Oh, I just thought or something!

I think Shane Ross’s Getting Organized in Final Cut Pro DVD talks about getting organized for narrative work.

Sorry, I have no answer to the DPX question though. I don’t even know what that is :/

I don’t have much to offer, but I can say that post will be much more manageable if you break the project up into segments instead or working in one big 60 or 90 minute timeline. Even a 22 minute project I did for someone was broken up into 4-6 minute segments

Once you plan what you want to include in the segments, it’s sorta like planning a bunch of short form projects.

That’s been my experience, at least. Hope that helps a bit.

Scott Sheriff,

The situations you’re listing off don’t compare well to Walter’s situation.

In his situation, he is the employer and the freelancer is the ’employee.’ They want to avoid competing over common clients.

In the situations you listed, you made Walter the client – the client of his plumber, his mechanic, his carpenter, his barber, his electrician. He’s the CLIENT is all of those, so your examples aren’t applicable.

The resume example you provided is more along the lines of what he was talking about though. And I’m assuming Walter would have no problem with his freelancers sending out resumes as long as they weren’t going to his clients.

…just saying

“Something like FCP6 with a 2xG5 and MXO2 might be a good match?”

You can use ProRes on G5s, but it is much better on an Intel Mac. FCP6 is capable of handling XDCam, though. You’ll need to download the XDCam Log & Transfer software before you begin. The MXO2 is a good option as well, in my opinion.

I am on 6.0.6 and I don’t have a problem with FCP Project files of that size. A 15MB FCP project is kinda the norm, at least for me anyway. I believe problems occur when your FCP project file is larger than 50MB

How is your system set up? You’re not loading media to your system drive, are you? Have your tried trashing preferences? Digital Rebellion’s FCS Maintenance Pack?

If you’ve used Motion before and are familiar with the interface, you’ll find that motion tracking isn’t hard at all.

If this is the first time you’re going to use Motion though, it may be a struggle. Take a day to read the manual and learn the interface. Then learn read about the motion tracking. It isn’t that difficult, it just takes some time. And you’ll feel good about yourself once you do it.

In fact, if you read the manual to learn the interface, you may find the motion tracking to be quite intuitive, because I didn’t even need to read the manual to learn the motion tracking. I just spent a few hours learning the interface and I’ve been good to go ever since.

No, sorry. I don’t know of any tutorials. I read the manual.

What I would do is import the video clip, then duplicate it one layer is on top of the other.

Add a blur to the top layer, then add the mask around the fact.

Do a motion tracking analysis on the bottom layer, then apply the motion tracking to the mask of the top layer.

It’s actually quite simple. You just gotta read the manual.

Motion actually has a pretty good motion tracker. I think it would work great for what you’re trying to achieve.

Laim,

I just checked out CD Finder’s tutorials and this seems to be the PERFECT solution for a few guys needing a quick data base until we can find time to develop something legit in File Maker Pro. Thanks a lot, much appreciated
