[Catherine Tosko] “Unfortunately the finished product cannot be in prores as it will not be accepted to my vendor so I stuck with the original format and now have gone for H264 on second thoughts – seems better anyway.”
I don’t mean to deliver a Prores file, but to put out Prores from FC, then compress that to H264.
Things will be better and faster.

Hi Lars,
Duplicate the sequence and try to sync the original Wav files.

Hi Juliana,
Try using the “Boris 3D” instead of the default Text tool.
That has worked for me some times.

[Martin Burns] ” All my video clips are stored on an external drive (connected by USB 2).”
As David say, USB has never been a choice for FC. Not even in the old DV times.About the drop frames, uncheck the “Warn next time”.

[Catherine Tosko] “it has cutaways of HD footage and random other clips “
Then absolutely avoid touch the DV codec.
Render/process/export to a better one.
Prores is always the best option.

Right.
18fps is not an standard video time-base. Not sure if FCPX will take it because is more standard prone that FC.
Edit on a sequence with whatever time base you prefer and when you have all the stuff edited, select all in the sequence and Left click > Change speed.
The keep the speed at 100% but uncheck “Frame Blending”.
FC will repeat the frames needed to get the sequence time-base, but won’t blend them.

[Catherine Tosko] “I am using FCP to export a DV PAL compressed timeline of 1 hour which is 40GB big. “
A 1hour PAL/DV should be around 12/13 GBs.[Catherine Tosko] ” Every time I try and use Send To I am met with a beep like an error beep.”
Those problems when sending to Compressor normally are related with problems on Apple Qmaster.
The best option is trying to reinstall it, but if don’t have the discs that’s difficult.
You can always export a self-contained movie from FC and import it to Compressor. The process will be even faster.

[Craig Seeman] “Because there was a long transition. I know many people who stuck with OS9 for a couple of years while OSX was progressing… much like many have stuck with FCP7. “
Again, no parallelism.
I don’t think that people that is still on FC.6/7 are waiting for FCPX to evolve.
People that seen FCPX as an option are all ready on it, even if is part-time.
With a new MacOs is about to say “OK, today is the day”. The transition to FCPX is a different matter.

“The name “Aperture X” would fall in line with Final Cut Pro X, a major overhaul to Apple’s professional video editing software”.
Are they joking ?

Personally I don’t see the parallelism. Even considering the big changes from MacOs 9 to 10, it was part of a natural evolution. Nothing to do with the jump from FC.7 to FCPX.
The “starting from scratches” that FCPX represents, has no precedent on Apple history.[Craig Seeman] “FCPX was much like OSX 10.0 though.”
I don’t remember people migrating to Window when MacOsX was launched.[Craig Seeman] “There’s some irony when people say Apple’s changing. Only with rare exception, I see Apple actually continuing patterns going back years although with some modification.”
Craig, you talk about “rare exceptions” as you were referring to secondary pieces of software.
What is ironic is that you consider FCP/FCPX like that.
