David Roth Weisst it always takes ‘a smart ass’ like you who has no idea what the circumstances are here. Thanx for poisoning this post.

Shane – This is Mike Fraticelli
We’ve communicated before. I’m a 70 year old experienced editor, (not a college student). Maybe you don’t remember me?
As I mentioned on the original post I have an older Mac Pro Desktop with ‘MY OWN’ registered FC7.
Warren mentioned he’s done it before. That’s all I wanted to know ….
And NO this is not a professional project for which I’ll be doing it all the time.
But again I’ve answered all these questions in the post.

Warren you’re a gentleman!
Although I’ve never done it before I was at least trying to see ‘if it could be done’ in some form of HD?
So as I understand it:
Do I need to set the sequence settings in the FC7 time line for ‘ProRes 1080’ before dragging the files onto the timeline?
Or do I extract the files, put them in storage somehow, then change the nature of the file themselves ‘in properties’ before I drag them onto the timeline?
I’d also be willing to pay you a tutorial fee – thank you Warren!

Thanx Noah
I’m not working with 4K more than occasionally. In fact I may never see it again. I’m only asking if I can edit this ‘one project’ for my nephew in FC7? So I guess I still need to get an answer to my original question to Warren: “Are you saying I need to first make proxy into ‘Pro Res 1080’ in order to edit in FC7? Or are you saying I won’t be able to edit in FCP7 either way?”
Thanx Again

Hello Warren – Thanx for responding !
I’d like to understand your reply more concisely. “Make proxy into ProRes 1080. You won’t be able to edit RAW 4K in FCP7”
Are you saying I need to first make proxy into ‘Pro Res 1080’ in order to edit in FC7? Or are you saying I won’t be able to edit in FCP7 either way?
So then if its possible to proceed using ‘ProRes 1080’, I’d be glad to pay you for some quick tips on just how to convert those 4K Raw Files into Pro Res 1080. To give you a little more info about my situation: I’m an older experienced editor using FC6 – editing in SD for many years. I also have an older Mac Pro Desktop loaded with FCP7. Thanks again Warren

Thank You

Thanks for the reply. I’m confident I can find a reasonably priced solution. Old doesn’t neccessarily mean hopeless. I’m just asking for some help in the right direction and appreciate the explanation. I’ve known for some time about Kona. Perhaps you could comment about this card. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Aja-KONA-LHe-Capture-Card-w-Breakout-Box-and-Breakout-Cable-/282117085783
If it looks like an appropriate card, and will work with my Mac Pro, all I’d need is a Pro color monitor. ‘Rock Solid?’ I don’t make this a so-called business, so I don’t have that kind of money. I’m sure I can also find something used on ebay. I suppose I’d need something designed to give me better accuracy than my current Apple Cinemas. I’m sure I can find something cheaper on Ebay. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks again

Hi there Roger – yes thank you my good friend – everything but the kitchen sink ….
I have to say in all sincere honesty; you guys have the patience and respect of ‘Jobe’ – unlike some other forums I know ….
Bye for now guys – but like Arnold sez: “I’ll be back” 🙂
-
I’d like to thank Chris and Roger for all their help.
Best thing to do here is close this thread as its taking time away from others.
Until Next Time 🙂
My Best to All!
Mike
