Wait a few weeks until Leoapard is released.

First try trashing your preferences before reinstalling FCP.

If you need to reinstall, you do not need to delete anything. Just insert your original FCP discs and follow the instructions.

I have to add my 2 cents. P2 has its advantages and disadvantages. You do not need to buy hundred of thousands of dollars worth of cards to be productive. With the correct workflow, you can get by with using only two to three cards. 16GB and 32GB cards are coming soon. Price will come down drastically. Come April, HPX500 camera will be the camera of choice.

Do you have any charcoal and lighter fluid? Nest your sequence and apply the Timecode Generator filter (Effects/Video Filters/Video/Timecode Generator). Render away. Play your timeline onto a DVD Recorder or create a DVD.

Don’t get burned!

Doug,

What StevenG meant by Real HD, was that HDV uses the Long Gop stucture and DCVPro HD is intraframe. For those who do not understand, Long Gop only has only one true frame and the rest are made up. Unless you capture your HDV as DVCPro HD, editing and exporting HDV can be very problematic not to mention the vido artifacts it produces. You may not see it but they are very visable.

Don’t get me wrong most HDV cameras can produce nice pictures. You do have to consider who is operating the camera. HD or HD shooting is VERY different than shooting DV. You need more light and have to watch out for focus. HD cameras are less forgiving in automatic mode. You need to customize your settings each shoot.

My option for an HD camera is Panasonic’s HPX-500. This camera is not for your ordinary event videographer. That is why Sony and Canon continue to make their Consumer HDV cameras.

Better to have you lose your render files than your media. Open up your project an re-render

Boris (yes, Boris Yamnitsky) has told me that the next version of FCP will fix many incompatible problems. I hate to have to wait but what what can you do.
I am running BCC 3/Red 3GL on my Dual 2.5 G5 and Red 4 on the Mac Pro Dual 3.0. I am waiting to upgrade to BCC 4 until everything works together without problems.
I use my Boris plug-ins on most of my projects.
