Amen Tim.

And you would think given that it seems all the necessary information/code lives within the project file that someone could write an applescript or automator action for this. I’ve emailed this issue to the Applescript Guru Sal Soghoian and we’ve mentioned this to our Apple reps and they said they would have Cupertino work on this. We’ll see. There must be some complication and I have a feeling it might have to do with Boris Title 3D. Maybe it’s time for Apple to abandon the Boris Title tool and make the FCP title tool more robust and handle Post Script fonts.

I’ll update if I find out anything.

We’re talking thousands of fonts available to us. It’s obviously impractical to have all the fonts loaded on every station with Font Reserve at one time. This really isn’t a problem with our setup, it’s a problem with FCP because at least two other of the pro apps give you a warning if the font is missing and I’m thinking Adobe products do also. Font Reserve is there to manage the fonts through the network so everyone has access to all the same fonts whether they be editors or art directors or whoever.

I have posted feedback to the FCP feedback link on the Apple website.

Thanks for the quick reply Shane. Since I’m stuck to doing this at home, I should just bring a final uncompressed 8-bit quicktime to work and ouput to digibeta from here then? With this workflow I shouldn’t see any(much) deterioration of video quality I assume?
