Cool. Great info, guys. It’s much appreciated.
Sorry for posting in the wrong forum, Mark. Some time I’ll post in the other forum as well and see what the guys over there think of this question.
Thanks again guys.

Here is a good tutorial on how to do it in After Effects. If you don’t have AE, you can pretty much do the same thing in Motion.

have you tried opening the clip in just Motion as opposed to sending it to Motion from FCP? If that works, save your Motion project instead of exporting and then import the Motion project file into FCP so you can round trip if you need to

Actually, there’s one a few editors on Mac Pros I think. There’s so many editors, I haven’t kept track. But I don’t think it’s a problem with the iMacs.
I did have to do a software update when I got in this morning, as Dave suggested, and that stopped my system from crashing right when I’d begin working. But then it would still crash later. I noticed it would crash every time i tired to pull a file a from a certain hard drive on the SAN. I told the IT guy and I haven’t had a problem since then.
“Sorry, one more, what is 3Gps network and how are you getting that on an iMac?”
I’m not sure what you’re asking. You mean when I said that we have all the computers connect to the network with 3GBit ethernet? I don’t know how I’m getting it on a iMac. I just plug in an ethernet cord and then my computer can talk to all the other computers.
I haven’t had any problems in he past few hours, but I was also ask to work on something else too. We’ll see what happens when I pick back up with what I was doing last night.
thanks for all the help guys.

i’m not sure how we’d get any work down without edit share though. The series relies on old archival footage, and there’s hundreds of hours worth all being shared between about 20 editors and even more people if you include assistant editors and post production assistants.
I’ll see what happens if i don’t connect to editshare though. I’m off to work now.
Thanks guys.

Jeremy,
I’m not sure exactly what a SAN is. I only know that it stands for Storage Area Network. We use a program called EditShare to access what looks like a big box with 40 or so hard drives. It sits below the rack of tape decks. I’m guessing that’s the SAN…if it is a SAN.
Dave,
FCS2 and the OS X (Leapard) should be fully updated. I am almost positive, but I will be sure to check that tomorrow.

What steps are you taking to export? Are you sending an FCP reference file to Compressor? If so, with what settings?
Did you set up a cluster with QMaster?

The bigger of the two boxes is Action Safe. Keep the subject of your shot in this box to ensure that it shows up on a TV screen.
The smaller of the two boxes is Title Safe. Make sure any text you add to your image stays within this box to ensure that it shows up on the screen and the viewer can see it.

are you trying to export a still image of interlaced footage? If you do that, you have to bring that image into Photoshop and use the de-interlace filter.

Ahh..making notes. That’s a really good idea, especially when working with multiple editors. I’ve been working all on my own up until recently, so I never thought of that. Huh, I wish I would have thought of that.
Thanks.
