For that, I hit “T” and then hold the shift key. It’s less work.

I’ll also add a couple of my favorite remapped key strokes:

Reconnect Media: shift+command+R
Media Manager: shift+command+M
Reveal in Finder: shift+command+F

Other commands that I love:

Paste Attributes: option+V
Remove Attributes: option+control+V
Insert Paste: shift+V
Move Video or Audio clip up or down one track: option+up or down (doesn’t work with both video and audio selected)
Easy slip: select clip, select slip tool and use the brackets to go back and forth (hold down shift to move 5 frames at a time instead of one)

There are so many more, but these come to mind off the top of my head.

As far as I can see, it only talks about FCP adding a 2:3 pulldown when it outputs to firewire. My hopes are dash:(

I haven’t been able to figure out how to add a 2:3 pulldown in Cinema Tools. Any suggestions? That would be really handy to know.

Just as a note, AE CS3 appears to fix this. You will be able to select which ever color space you want to work at. I CAN’T WAIT!!!!

[Russell Lasson] “So, is there a loss when you go from a 4:1:1 or 4:2:2 compressed format to 4:2:2 uncompressed? Will uncompressed 4:2:2 through away half of the color information or will the program doing the converting figure that it doesn’t need to because the color space is less than or equal to the uncompressed format and just translate (not compress) the current values into the uncompressed format, thus not losing anything?”

If you’re in FCP version 5 or later, you can open you sequence settings – video processing tab – change motion filtering quality to best.

You’ve probably already done this, but it doesn’t hurt to throw it out there just in case.

Yes, what is that “none” thing about?

The default size for uncompressed is 720×486, but you can change that to 720×480 by selecting custom on an export or just changing your sequence compressor.

Adobe, Nattress, Blackmagic Design… JVC and Canon are work a quick walk through too…

But definately what Shane said, especially RED.

Another option is using Nattress Standards Conversion.

Elliot,

Hopefully something out of this will be helpful. Sorry we got a little off the topic.
