Rosenblum developed a reputation as an editor to go to when a movie was in the toilet. Ovewrall I found him to be very self reflective in both his weaknesses and his strengths. He very much was championing the role of the editor which all to often is undervalued. How many directors do you here give any credit to the editor. On the theory side, I found the chapter on “The Pawnbroker” very informative in how in editing a film was transformed from average to extraordinary. All in all I agree with Rosenblum in that the editors role is as important as any of the higher profile postions. Directors from Welles to Ang Lee have made statements that cinema begins in the editing room.

More likely than not youre project file is corrupt. Go to your autosve folder and open up the most recent version of your project. To help prevent corrupt project files; I periodicly (sp?) same the project under a different name (I add 1, 1.1, 1.2 etc.) I’ve found that if you keep saving to the same project files over a long period of time you will inevitably get corrupt files.

I heartily second that. Best FCP plugs I’ve used.

Check out the Rosemblum book. I just finished it and really enjoyed it. Some nice commentary on one of the seminal films for editing “The Pawnbroker” I haven’t read either of the books you mentioned. One other I forgot of “First Cut: Conversations with Editors” A great book on real world editing theory. Plus I worked with one of the editors profiled in it. If you ever get the opportunity to work with a seasoned, good editor take it. You’ll (I did) learn more than you’ll ever learn from any book.

“In the Blink of an Eye”-Walter Murch
“The Conversations”-Walter Murch and Michael Onadatje
“When the Shooting Stops the Cutting Begins”-Ralph Rosenblum
Karel Reiz’s book (dated but still a lot of applicable content)
Any of Sergei Eisensteins writings
Watch “The Pawnbroker” any of Dede Allen’s, Ann Coates, Sarah Flack, Walter Murch’s work.These are often cited and all some of my favs.

Youre on the right track with the eq. drop the low end down. Check out kenstone.com. I think there is an article on using audio plugh in and a tutorial on making a phone voice. There is no instant phone voice plug in in FCP.

Dont forget audio and video monitors, especially consider the expense of HD monitoring.

I agree with Mark totaly. All I use my little Behringer for is volume controll. Especially with acitve monitors where there is no volume control on the monitors. I also have my CPU audio out conected to the mixer so its easy to listen to either of the audio sources I use in my set up.
