Thanks Tom, Im not using camera import but file import.
The files imported fine with fcp7 fcpX10.0 just not with the new “improved” 10.0.1 version!

It was a generic question because I have heard of other .mov files crashing fcx on import.
The .mov files are recorded on a SD card in a VIO POV.hd head camera, (recorded 1080p25 at “best” quality
quicktime reports the files as H264 1920×1080, Millions AAC Mono 16,000 Hz at 12.09 mbits/s
a 30 sec clip is 45.5MB which grows to 202.9 MB as proresLT
As I said FCX10.0 had no problem importing and playing the files, which I comped in native H264 then transcoded just the “few” parts I wanted to further edit with. I do not wish to convert all of my material to pro res before “editing” which was what i used to have to do with FCP7.

was that a pig I saw flying past the window?

I also have the geoforce 8600M GT card but with 512Mb. in an early 2008 MBP 17″ (hi-res screen)
( I believe 128K was not supported nut 512 was)The app store uploaded it to me without any problems.
On V 10.0 I could use fcX, it was very slow with many beach balls but it would work.
Since 10.01 came out I cannot import any H624 files, fcp hangs at validating files for import every time.
Now it says that the 8600GT is NOT supported full stop!
Is this the problem?

It all depends on where u want to work, what do your prospective clients use?
Here in London most of the broadcasters are on AVID ( 3.5, 4.? and 5.0.3) (at present 5.5 does not work with EVS transfer managers)) , (with a few still on FCP 6 or 7.)
I am not sure where the FCP users will move to if at all.
Not in my opinion FCX unless the many missing “broadcast editing” features are added soon.Now that I have MC 5.5.3 ( works with Lion, but not servers at present, you need to boot into SL for network connectivity.) on my laptop, I shall be looking at broadcast input/output options as it looks as if my Motu v4hd died with fcp. Possibly an aja solution, I shall then offer MC editing at “home”, instead of fcp.
Since both Avid and adobe are doing offers at present, I now also have Premier5.5 just in case!

No one else having audio sync problems with Lion?
Any one using a MOTU V4HD with fcp7 and Lion?
Can any one confirm that the audio delay setting works with embedded SDI from a broadcast video interface from a MBP?
I have another OB next week so it looks as if I shall be booting into SL again… and why not! 🙂

It will pay to learn the original AVID trim mode pre MC5.0 accessed by “U”on the keyboard,
from here you can do many different trims to ins, outs, ripples, centre, slip, roll, also try to get your head around asymmetrical trimming, ( trimming different clips in different directions at once.)
-
for a quick and dirty output (useful for quick sport edits) just add a Timewarp at 100% and leave at the default: duplicate field, it just throws every other field away.
It plays without rendering.

What I often do with the video is put my shots on the timeline then as someone said move them to a higher track or more often edit on a higher track leaving my “might come in useful” shots underneath.
As long as the shots above are opaque there is no problem ( in AVID a PIC effect needs to be added to get the effect, so no problem here.)
[The only problem you may get is if using a server (EVS) and “send to playback”, the hidden shots are “seen” if offline or of the wrong video format (SD/HD), and need to be removed.]
With AVID you can view at a different video track (or even solo a track) and unlike FCP7 the renders are not lost!
With audio just mute/solo or turn the whole track off.
I often edit a full mix and M&E together, and just monitor the appropriate tracks in stereo out, until playout when I mix-down and playout in 4-track direct out. -
I thought we used to say don’t keep the project and media together? another change?
Now If we crash lets loose everything.
Being Paranoiac when on a long programme I often take my project home with me on a thumb drive “just in case”The project folder for some reason keeps the high quality renders, so if you render the whole programme, do you still need the events folder to playout?
