While you are waiting it is possible to share media across systems that are attached via gigabit ethernet.
The place where I freelance is in the same boat and they have three edit suites cutting with Photo-Jpeg 100 media.

Yep I have that in my library. For what it’s worth I did an UPGRADE so in theory nothing should have been moved.
This has happened now on 3 computers that have been upgraded with Tiger. I will try and uninstall and then re-install and see what happens. -
I had already posted this bug. If you have only one monitor then your stuffed. If you have two you can use the monitor that does not have the menu bar. Or you can control full screen playback if the canvas window is on the other screen. Hopefully this bug will be fixed soon.

Yes this is another one of those little annoying things that FCP doesn’t do quite right. It should stay in the viewer always.
If you want to go to the Timeline or Canvas it should be activated by you clicking on it then. I do this so often I’ve mapped SHIFT-SPACEBAR to toggle back to the viewer. Hope this is fixed in V 5. -
Stay away from sub clips in Final Cut Pro HD they are horrible horrible horrible and will drive you mad. Especially if you came from Avid. FCP treats them as MASTER CLIPS. It all goes back to the terrible media management that FCP has.
My recommendation is to use markers to make your “subclips”, at least that way you can always find where the subby came from so adjusting things is a snap. Remember you can load markers as if they were subclips right into the viewer or even the timeline.Let’s hope subclips and all other things to do with Media management are fixed in version 5.

Yes trimming in FCP is still not as nice as it is in Avid. This is about the only thing left in Avid that I prefer.
Who knows if they’ve made any changes in FCP 5, it could be there already.
Final Cut Pro does “think different” to a lot of Avid ways. But once you get used to them you will begin to understand
how well the whole interface is thought out. And how bizarre the Avid interface is.Make the switch. You’ll love it.

Yes. It usually means either a dodgy firewire connection or cable.
