I wonder if this will allow me to use the multi-touch gestures with my Powerbook G4, which has Leopard.
My favorite is scrolling with 2 fingers, which you can’t do on the Powerbook’s trackpad

How are you looking at a .dv file in FCP? I don’t believe that’s a supported format. Did you capture using iMovie and then bring the clip into FCP? Not a good idea.

I wouldn’t buy that. Final Cut Studio goes for $999. The only discount available is a student discount.
If you need a bargain, you may be able to find someone selling Final Cut Studio 2 on Craigs List or something.
Even if this link were legit, downloading means you don’t have the discs. And if you don’t have the discs and you need to reinstall for whatever reason, you’re outta luck.

“I tried the Apple Intermediate Codec, it makes me render from the timeline”
You need to make sure your sequence settings match your footage settings to avoid having to render.

You’re not able to transcode to DVCProHD with MPEG Streamclip?

“now when I take the slow mo file back into compressor, what I do then is set the time frame to what it was at normal speed and have Compressor conform it back right??”
no, if you DO NOT want your clip to be slo mo, then there is no need to bring it into CInema Tools to begin with. You can do the frame rate conversion and down conversion in one shot with Compressor.
“Also I am reading about programs such as Twixtor, FieldsKit, Nattress in this thread https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/8/1000022 —that allow you to do all of this in FCP?”
Twixtor is used for speed changes – time remapping as they say. I’m not sure what those other plugins are for.
“Is using the de-interlacer in FCP a bad idea, should I invest in a deinterlacer if I want to bypass the compressor time issue?…”
Right, DO NOT use the deinterlace filter in FCP. All it does is toss out one of the fields. Compressor is the tool to use if you want to deinterlace (unless Kona cards can do it, i’m not sure)
“Also I found this one —JES Deinterlacer— looks like its free. (https://www.xs4all.nl/~jeschot/home.html#DEI)”
I dunno. I never used it before

Not just your sequence settings have to be 16-bit 48KHz, but the music file must be as well. Here’s a tutorial:

I could be wrong, but I don’t think Cinema tools down converts. You will have to do the 1080 > 720 conversion in Compressor, and compress to ProRes
Bring that ProRes file into Cinemas Tools and you will see a “Conform” button at the bottom of the window. Simply click it and it will conform it to 23.98.
Now, understand conforming 29.97 to 23.98 will give you a slight slo-mo effect. If you want 23.98, but want the video to remain in real-time, then that has to happen with Compressor as well.

Your workflow sounds good to me, as long as you know how to go from FCP > Soundtrack > FCP and FCP > Color > FCP.
Here’s a tutorial I made for DVD compression:

hmm, well, I’m glad regular ProRes is just fine for most cameras, cause this is WAAAY over my head.
