I know this issue has been solved but can I just say this highlights to me everything that was wrong with FCP. Yes it was cheap, many non-tech people/production companies thought they were ‘thinking different’ and took it on. ‘Hey just throw your media in the time line and start cutting’ they say……a fine cut is made and everyone is happy except the online editor/colorist who has to deal with all the mixed frame rates, weird file names, bad conversions, etc. Preping an FCP sequence can be diabolical.
It’s interesting how the client whinges when you put that extra prep time on the invoice….I just say to them ‘Think Differnet’
As you can gather I have been scared.
