There’s not much to choose from. 16, 32 or 64 gig e-series. Spend what you have/need. If you are looking for the best price, used cards might be the way to go. Look at Ebay.

I just got a memo from Panasonic that stated they were increasing pricing on all media by 5%.

I’ve seen New 64 GB E-series as low as $620.

In P2CMS go to Tool/Metadata Upload. Enter in as much information as you want. Save to SD Memo. Load the SD card in your camera and Load Metadata. It’s that simple.

November 10, 2011 at 9:03 pm in reply to: FCP7 exporting compression

Educating yourself when it comes to producing video. There is a lot to learn.

Here’s a very quick lesson. FCP likes full res video. That can be DV, ProREs, DVC Pro HD, etc.
When you are finished with your edit, you will export your timeline into a self-contained QuickTime Movie. Next step, drop that file into Compressor and as the name states, Compress that file into something else. A popular format for YouTube happens to be h.264. Since videos come in various lengths, you have the option of customizing the bit rate. There is a trade off between quality and quantity. For shorter videos, it’s not much an issue. How well the video was shot and edited also helps too.

November 7, 2011 at 11:18 pm in reply to: Question About Scratch Disk

You should keep your FCP Projects on your System drive and the Autosave Vault to a scratch drive.

You can delete the media off your drives if you have it backed up somewhere.

That being said, before hard drives start to skyrocket in price because of the floods in Thailand, get yourself a 1, 2 or 3 tb drive to replace you current scratch disk (no need to delete the files on that drive).

Just to get a better understanding on how to select your render settings from the FCP menu, select Sequence/Render Selection make a check box after EACH of the selections. Do the same for Render All. This will make sure that if there are any rendering required, FCP will do it.

I use a button or use the keyboard shortcut Option R.

November 7, 2011 at 6:34 pm in reply to: Problem with still image duration in Final Cut Pro.

Here’s a program that will delete your prefs correctly.

As far as setting the still duration, Final Cut Pro Tab/User Preferences/Editing/Still_Freeze Duration
You should be able to set this as low as 1 frame. All changes should take effect when you re-import you stills. Why it revert back to 2 seconds, is a mystery to me. Try restarting your system if all else fails.

FCP will allow you to have a duration of 1 frame. If you are unable to get this to stick as you say, trash your preferences.
