No need for digi and SP. Just hire a Sony J30 and it’s got firewire (iLink) built in.

Some extremely prompt and helpful advice from Dwaine at Blackmagic appears to have got me going again. Phew.

I’ve just been looking at the demo version of the Sublime program. Can anyone tell me how to get white subtitles on a solid black background (a bar the same length of the text)? Would that be done in FCPX?

Thanks!

I’ve done it in my ancient copy of Photoshop but I’m certainly going to check out Pixelmator. Thank you.

Thank you – I do have Photoshop but I’m not an expert. I’ll delve into Lynda…

Funnily enough I think I asked about this drive the other day at an Apple Store in Orlando. If it IS the same one I looked at https://store.apple.com/us/product/H8683ZM/A then it’s 5,400. The rep told me the thunderbolt doesn’t make the drive work any faster and pointed me towards the https://store.apple.com/us/product/H7114ZM/A/lacie-little-big-disk-thunderbolt-series-hard-drive?fnode=MTY1NDA0Nwwhich, of course, is much more expensive and needs mains power.

I think you also need to be running 10.7. I’m still on 10.6.8 and don’t have that option on FCPX 10.0.5.
