Thanks, Bob. I’m not the one who needs these, was just commenting that Staples is a source. It’s around the corner from my apartment. Looks like the 4-pack I bought was $30, not $20. Sorry.

I got a 4-pack of Staples USB drives for in the neighborhood of $20.

I’m curious. Are you talking about an audio mixer to work with you in your edit room on your files or about taking your files to an audio post studio to work with a mixer? I’ve spent 8-10 hours in a mix studio for a 20-30 minute film. (a 25 minute film with 16 tracks.) If your film has complex audio or the audio needs a sweetening you would factor that in. I’ve mixed 10 minute films in 4 hours in a mix studio. Depends.

Hi Ken,
I could never get the 16mm Moviolas to work — always ended up punching extra sprockets or shredding film. I knew some folks who rebuilt and recalibrated them all the time who could work with them. Maybe 35mm Moviolas were kinder. Maybe that’s why I have such a good feeling about Steenbecks.
Congrats on your $billions of spinoff. Hope you got a few bucks out of that.I have the impression that the speed of computer jacks is limited by their initial design and perhaps by the computer “bus,” whatever that is, so if you hooked up superfast connections or drives to USB2 or Firewire jacks on your computer, whatever it is, you wouldn’t pick up any speed. But I’m no techie. Lots of people will know more about this.
Best wishes,

I keep an 2013 MBP with OS Mountain Lion to work with FCP7. I use an OWC external box to move files around among my High Sierra Airbook (Thunderbolt 2, USB 3) and a set of Firewire 800 drives. I can edit the camera files on the FW drives in Premiere Pro and in Resolve on the airbook. I don’t try to edit legacy projects but I imported one legacy project from FCP7 to Premiere Pro CC (a few years ago) with some tinkering with the XML import files. All the cuts came through eventually but I didn’t have many other effects. Doing them now in Premiere. I wonder what OS you are working with. As you know, some software runs only on certain OS, and some OS only run on certain machines so it’s a little complex to keep them all available. I’m sick of Premiere and dreaming of switching to Resolve for all new things, but it’s tough to work with so-called legacy projects these days. Used to be easier with film and Steenbecks.

I’ve heard lots of people say you can import old projects into new versions but not the other way. So the project probably can’t be sent back to the client’s Pr 2014 once it’s worked on in Pr 20117. It will have to stay in 2017. Is that what you want?

Sorry I don’t have an insight or solution, but I have seen threads here and elsewhere about errors in Adobe product timecode.
Perhaps search this discussion group.
Good luck,

Thanks, Shane, that part seems easy. Though I’m signed up through June on their yearly plan.
Do you have any advice on the best way to export projects so that they will be editable in another program?
Can I export and continue editing a project that’s not finalized?
I’m looking at using Resolve, for example.
Thanks,

Wasn’t it Orson Welles who was credited with the concept of overlapping dialog in the movies.? The press scene in Citizen Kane. What is it that is an aesthetic problem with your soundtrack that you can’t fix by simply adjusting levels of the different tracks? Maybe there is too much room presence . . . can’t cut between lines that aren’t clean?
Is there a technical issue? Curious. In case I try to do this sometime.
Thanks,
Cheers,
