Thanks Jeff.

Appreciate that. Yes, I learned that lesson very early on. 🙂 I am surprised that it behaved differently in Windows.

You are absolutely right 🙂

I’m going through and replacing each spanned piece with a .mov file. Not ideal, not foolproof for a bunch of technical reasons but it’s better than what I had. Most clips are now matching up.

Thank you.

Edit: Re transcoding – Squeeze keeps crashing when I drag in these MXFs one at a time., on a few of them anyway.

It’s useful to move sections of edited material around the timeline quickly and without a mouse.

Quick question for Jeff (or anyone else):

What is your setup with the Shuttle Pro – in your right or left hand, and how do you use it in conjunction with the keyboard (and mouse if applicable) for editing?

I am particularly interested because of your comment about cutting teeth on analogue gear.

I just picked one up for cheap and looking for recommendations, in case they are not the same as the obvious ones I can think of myself.

Thanks Bret.

I am working in a native sequence (HD) currently. It’s blown up to 200 percent in the native sequence. I’ll run a test, good idea, and let you know. I thought that there would be still less pixels than required in the smaller sequence… I admit, I’m an editor storyteller, I don’t have the technical chops that some do, hence my post 🙂

Appreciate it

Thanks Shane. I had a long think about what you wrote, and it helped solve the problem based on what Final Cut requires.

I put the DVD file down in a sequence, put the new footage overtop, and exported a self contained movie. I made sure all the frames matched up, and the timecode was right.

Worked like a charm.

thanks for letting me know. Appreciated.

Thank you. Great!
