Thanks, it worked, I duplicate the sequence, highlighted and nestled it with audio mixdown, I got just what I wanted. Thanks for you input, I really appreciate it.

I think is more of a Avid term. Sorry. I mean video mixdown as of getting all the video tracks and mixing them to one (is this possible in FCP). What I want in the end is making all video tracks into one, maybe by making them a clip?

Thanks

Thanks for all of your input guys. I already have a G5 dual 2.0 and most of the time it rocks! I wanted something for portability when I go see clients or make changes on a fly, while with clients. But, I did not wanted to waite money either if it was going to be impossible to work on a laptop with FCP Studio. I guess my best bet is to wait ’till April for NAB and see if Apple comes up with something AMAZING wehter is a new G5 or Laptop… Don’t like the current MACBook Pro, it needs work still, and you need rosetta, etc… I’ll wait ’till April, but I will probably takeSteve advise and buy something in the Refurbished sectiona at apple… Don’t want to be a Beta tester for apple with the new MActels.

Thanks a lot for all of your suggestions, it really helps.

Very good point. Maybe is better to have a portable HD and run everywhere with it. You got me thinking.
Thanks for the input.

I had the same problem, all last week…exactly the same…for some reason the RAM that had be working perfectly up to know, when doing the Harware Test (disc that came with my G5 pkg) the ram was defective. I had to take out the RAM, re-install FCP, now I’m running FCP 5.0.4 with no problems (knock on wood).

I have a G5 dual 2.0 (had 5 gigs of RAM) now 3 gigs of RAM. The good news Kingston has a lifetime warranty on that RAM.

Hope this helps,

Thank you for clarifying, So I should connect the audio out from the AJA to the mixer and from the mixer to the speakers correct?
From the beta machine audio out to audio in to the AJA… Is this correct? Will this work when I want to output to tape?

I had not idea on how to monitor the audio, and B&H they recomended to use optical cables in and out from the AJA to the G5, but it did not work…Can you recommend a Mixer/Speakers.

Maybe I’m still not completely clear, your help is truly appreciated.

My apologies… I have the Beta SP (UVW-75) connected to the AJA I/O via two set of component cables in and out and 8 XLR cables for 4 channels of Audio in/out. I also have connected two optical cables for sound from the AJA to the G5, but I think it doesn’t work. The AJA is connected via Fire Wire 400 to the G5. I have a G-Raid connected to a PCI card via 800FW. I have a Componen to RCA cable that I wanted to connect to the TV but I don’t know exactly where to connected.
AV Setting on the AJA are as following:
NTSC US 8-bit uncompressed
Audio via the AJA i/o.

Yesterday I try most of the day to output from FCP 5.0.3 to the Beta but it will tell me that the output seetings are different from the sequence settings. I try many ways but I was not able to output. I did however did a edit to tape successfully, but was not able to put the time code that i wanted, it just started on whatever tc and recorded.

Your help is truly appreciated. Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks,

I had no answer, but still manage to find an interesting link that explains very well A/V setting, Thought it may be useful to some.
