add the clip to the timeline. RIght click on it and choose SPEED/DURATION…now adjust the speed to something like 400%…or 600%…until you get what speed up you are looking for.

Sure, drop a line. But note…this will only transfer SEQUENCES, and the media used in those sequences…NOT the full project. Not all the media, not the project organization, only a sequence.

Yeah…what Yair said. DO NOT IMPORT INTO THE EDITING APP DIRECTLY FROM THE CARDS! You need to have a different protocol…you need to be ARCHIVING on the set, not even using the NLE until the cards are backed up.
1) When a card is full, it needs to be handed to someone in charge of archiving that footage…a job typically handed by a DIT, Digital Imaging Technician. But it can be anyone who is available, and KNOWS what needs to be done. Card full, hand it to the DIT who is at a computer for offloading.
2) Create folders on archive drive that have the project name or initials, the date, the camera number (A, B, C if you have multiple cameras)…and then backup the FULL CARD FILE STRUCTURE to that folder. Everything. Don’t pick and choose, archive EVERYTHING.
3) Archive it again…to a second drive. This is really the best, most full proof method to ensure you don’t lose data…as hard drives can fail. Have a back up. As my boss says, “If it doesn’t exist in at least two locations, it doesn’t exist.” As you will be reusing the cards, that location will go away…so you need two hard drives. There is archiving software that will do this process automatically…like Shotput Pro from Imagine Software.
4) Once the full card structure is backed up…then and ONLY then should you bring into the NLE. Either copy the card onto your media drive (Not the set archive drive…don’t use that…that’s your ARCHIVE drive…separate media drive) or transcode or link.
Low low budget workflow would be a bare minimum of the archive drive and separate drive for editing….IMHO

[Bill Davis] “Just wonder if the reaction would be the same if that same list had placed
Adobe Premiere Pro Editor, or AVID Media Composer editor…in the same position?Would we all react the same?”
Yup, I would have said the same thing.

Install ALL the AMA plugins you can. I’m not sure what other one you need, I never tried, but I was only able to link to this footage when I installed ALL the AMA plugins.

OK…then it needed a better trailer. This one made the movie appear to be marketing.
Thx

[Bill Davis] “The best way to know how good or bad this movie is – would probably be to just watch it.”
Or…have someone who’s seen it say “Hey, it was pretty good. It was about…” and lay out some basics. It’s called “word of mouth.” So…I might wait for that. from an un-baised source…

[Steve Connor] “So you’ve seen it then?”
No, I haven’t. The trailer makes it look like a long marketing video, which I have no interest in seeing.
[Steve Connor] “[Shane Ross] “What purpose does this documentary serve?”
To tell the story of probably the most controversial NLE launches ever?”
That’s not what the trailer lays out. It appears that’s a small part of it, but it really seems to be “the FCX launch was bad, and it turned a lot of people off to it. But really, it’s revolutionary and amazing and does things and goes places no other NLE goes!” So…marketing. If it’s intention was to tell the story of the launch…then I’d be seeing clips of the LAFCPUG SUPERMEET where it was launched…and perhaps video of people’s first impressions at the time. More talk about WHY it was done the way it was done. WHY those choices were made.
If that really is what it’s about, then the trailer didn’t do it justice. If someone who has seen it can tell me what story the doc tells, I might be interested. But the trailer makes it out to be “It started bad, but really, it got better and is now amazing.” Damage control.
[Steve Connor] “[Shane Ross] “Who is the intended audience?”
FCPX Users?”
So…you don’t know? And if it is, is it just a video to justify their loyalty to the NLE? Again…what is the PURPOSE of the doc. For example…
MAKING A MURDERER…the premise is that this man was falsly accused of murdering someone and the doc series goes to show how he was steam rolled by the cops and prosecutors.
SALESMEN…a look into the life of a door to door salesman. Their lives, thoughts…and often tactics they use to sell products. I found it humanizing…showing the challenges they face in going door to door.
LO AND BEHOLD (Werner Herzog). Sets out to show the start of the internet…and showcase the amazing discoveries that came about because of it…as well as the darker sides of technology. How it impacts our lives…good and bad.
AND NOW LOVE (a doc I edited)…the story of a pilot shot down behind enemy lines in WWI, who met a nurse who showed him that love is the answer…the key he believes is the ending human suffering. And shows the journey he took to become a psycho analysist, the battles he fought to bring this theory out…the resistance to it. And ends showing the theory, and people it impacted.
So, is the purpose of this doc to show “Hey, the launch sucked, and the new version lacked a lot of features…and it should have been a dissolve rollout not a hard cut roll out, but really…it got better and now opened the world of editing up to a lot more people…and that itself is revolutionary.” If so, that’s it’s purpose…it’s message. That’s why I asked, what is it? I don’t now, I was hoping to find out…because the trailer didn’t make that clear. The music and clips used make look like a marketing tool.
