No. But I will order it. Thanks!

Well…are you going to visit everyone on the internet and calibrate their monitors to be just like yours?

NTSC — never the same color
I posted this yesterday or so, might as well post it again, probably own’t answer your immediate need, but it’s a way to figure out what you can (and can’t) do about
“it” (just naming “it” is actually a pain in the b*tt).https://www.theasc.com/magazine/april05/conundrum2/page1.html

[TImothy Auld] “Unless I read it wrong she was not compelled to do anything. She refused service and then tried to claim some sort of religious exception for doing so. But I – and please point it out to me if I am wrong – don’t see where anyone compelled her to do anything. She’s being sued because she refused to provide a service soley based on her judgement that gay marriage should not be “celebrated.” Am I getting this wrong here?
“She refused service to a suspect class (GLBT). NM laws states you cannot do that. Photographer was sued and lost. Photographer is forced to pay all the GLBT’s legal bills, about $6k. Photographer appealed and lost again. Petitioned the SCOTUS. Was granted.
In effect, this has put the industry on hold until it all gets worked out. The implication is compelled speech.

[Herb Sevush] “the courts can’t do it without creating as many problems as they fix;”
Oh boy.
Whatever marriage is, it is most definitely a contractual, legal obligation between parties. GLBT citizens can enter into hundreds of other legal contracts, but not marriage? That is obviously separate but equal and not constitutional.
The important issue in the link above is that when they got married the wedding photography refused based on bigotry inherent in his or her religion. And that is essentially the case: the dilemma of compelled speech: bigots are compelled to photograph GLBT weddings.
The court has a lot to decide, including who and for what reasons could compel me to edit video.

[Walter Soyka] “It’s a complicated issue.”
The details are brutal. Here’s one (‘though I’m sure you’re familiar with it):
It’s not actually illegal to be a bigot. It’s illegal for State Actors to be bigots. The horrible instances when the police removed African Americans from restaurants received “strict scrutiny” from SCOTUS — which forces the government to bear the burden of proof.
Race is a suspect class that receives strict scrutiny.
Sexual Orientation is a suspect class that receives intermediate scrutiny — which means the burden of proof is upon the petitioner. The case in NM does not involve a State Actor.
I happen to enjoy legal stuff as an observer, but I can see how it would seem tedious and arcane to others. Last note, here: the Citizens United case defined campaign contributions as free speech, and I hope everyone who both edits video and reads this post contemplates the notion of What is compelled speech?

Here’s a quote:
The New
Mexico Supreme Court thus determined that the
First Amendment right to be free from compelled
speech does not protect those professionals from
applications of the public-accommodations statute
that would require them to create expression -
What are your export settings, in detail?
Are you looking at your picture on a broadcast monitor?
What is your white level set to?
There are other details to explore also — for example, converting YUV (the video) to RGB (the generated media).

[Mikiko Katsuno] “1. I work with more Canon 5D footages lately,
(I hear Pr can edit QuickTime movie with h.264 codec natively.)”Yep. It does.
[Mikiko Katsuno] “FCPX doesn’t seem like a editing software for a professional production.)”
Totally false.
Computers?
I would get a Mac Pro because the h.264 footage is pretty intense compression and you’ll want lots of horsepower to deal with it.Workflow: Adobe uses a new workflow model. Basically it goes like this:
1. Prelude (to deal with footage)
2. Bridge (to name it and metadata mark up)
3. Premiere Pro for additional metadata markingFCPX is more straightforward; it has the same three things inside the app, not different apps:
1. Import/proxy or optimize button
2. Events and Libraries
3. KeywordsThe other discussions about computers are in the Final Cut Pro X The Debate Forum. If you search there, you will find more information than you can read in one day 🙂

[TImothy Auld] “it’s best at present for short form jobs with a fast turnaround.”
What does that actually mean? I don’t think it’s true, in the sense that X is only suitable for short form. It’s true that folks are presently using for those projects because the risk is low and it’s a good place to enter and familiarize oneself with the workflow peculiarities.
A guy who posts here frequently, Tony, is using it for the opposite project (long form with a long turnaround) — a documentary. I’m inclined to agree with Tony (that) (my paraphrase) the keyword features are the most powerful organizing feature around.
X gets through the organizing process really fast, definitely faster than CS6 Premiere Pro (which has two major flaws: (1) subclips are not slipable — can do in CC; (2) cannot toggle between native mode and library mode — can do in CC).

Hello,
How much total footage is there?
If there is a lot, then I use Prelude and Adobe Media Encoder to put all the footage in the exact same codec, timebase, and frame size. It’s easy to do, but takes a bit of time to render, but it pays dividends in the end.
Have you previewed the footage in Bridge and or Prelude to make sure the footage works?
