Thanks for the advice – great help

Can you suggest a specific or favorite type of media drive to use?

Is a maxtor JBOD 1tb from staples good or do I need something like a g-speed as advertised on this screen? 🙂

TIA

Well, after 30 minutes of some choice words, my IT guy informed me that there are 2 delete keys on the keyboard.

So, i am wondering if getting a color coded keyboard would be worth getting since i am brand spankin new to mac and fcp?

I am definitely going to go to some classes too.

Thanks for the link it was a great help

2 questions for you

1. Are there any more tutorials on your site? If so, where?

2. Is it worth buying the training DVD you advertise on your site even though I don’t use After Effects?

Thanks again

Thanks Rich,

Sorry if it comes across like I’m a “cripple” 🙂

I usually do my own research on questions I have and tend not to bother the cow with trivial stuff.

The only reason for these types of questions is because I just got the camera and was told I needed to use it 2 days later on a shoot.

So I only had 2 days (minus the hours that I had to be productive with current productions) to know somewhat what I was doing with this camera, and how it functions with a firestore unit, which I had never used before.

So I figured instead of me wasting time on “trial and error” on searches I thought if anyone had been through it already and can lend me a helping hand in a quick way that would be great.

So thanks again to all who posted, it did help.

Also, how do you set up the FS-100 FireStore hard disk recorder to record from the 500? Do you just set it as a DVCPROHD codec?

If I wanted to record SD onto the Firestore do I choose DVCPRO50 or another type?

TIA

Where would I get these P2 Viewer or P2CMS to view those clips?

I am new to this forum but not to the cow.

I don’t know if this will help but I found this .pdf online that might help you with your problem with strobing.

Hope it helps

Sam
