Er news?
I regularly edit news on the road with a 15 or 17″ MBP, bus powered G tech Mini Raid and use the camera (PDW800 mostly) as a deck.
Normally edit in the back of the car or a hotel lobby, coffee shop etc and then send via FTP either over 3G or hotspot.
Also do quite a few quick turn around corporates in the same way usually in a hotel room and output a Prores file.

Oh one last thing Craig – if ever you get asked to cut another Olympics vt, can I suggest “you gotta the love” by flo and the machine!

On the other hand post houses can be massive stick in the muds.
One London post house was vetoing the use of c300’s and Alexas on shoots because their media management system couldn’t handle 1080 25p!

Well a fine VT it was! Excellent work.

Craig – which VT’s? I only watched the Olympics one as on the whole I find the Beebs NYE coverage cringeful. Although Gabby did a decent job. The Olympics one was very good thought!
As a matter of interest why did you use 7 and not X for this?

I saw this and loved it but ask yourself one question?
How did they get such clean, well balanced audio?

Thanks! At least that’s one idea out the window.

The autosave vault for FCP X is not in that location. Assuming your projects and events were on the external drive, The backup is in:
[External drive] -> Final Cut Projects -> [Project Name] -> Backups
[ ] indicate variables, e.g. drive name, project name. The event backup is along a similar path but Final Cut Events.
Before you try that though download Digital Rebeillion’s pref manager and trash the prefs in case anything is wrong there.
Also – is the external drive mounting OK? Can you see the Final Cut Event and Project folders in the root dir of the drive?
Good luck!

1) Select the clip
2) Shift “F” to match frame
3) Shift “3” to switch to audio only mode.
4) “D” overwrite clip to timeline.
