If You dont have a good converter: upload avi to YouTube. Yt converts the footage to mp4 and simply download the YouTube mp4.

That’s a great ‘very big’ little tool Andreas. Thank you for creating and sharing.

Maybe Final Cut Library Manager can help you? I am not sure but Check the website.

I’ve tried. The biggest help it tells you what font you are missing. Then it activates the font. And yes, you have to restart FCPX to really show and use it.
I asked the guys from FontAgent (the program I use for activation fonts) and they told me FCPX don’t let other software activate the fonts like the Adobe Creative Suit. So it’s simply not possible.
But better a partial solution then no solution.

Maybe this will help: https://www.fcp.co/final-cut-pro/tutorials/1577-consolidation-and-hard-links-to-media-in-final-cut-pro-x

Hard link is good. It stays a hardlink until you change something. So a win win situation.

Use the FCPX library manager. Cheap and works brillant.

Most important tip:
– Go to cam-do.com >> They have all kind of solutions to build a time-lapse unit with GoPro.3/4 things are important for time-lapse:
– Power > If you have external power it’s much easier
– Check > How do you know it’s still working? If you come back after a week or months and it stopped working after 1 day….
– SD capacity. > With a GoPro you can normally only take 1 picture 1 minute or faster. So 1 picture per hour is not possible.
– WIFI > That’s convenient. I tell you why in a moment.Cam-do somehow solves 3 problems.
Power > If you buy the bigger enclosure you can use a much bigger battery or a solar solution.
Check > Cam-do makes the ‘Blink’. You can send every day a mail message. But you need WIFI for this.
SD Capacity > Also use ‘Blink’. You can take a picture every 10 minutes or so. Only 3 days from 9 till 3. And… you can also make 1 video a day for 1 minute..
– WIFI > As I said, you need WIFI for the blink. I made a solution with a mini-router and usb power timer. But that’s quite difficult. If you need advice for this. Ak me.Last tip:
Cam-do also has a very convenient time-lapse calculator.

Yes. Almost every gig needs a drone shot. I cant imagine to live without it. But…… for me its additional to all the other shots. The ronin-shots, the close ups, the action gopro shots. I need all of them to make a very dynamic film. Sometimes its Just 1 droneshot. Sometimes its 50% of the film. Also I like to use it very low. With the tripod-mode on the phantom you can use it as a giantic slider.
I have the Phantom 4 pro+. -
I don’t know the technical thing behind this but I believe that it is choppy if you don’t match the shooting fps and the edit fps. It’s easier to understand when you film at 24 fps and you edit in 30fps. The software has to ‘add’ 6 frames. So when you want to edit 24 fps. You have to film 24fps or 48 or 96 for a smooth playback.
Once I had to solve it and I converted the footage in Adobe media-enoder. I had to make 1 important adjustment in the settings. It was something like ‘dissolve between frames’. (I am not home to check the exact settings). So you can try to convert a piece of the slowmo-footage to 48 fps in Media Encoder and try different settings.
