The new FCP sounds awesome, but Shane, what do you mean when you say the markers move when you add footage? Do you mean the markers move down the timeline if you perform an insert edit? How does this help you out when you edit? I can’t say I’ve ever needed that…not that I’m knocking what you have to say about the new FCS. Just wondering if you’re doing something that makes for more efficient/organized editing that I don’t know about.

Here is what I do:
-Make the graphics animation in Motion.
-Save the Motion project. No need to export a .mov out of Motion.
-Import the Motion project into your FCP project file.
-Drop your Motion project into your timeline just like you would with any other clip. It may need to render to play back.
-If you want to edit the file in Motion again, simple right-click the file in your timeline and then go to “Open in Editor.”
-Make the changes and hit “Save”
-FCP should automatically update.It’s very simple. There should be no need to duplicate timelines or do anything that seems to be more inconvenient than helpful.
Make sense?

No. Edit with a sequence that matches the specs of your footage. Then use Compressor to export a file that meets your clients requirements.

While I’ve never used them, I’ve read that the KRK Rokit5s are nice. I wouldn’t let the color of the woofers get in the way of your purchase. It’s not like it effects the quality of sound.
If you absolutely don’t want the yella woofers, I’ve heard the M-Audio BX5s and they are nice. I have my own M-Audio DX4s and they are nice too, although they are discontinued…probably replaced by the BX5s

Here’s an interesting thread I came across not too long ago. (i don’t feel like regurgitating it)

sounds like you’d want the quad

Did you break the timecode? That would cause issues even if you are in the middle of the tape.
I can’t help with the drop-frame issue though.

There’s no help menu/electronic manual like in FCP6?

well if your footage is all organized, when you reconnect one media file in FCP, it will recognize the other ones. I think you should transfer your footage to the 2TB drive, especially if your 500GB drive is almost full. The performance of drives starts to become compromised after the 50% point.
So I would transfer all the stuff from the 500GB drive to the 2TB and reconnect the media in FCP before cleaning out your 500GB drive. Then I would use the 500GB drive as a library. That’s what I do with my LaCie. I have an external that I store music on. Then when I want to use a song, I copy it to my project folder in my main drive.
Or you could use your 500GB drive for working in the field if you have a laptop. If/When you make the move to HD, you can offload P2 and SxS media to that drive.
All this making sense?

I read that daisy chaining drives isn’t a good solution. It’s throughput is slow. What kind of media are you working with? I would put media on your 500GB drive that doesn’t need much speed and connect that through FW400
