This sounds interesting, because I need the workflow. My brandnew 800 is on the desk. The newest information I’ve got is, that P2 is recognized with the latest software. I’ll test it on Thursday, because there is a fair at cologne.
I’ll let you know. Another possibility is, to buy panasonics P2 card reader. I’ll have a go on this as well. Another option is, to use a Windows laptop, transfer data onto a firewire harddisc and transfer the data onto the mac. I think, when the harddrives are recognized as harddrives in the mac, FCP5 should be able to import the files. But it’s all guessing…Rainer

I think, less competition means slower development together with heavier prices. Intel has a less competitive market, becaus they dictate the prices then.

How should these work together? You need new faster connections. The fastest connection is a Xraid over optical fibre channel.
Do you want to build a new computer connection? What do you want with more rendering? If you use the fastest Mac together with an xraid it is damned fast, mostly you don’t have to render. You could use Quantel systems, everything in real time.Rainer

I don’t believe, that a 1/3 inch is better than a 2/3 inch chip. I think, that any 2/3 inch new camera system with a proper lens is better than a 1/3 HDV cam with a wide angle adapter in Front.

I would wipe it down and start a new copy. What you could do is to malk the media lets say best clips (they show red) when you transfer new media it shows grey, so you know which media clips you have used in the sequence (If you mark the sequence clips red, all the used media clips show red as well) But you always have to copy the project file. If some clips don’t turn up and show offline, you have to relink them. Complicated, it depends on the amount of Gigs you have to transfer. I would wipe everything down and start a new copy.

You can put in a different ratio in the movement section of FCP and then largen the picture. You have to cut off a bit of the top and the bottom so the picture fits squeezed in a 4:3 window. You make a movement favorite in FCP and move it to the clips. All clips are the same. Now you have a 16:9 format. You loose sharpness and contrast.

Hi Kathlyn,
this is right. First you have to give the new number then the one from FCP3.

Hi Jan, Hi Dan,
on Monday I get the 800 P2 Panasonic. I will tell you about the tests. I spoke to several people both at apple and panasonic. So far with a Windows computer the PCMI slot works. So you can put the card into the slot and it shows as a hard disc. It doesn’t in the Mac PCMI slot. With a mac you need the panasonic card reader (money 2000 bucks). From there you should have the cards (it holds 5) as a hard disc showing on the computer. When the cards show as a hard disc you can import them in FCP5.
The problem doesn’t lie in the FCP5 it’s a problem of Tiger. So I look for a different workflow. If the camera itsself show as a harddisc on a Windows computer I’ll get a notebook windows, copy the harddisc on a firewire harddisc, which will then show on the mac. From there I should be able to import in FCP.
Thats the theory. I will test it 29th June on the roadshow of panasonic. It could be, that panasonic want to sell their card reader.Rainer

You have to copy both media and the projekt on a firwire harddisc. You plug it in at home and start working.
