To add to what Jerry said, I’d get a FW card from Other World Computing. I think they even have the one he mentioned.
As for daisy chaining your G-RAIDs, they will probably show up on your Desktop, but I’ve heard daisy chaining will reduce throughput between drive. That could be problematic with uncompressed material.

have you tried going to
FInal Cut Pro > System Setting > External Editors Tab and changing the “Audio Files” option to Logic?
Do this and you should be able to right click your SEQ in your browser and send it to logic…with the rubber bands translating.

Command + Option + F i think will match the marker to the master clip if plain ol’ F doesn’t.

“What I wish I were able to do is to drag a clip into the timeline and only have the marked sections get added to the timeline.”
When you place your first marker on a clip in the Viewer window, move your playhead down a little and press Option + ~ to make an extended marker (maybe it’s Command + ~). This basically is like making subclips though, and you can drag all the extended markers into your timeline.
“On the same note, I wish there was like a key I could hold down when dragging the markers from the browser to the timeline that would not make them independent clips named “Marker 3 from…” but I’m pretty sure this doesn’t exist either, since I have tried the common key combinations.”
If you’re giving your in and outs of extended markers (or subclips) enough heads and tails, then you shouldn’t really need them to be independent clips. But if you’re editing and find you need one to be an independent clips, place the playhead over the clip and press F. This loads the original clip into the viewer with corresponding in and out points. you can then overwrite the extended marker or subclip.
I don’t know if these were EXACTLY the answers you were looking for, but I think this helps

“A previous poster recommended that you set your compression settings at 8MBs. But he did this without knowing the specs of your video. This data rate, in my opinion, is to high for most situations and does not leave enough headroom in the bitstream”
That’s interesting. I was told a long time ago that 8Mbps should be fine for most DVD players and exceeding that can be problematic. I’ve never had a problem with DVDs at that data rate.
You are right though. It all depends on the project. There certainly is no one size fits all

I’ve read on the COW that people have had problems with audio being too low after they’ve encoded and this is one of the parameter to change to fix that.

you’re in luck, i just made a blog post about this last night on my blog. It’s the first entry at
Basically, One Pass CBR at 8.0Mbps will give you the best results. It fits about an hour or so onto a single layer DVD.

ahh, is there something that notifies everyone when the FAQs section is updated? I know those questions weren’t there when someone else pointed me to that section, but that was a long time ago. Thanks though.
Anyway, is this the answer:
With the HQ version the CPU is actively interpreting all 256 levels of grey on encode but passing that back out re-interpreted with all 1024 levels on output, that is one HUGE Mathematical Processing task.
With the Standard version of ProRes, that data is not re-interpreted on output until the process actually asks the CPU to handle the content in 10bit by adding filters, efx, or color correction. So normal playback of your timeline is unaffected until you do something to it.
…interesting

What are you trying to do, export the best quality H.264 file?
For that, I just move the Quality slider to “Best.”
Next, if you hold down the Option key and hover your cursor over the Quality slider, you’ll notice it chances to Temporal. Move that to “Best” too.
maybe that will result in a higher bitrate?

“Experienced producer, early fifties, former CNN anchor covered the first Gulf War, always had a lot of sales, mktg & PR videos for me, just got certified as a financial planner and is selling mainly annuities. Cited DIY client trend and clients drying up.”
I’ve actually tried to exploit companies’ ideas of DIY video. I think for young people like myself, right now is a good opportunity to find steady work. I’ve begun contacting places to see if they would be interested in a full-time “video production specialist.” I think it’s a good idea because I personally don’t like sitting behind a computer day after day. I like to move around. And who isn’t interested in video these days? So I contacted a zoo and said I’d help out around the zoo (cause I’m an animal lover) and I could do their video work – anything from research and training videos to web videos. I really think it’s a good opportunity for young people. Unfortunately, that probably doesn’t sound very appealing to all of the other folks around here who have way more experience than I do.
