And lighting. Those colors come from the lights.

[Dennis Roliff] “My question is, will a 2017 iMac running OS Mojave boot up from an external boot drive running Mac OS Sierra ( the last Mac OS that supports Final Cut Studio )?”
It should…because Mojave came out AFTER the computer was sold. Typically the OS that is out when you buy the computer is the earliest you can use. So you should be able to use one prior to mojave on that computer.
[Dennis Roliff] “If so, couldn’t I load the FCP Studio software onto that bootable drive and run it ‘remotely’?”
Sure…worth a shot.
But you have a completely compatible machine that will run it…that 2008 MacPro. WHy not keep using that for FCP? If you need to convert footage and need the power of the iMac, use that, but then cut on the machine that supports it. That’s why I have my 2008 MacPro

Here’s what Avid teased with today:
And yes, I’m excited for it

If you are mastering to 720p, yeah, I’d stick to a 720p sequence.

Really? that’s what you want? Those look like mistakes. Look, really odd, jarring.
BUT, if you want to do that…just double click on your clip you want to zoom in on, it loads it into the PREVIEW monitor. Go into the effects tab, increase the zoom factor…and then position to push into the area you want.

The subtitle track is something embedded in the metadata of the video file. That’s not something Avid can read and then display. If you want them to be in the Avid, as a separate element, you’ll have to extract that file and import it separately. I don’t know how to do that…hopefully someone will answer who does. But I do know that you need to do some shinanigans to get it into Avid. Get that .SRT file out and converted to something Avid can import.

What David said. Premiere Pro does a great job of scaling. NO need to scale before you edit.

[Jimmy See] “Is it a limitation of the AAF standard that this isn’t an option, or just no one particularly felt it was necessary or thought about it.”
Neither. AAF and consolidating are doing what you tell them. Consolidate…all media in the timeline. AAF export…all media in the timeline. If you needed more to be included, you need to put that onto the timeline. It can’t guess what you want. Because I will have clips with 8 tracks of audio, but really I might only want to send 1 or two. Or, four tracks are silence (XDCAM format often has 8 tracks)…and I don’t want the silence to be sent. So, if you want certain audio tracks to be consolidated or exported…put them on the timeline.
[Jimmy See] “I’m thinking it could be a good feature request, after all, it’s useful for much the same reasons that the feature as it currently works for multicam is.”
Worth a shot. But note that in the case of multicam…ALL of the angles are included on the timeline. It’s a clip with multiple angles embedded. What you describe isn’t…a clip will have 8 channels, but you only put one on the timeline. Because only one is there, that’s all it knows. Unlike multicam, where all are there.

[Jimmy See] “I actually thought that this is what ‘include inactive tracks’ means but actually having now tested that I can see it isn’t”
That refers to MULTICAM clips. If you have a multicam clip with 4 angles, and you only see one, if you use this option, ALL FOUR will be consolidated.
[Jimmy See] “Imagine the source of that clip has 8 tracks of audio recorded, 7 of which you didn’t want during your edit, so you only placed in Track 2 of the source in your timeline. For offline editing, prior to mix, that’s fine, but for the mixer, those 7 other tracks could be useful.”
Yup. This is why even if you only use one of those tracks, but need to provide all 7…you must include all 7 in your timeline, and drop the audio down on the 6 you aren’t using. This is one reason I have 10 dialog tracks to deal with on my timeline…I include all the audio tracks the mixer will want. Sorry, it is a pain, but this is the way it must be done in order to get all 7 over. AAF will only include what is on the timeline, that’s it.
One option to getting the mixer ALL of the audio, that is also widely done, is for you to give them ALL of the audio, and then an EDL of the sequence, and they auto-conform it on their end. Yes, this takes longer to do, but it gets them all the audio tracks. Talk to your mixer about this option.

Do you have FCExpress installed? I’d just check the one I have installed.
