Hey Gary,
I’m not editing, I’m comforming. Right now it seems to me that the conforming process is needlessly complex. It should be as easy as going “on-line”. I really don’t need to watch the movie in real time just make sure that all the edits match against the chase tape.
Right now we use systems called IQ’s by Quantel. They are very powerful but a pain to use. I would like to use FCP for smaller projects that were originally cut on FCP because it is so much easyer to put everything back together.. ie opticals… Speed changes…
I am also interested in the idea of using proxies.. I have used this in AAE and works really well. I am wondering if FCP has a simular function.
Thanks so much, Chris
