are trying to capture has no time code, Do you have the deck control set to ” non-controlable” Then are you capturing to another hard drive? Don’t capture to your system drive if at all possible. Thirdly, we would need more info about your system, Mac type, ram, software versions and such. This will help us better advise you.
