Ken, I forget the wording on the install options.
There’s one which wipes the disk and loads the software (which I think is the Clean Install) and another
which Restores the OS for when your system gets flaky and you want to clean it up. I’m sure they use the term ‘Restore’ there, and they specify that no apps or documents are deleted, which is how you want it – each option comes with an explanation.
Take a look, but don’t hit Continue’ until you’re 100% sure.

[Neil Ryan]

absolutely!
could be one tiny thing that makes the difference.

report back …

Did you rebuild the drive with Disc Warrior or just Graph the drive?

If you don’t get any other suggestions, you might want to restore the OS – something may have been corrupted.

Three things:
What codec is your source material?

What do you have to do with your finished FCP sequence? and …

is KJkj52485 your real name?

(okay, ignore the last one)

[Neil Ryan]

FCP didn’t start out as a broadcast quality system.
This is one area in which it still has not caught up.

by version 5 you’d think they could have.

are you sure your Sony DVCam deck WILL play DVCPro tapes?
What model is your deck?

I assume telling you that my digital images of today are about the same as the images from the many rolls of Kodachrome64 35mm I shot in the eighties doesn’t really help?

cheers.

[editorla] “three hours of green screen footage”

I have to ask … are you really going to key the whole three hours of footage?
What’s the final product? A 90min feature with two green screen layers or a 10 min video with18 green screen layers…?

Seems a hellava lot of material to key.

I’d be interested in what you’re making and the plan of your workflow.

cheers.
