In that case you would just check the box to preserve current frame size, or maybe it’s frame size from source.

Thanks Oliver….where do you find the time? Oh, of course. It’s 2020.

First….don’t format anything until you know you have the files you do have backed up somewhere!
Looks like the first drive is a Mac Formatted drive….you should be fine using it for years without issue on the Mac.
The second drive is NTFS which you would not be able to copy any files to anyway….Mac does not allow writing to NTFS.
Make sure the first drive is unplugged when you start working with the new drive!
I normally start with partitioning it first then do an erase or format to the one I want.
You’re good….don’t lose any data! Be safe!

Ok, full disclosure….I renamed the shared folder so it updated the new name to the last saved snapshot which was blank. Renamed it back and all the files are back!
Whew.
Disaster averted.

That is one of the biggest program flaws in the CC environment….window layouts. I run CC 2017, 2018 and 2019 and even 2020 on my iMac Pro. Never twice the same layout. What’s worse, in AfterEffects on some pull down tabs, if I have the window on my second monitor it doesn’t pull down…slide the entire window over to the other monitor and it works fine.
Also the window layouts seem to run on top of the system and they become persistent when opening or when crashed etc….they won’t give up their real estate without a Force Quit.
I think the window layout division of Adobe needs a little house cleaning. One of my biggest frustrations.

I’m not sure. Once you have the footage, isn’t the editing process mostly an individual at a workstation? Maybe not for long form, but once the edit is done the project can be sent to a colorist, or the OMF audio to an audio post house etc.
Unless you’re talking quick turn like news and you still want to edit from home. My daughter is one of the only ones going into the station to cut all day. Sales is at home.
So footage is 300 miles away, or 1000 miles away. Send it to me and I’ll get cutting. Especially when we are talking 6k Red footage! How in the world are we going to cut 6k Red footage over a 500mbps internet connection?
As has always been the case, the minute we get Thunderbolt 3 or M Drives we gobble up all that bandwidth with 4 layers of 6K Raw footage. It’s never enough. So once we all have 2k mbps internet it still won’t be enough.
It seems that the best way to edit/color/audio is still a dedicated workstation with the assets on local drives. I think we’d all agree we have the review process pretty solid with several methods and tools. But if we really need a guy to be looking over our shoulder while we edit (again, aren’t most of us editing alone with a review process later….even Schoonmaker?) why not send the output of the record monitor as a stream thru an encoder and OBS?
What we really need is a better way to send footage on a drive via FedEx….a pipe that allows just bulk file transfers in some magical, super/hyper packet technology that’s even faster than Signiant’s products. Shoot, package, send to editor within 4 hours. That work?

Thanks Nick….yup, have done that. But I’m thinking doing these now. Actually a lot of shows are doing this. The interview segment at the end of Tiger King with Joel McHale is one idea. You talk to the interviewee with audio on a cell phone in his ear, while he records the video and audio onto the iPad/Phone. This way you are not using the iPad for the interview conversation, just the clean recording of the subject with good sound (external mic).
The subject must use an earphone to hear the director is the only drawback I can see. Also they must train themselves to look directly at the camera and not themselves on the screen….I was going to cut a hole in a photo of myself that would attach to the iPad over the camera so they would essentially be looking at me the whole time!

OK, what I’m thinking is to send a kit to the interviewee, most likely an iPad with stand, mic and the app all set to record. I don’t have to use the iPad to talk to them remotely…but maybe I use the iPad to do the initial setup via facetime to get the shot looking good….then they would switch to some app that can record their video and I would just conduct the interview maybe via a simple audio phone call.
After the interview they send the gear back with a prepaid label. That’s my thinking anyway.
I know it could also be a small camera kit, but the iPad seemed easiest. And once the shot is setup the rest of the interview would be via phone call while they recorded the AV.
Caveats?

I think that is an astute observation. I suppose I might suggest there are many avenues you can take to explore your creative motivation to tell stories.
I work in corporate video, which includes government and university. All of these, which also pay BTW, have provided me avenues to explore creative ideas in many different ways. Editing, animation, producing, writing…some were stories, some were producing to a script or boards. But in every case I was challenged to solve a creative problem using one of my skillsets.
And then I got paid for it.
So for me the industry has provided both the outlet for my creative drive, as well as the ability to earn a living doing something that is more of a hobby than a job. And with people who are driven in the same way and make their contributions to the creative at hand.
So I’d suggest not to box yourself in to a particular type of media, but rather apply your creative skills to different kinds of media and you’ll find success and satisfaction.
