Tom, thanks for the nice explanatory link. I work with students and get this question all the time.

You can use Find in FCP to get the records you want, then export batch list from the found bin. You can open the batch list in Excel, as tab delimited, and then the sky’s the limit.

Timecode is an addressing scheme, which gives a number to each frame of video. Whether the frames are played back at 24 frames per second or 23.98 frames per second, they still have one address per frame.

There is a scheme which is called drop frame time code, which skips some frame numbers so the timecode count stay accurate to the wall clock, but it still gives one frame address number to each complete frame of video.

So the 24 frame timecode is accurate for 23.98 video. The only issue is that it takes a little more than a second to play the 24 frames.

For normal video at 29.97 frames per second, the number scheme is a 30 frame cycle.

So there are two different things: the addressing scheme, and the clock. The temporal playback does not affect the addresses, just where they occur in time.

Try it and find out.

Go to the finder and check your project file size. Then make the new sequence and fill it, then save and check your project file size.

Final Cut allows great flexibility in working.

To combine these scene sequences into one long sequence, there are two basic choices:

Make a new sequence, the open each scene, select all, copy, then paste into the new sequence.

OR

Drag each sequence into the new sequence in order. This is called nesting sequences.

Your choice depends on many factors, especially how your are finishing. There are issues with finishing and exporting lists from nested sequences in a professional workflow.

I thought with XDCAM when you install the Sony plugin, then you use file menu — import — sony XDCAM, not log and transfer.

I read this a while back, though. I don’t have the plugin installed.

Here’s some people with a potential answer:

“Sound Edit

Once picture and sound are locked, sound is conformed and assembled in Final Cut Pro. Using custom scripts, the audio timeline is rebuilt using all tracks of the original polyphonic WAV files and is sent as a multitrack OMF to sound editing.”

Try contacting Electric Entertainment and maybe they’ll give you some help. The reference is here:

Try creating a new user, then log on as that user and see if FCP opens. You may have something corrupt in that user profile.

Rule #1: if you don’t know what a change of settings will do, don’t change it.
