Hey Michael –
Yeah, a REAL weakness for FCP and spot editorial which is what I do. We did a similar workaround. Next time we do a ‘dailies-edit-selects transfer’ gig it will to to Avid. Shame.

ah yes, I have heard this before. Actually, I have been on FCP for several years now, and Avid for many years. FCP certainly has its strengths, as does Avid. Both are simply tools. I use FCP or Avid for spot work, Avid for longer form (media management is superior in Avid).
No biggie here folks, I understand the toolsets. Just a simple question (on a wacky HDV project), one that was answered well before the worn out “don’t try to make FCP and Avid” lines hit the threaed! You also have to realize how many Avid features Apple “borrowed” to create FCP before you go there!
Respectfully,

darn this new fangled FCP….
OK, so when I am making new clips, I am not losing any media, just breaking them out per camera start and stop. Thats good then, cause it will be easier to rename them into shots. Sorry for the basic question. One of the challenges I see with FCP is that settings can be changed or have to be made in a variety of places! Thanks all!

no, I don’t want it to create a new clip on each break…just roll straight through…thats what Avid does on Live capture. Creates new TOD code as it imports…

so dissovles, effects, etc effect the entire piece or just that area? I would have to render down to go out to Dbeta, of course, but when you say cuts-only, what are the pitfalls of effects?

I agree with Walter. We bought a Quad recently and it already has paid for itself several times over. And the darn thing just screams. It works, it works now, and it is solid as a rock. If you have a job that is needing the horsepower, get the quad and run it hard for a few years. By then, who knows what will be out.

um, so you are saying that iMovie is a more advanced software than FCP?

1. Avid Liquid (top end) and MC Soft with Mojo SDI are the same price. Does anyone else find this a vdery odd marketing strategy? Can I do a wedding video with MC Soft?
2. 30 minute Motion class was too short but very cool.
3. If you don’t specify, you will always get call brands in your drink.
4. Was it my bad memory or was the Vegas tram much more expensive this year.
5. I will buy Final Touch.
