I thought it was generally excepted that journaling was only for OS system drives and not for media drives. Has this thinking changed and why.

I coudn’ agree with you more Walter. It’s high time and long overdue that Apple fixes this huge problem. I’d give back all the extra bits we got in FCP 5 just for new and re engineered Media manager and more workable way of dealing with speed changes.

This has to be one of the weakest points about FCP. Can anyone name me one application that employs keyframes that doesn’t allow you to copy and paste. Can’t think of one myself. I know, I know some will say “Why don’t you do that in Motion or After effects?” Well I say “Why do I need the hassle of exporting and importing just to do some simple keyframe editing?”

How does the quality of the Compressor 2 conversions compare to Graeme’s

My Kona 2 and Shake work well together. Go into the globals tab, open up “guiSettings” then”broadcastHighQuality”. Under”broadcastMonitorNumber” set tthe number to monitor you want display the video. In my set up I have two 23″ Cinema displays so I set it #3. #2 would display the video on my second cinema display. Then in the main viewer in Shake enable the broadcast monitor ” The button that looks like little tv. You should now be getting display on your video display. Just be careful of the gamma settings in shake, Know what you are looking at.

While we’re at it let’s shoot for timecode display to be enabled during capture as well.

I guess where I miss it the most is when I’m recording scratch voice overs. People always tend to move closer to the mic. Countless times I’ve recorded ten minutes of voice over only to discover that it’s distorted and I have to do it again. Not cool with a room full of clients. As far as over taxing the cpu, well I just don’t buy it. I remember recordng voice over on my avid in 1992 on my quadra 950 being able to have active audio meters.

Yes I created a duplicate of my capture preset and set the speakers to on. (Why you would ever want your speakers off in the first place is still beyond me) I can hear everything and the meters work, but soon as I actually hit capture the meters disable.
