Jason, completely agreed with all the above. There is a common practice of dividing up duties like graphics, etc, to spread out the work – so while you might not have 2 folks working on the exact same thing, you might have one supporting the other.

Shaun – Walter’s comment is based purely on the numbers and is entirely accurate. Based on where you’re coming from, nothing is gained by going HQ.

Evan – as mentioned, backtiming is everything. I started as a musician and music editor, so I find that experience useful, but in the world of NLEs all you gotta do is start where you want to end, and work it from there.
Another trick or place to practice is editing the library tracks you’re using. When working with needle-drop material, I often find that massaging and editing the longer cuts gives me more to work with than just pulling the standard :30’s and :60’s off the shelf.
Downbeats and X-fades. have fun!

Thanks Kevin – good advice and I am re-reading TFM; lots of minutiae but it is, on the whole, a very good set of books!
Have a good weekend,

YOu can easily determine if this is turned on by looking at the Snapping indicator on the upper Right of the timeline.

I also use the entire tablet – I find this gives me greater resolution/accuracy and has the benefit of distributing the (physical) work you’re doing throughout the arm. More focused, repetitive movements, as I understand it, are more likely to cause fatigue and injury.
(I’m not a doctor, but I did watch St. Elsewhere back in the day.)

Isn’t Optical Flow available from directly within FCP6?
I believe the answer is no.
