I’ll second that. Keep the tapes and the project file. That is all you need.
Oh…and the pictures, graphics and music. Those you can probably fit on a DATA DVD.
Now…when the Panasonic P2 comes out, and captures HD to Hard Disk only…THEN I will be using drives as archive masters…

FCP 5 can open FCP 4.5 projects…but FCP 4.5 cannot open a FCP 5 project. It can look back, not forward. The the version of the OS doesn’t matter.
BUT…before you convert a 4.5 project to a 5.0 project, DUPLICATE it and add FCP 5 to the name. In case you run into problems. This way you can still use the fcp 4.5 project (with FCP 4.5)…because once you convert the project, there is no going back…

Did you trash the proper prefs? You might have deleted a file that FCP needed.
FCP Rescue is the way to go. Google it and download it.
You might have to reinstall FCP to get it working again…

It really doesn’t matter. Either one works fine.

Try again. You link is messed.

Shane’s Stock Answer #25 – HDV external Monitor Viewing
To view HDV on an external monitor you are going to need to purchase a capture card, like the ones Decklink offers. They have this to say:
“Blackmagic DeckLink v5.0 includes a host of new features including full support for all the new features in Final Cut Pro HD

I don’t see why not. They both store media in different ways and in different folders.

Create a database with Excel or with Filemaker pro. Excel is the easiest.

Yes. Keep your project file on the main system drive, and your media on a separate drive. It is also VERY advisable to back up your project to another drive (such as the media drive) in case your project becomes corrupt or your HD get damaged. This way, if one drive fails, then you have the project backed up on another.
But true. The project file should reside on the main drive. You don’t HAVE to if you don’t want to…there are no issues with keeping it on your external as well. The most important thing is the back up…

Make sure that you only have an IN point chosen in the timeline and not an OUT point. This way it will only put in what you marked in the viewer.
