Holy Cow! What is your final deliverable?

My wife’s a vegetarian. Even when she orders her meals without the beef, we still pay for the beef.

WOW!
Ryan you owe Mark some compensation. Maybe some lawn furniture.

First, are you printing to film?
Second, if not, it’s not really worth it.
Third, even a standard definition DVD will look pretty awesome on a big screen.However, doing it “correctly” means different things to different people. For me, I would want to do this:
1. Finish the whole edit, so there is nothing left to do.
2. Master (or pay a post house to) the timeline to hdcam.
3. Re-capture the video signal into the new picture size.If that option proves too costly, you can use Apple Color, Compressor, After Effects (lots of export settings) by setting the render output specs.
Taken altogether though, this seems a bit too much, because there are no good playback/screening options at that 2k size.

You’ll have to forgive me. My father’s a General Internal Auditor, and I’ve apparently inherited his paranoia.
Is this guy involved with the other companies, for example, is he a purchasing manager? Does your contract stipulate he must disclose all information regarding his role at those entities? Are you culpable if he fails to disclose his role at those places?

Generally speaking all contracts should have some kind of termination and or expiration language. The particular language is negotiable, of course. I would worry about things like the appearance of collusion and/or kickbacks. Let me get this straight: He’s going to give your number to potential clients and then you’re going to markup your services and send him some dollar amount back.

Be sure to keep the aspect ratio in mind as you frame your image.

[Nelson May] “how do you guys cut down disk space?”
You don’t. You investigate then purchase a bona fide back up system.
(Drobo with Time Capsule ain’t bad — not perfect — but not bad either, for example.)

I tutor a guy in FCP quite often, and I’ve learned to teach this too “Make the buckets first.” Final Cut Pro is opposite from programs like word and excel, where you import stuff and adjust the formatting later.
In FCP you need to “make the buckets first.” That means, you have decisions to make before you even open the program! The first decision you have to make is what codec you will use to edit. What frame size will you use? What audio “details” will you use?
That all means the first step is to make some decisions about those details and then transcode your flip footage accordingly. Since first generation flip is probably standard definition, I suggest you transcode the footage to DV/NTSC codec, at 29.97 frames per second, with a picture size of 720×480, and audio details of AIFF 48k 16-bit.
After you figure out how to use Compressor (and it’s not that tough), you set a bunch of details and hit the go button, it will spit out the newly transcoded footage.
AFter you do all that, then open up FCP. There’s a whole bunch of unintuitive difficulty in figuring out where all your footage will be stored and how all the capture scratch settings are set.
After you wrestle with transcoding all your footage post back (probably in the beginner forum 🙂 and you can get help on setting up fcp properly for an edit.

I’m not a code banger (nor am I lawyer, in other forums) 🙂
That guy wrote the QT standard, so he’s a go-to source. There’s a problem to solve with regard to dropframe or non-dropframe.
