googled …. nothing really serious / interesting comes up as far as sweetening.
“mixing” is getting the levels correct but I want to sweetened so it all sounds loud/rich w/o spiking

I agree with you regarding camera makers… I was being sarcastic.
It’s just that it pushes us editors to really keep up with the equipment… $$$ for stuff that eventually ends up on Youtube. But that’s ok… that’s goes with the business. I just wish sometimes it’d me more like for sound guys… mp3… wav… aiff… 7.1…. have been around for years and don’t seem to be changing much (neither is the $250/hour rate compared to what we – editors – have now to accept… $30-$50?…) BUt It’s another (interesting) topic.

The company who hired me gave me the 4444. ANd I didn’t have time to convert to prores proxy because of the delivery date vs. the amount of footage.

the footage is on a 4TB GTech drive, USB3.0 connection.
As far as “why 4444″… well I’m not sure… especially when what I’m cutting is for…. youtube!!!!
Camera makers need to stop making people think they need to shoot super hi rez when I’m sure 99% of the stuff goes on youtube or DVDs… Even tv networks don’t need super hi rez…

how would have handled the work flow on this?
I tried to convert to Prores Proxy but it would have taken a couple days..

Did you ever find a solution?
Interesting thread

[Joseph Owens] “and better storage/data throughput with the MacPro… “

I am confused… So is the macpro better?

My pb is that I have $0 to invest. I am just trying to make my life a little easier with a better machine.
I always heard people say that the advantage of a macpro is its flexibilty as far as specs upgrade.

So you guys think that 16Gb or Ram, Quad 2.66 and 1 Gb video card won’t be better than my current mbp 2.66, 8Gb?

Thanks for the input

Ctrl ] and [ are 2 of my most frequently used shortcuts actually.
Thnx Nick for the suggestions

You’re absolutely right. And this is why we always send our spots to a post-house and this is why they charge $$$$…. because as you said it is an “art”.
My question was to help me in the bay to get decent levels while working on a rough cut.
I’ll keep adjusting the clips as I put them in the TL.

Thanks Shane. I always value your input/answers

[Olivier Prudhomme]

yeah that’s what I”ve been doing since I”m part of your “us editors” 🙂

Do you know if other NLE systems offer this feature, just out of curiosity?

[Olivier Prudhomme]

Whaoo! This is amazing!! It is so easy to loose a few frames at the top and a few others at the tail while using the trim tool!!!
Too bad…

i think i am missing a step.
FOllowing your explanations after I Mark In/Out in the selects Sequence, I Toggle and shld be able to insert or oerwrite… but nothing’s happening.
I tried Copy after marking I/O…. but nothing.

Then if I do Opt-C it brings the clip marked in the Comp. but then I toggle between this new clip and the working sequence…
