In the Red FCS Whitepaper, it has the minimum system requirements:

Minimum processor requirements for using the RED plugin with Final Cut Studio:
• Dual 2.0 GHz or faster Intel Core Duo, or Intel Xeon processor (the RED plugin is only
compatible with Intel processors), with a minimum of 2 GB of RAM

Minimum software requirements for using the RED plugin with Final Cut Studio:
• Mac OS X v10.4.11 or Mac OS X v10.5.5 or later
• QuickTime 7.5.5 or later
• Final Cut Pro 6.0.5, Color 1.0.3, and Compressor 3.0.5
• The RED Final Cut Studio Installer (version 1.0)

If you twirl the triangle next to that master clip with the markers, you can select all the markers and option drag them to a new bin. That will give you subclips for each one. Then if you need them all to have a speed change, you can paste attribute for the change onto all of the subclips.

[Steven Gonzales]

You can change an attribute like font size with XML.

Export the XML, then find the attribute you want to change, then use global search and replace in a text editor to modify that specific tag, save the xml, and re-import.

It takes a bit of looking to find the specific attribute tag, but you can search on the subtitle text, and look at the tags nearby.

The nomenclature of the application Final Cut Pro might not be the same nomenclature used at Fox, but we’re using the nouns that are used in the Final Cut Pro User’s manual.

No, you cannot export multiple different portions of a Final Cut Pro sequence simultaneously.

If you always placed the different portions at the same location in the timeline (for example, if video was placed at the even 10 minute marks in the timeline) you might be able to export use a key macro program to select and export portions, such as Keyboard Maestro, iKey, and QuicKey.

Final Cut Pro is not a scriptable application via Applescript or Automator, but perhaps you could export one large quicktime, and write an applescript to split that automatically.

Applescript has the following commands in its Quicktime dictionary:

select v : Select a range of time
select specifier : the movie whose selection is to be set
[at integer] : starting time of the selection
[to integer] : end time of the selection

export v : Export a movie or track to a file
export specifier : the movie or track to export
to file : the destination file
as AIFF/Apple TV/AVI/BMP/DV stream/Fast Start QTVR Movie/FLC/hinted movie/image sequence/interframe compressed VR object movie/iPhone/iPhone cellular/iTunes/MuLaw/MPEG2/MPEG4/picture/QuickTime media link/QuickTime movie/QuickTime TeXML/standard MIDI/System 7 sound/text file/ThreeGPP/wave : the desired file type
[using default settings/most recent settings] : the export settings to use
[using settings preset text] : the name of the export settings preset to use
[using settings file] : the file containing the export settings
[replacing boolean] : should the original file be deleted first?

[Steven Gonzales]

You could duplicate your timeline many times, delete all but the segment you want from each, then batch export.

As others have mentioned, Final Cut calls it’s timelines “sequences” so when you say you have sequences inside timelines, you are using confusing nouns.

If you have a different purpose for a series of clips, it’s easier to put them in a separate timeline (sequence) and give it a separate name.

I found this on another forum:

“Your HV30 is a “1080i HDV camera” if you have FCP set up to look for anything besides a HDV (1440 X 1080) 60i camera, it isn’t going to find it (because you don’t have one connected) Always capture the footage using the HDV quick setup, with DV and HDV you aren’t really “capturing” you are just transferring a DV data stream the resolution is set. Once captured, you can put the footage in any project setup you want and FCP will scale it for you, or use compressor to make low res proxys (and offline the HD footage) if you wish.”

How are you finishing? What are the source tapes you are capturing from for the “online”? Or are you finishing on film?

[Steven Gonzales]

How are you finishing? If you were editing in 29.97 in Avid, why are you changing the time base?

You don’t have to first remove pulldown in Final Cut unless there is a reason.

[Steven Gonzales]

In the Avid / Red Workflow Guide, Redrushes is used to transcode to Quicktime wrapped Avid DNxHD files and create ALE logs.

If those quicktimes could work in FCP (I have no idea if they would), you could turn the ALE into a Batch List, put the files in FCP and create that tapes?

Anyway, here’s the link for the AVID workflow PDF, which might help you figure a method:

Usually you also need keycode/edgecode numbers and camera roll to refer back to film. Do you have that info?
