Here’s a report that says it’s an issue with the older models not supporting PCI-Express 2.0

The link also says NVIDIA was working on a upgrade kit, so maybe that’s now available.

I think this might be what you need:

USB might work in a pinch, but that pinch is where your reputation goes down the drain.

For example, if you’re laying off to tape on a tight deadline, and you get a glitch everytime you edit to tape (albeit at a different spot) then the slightly higher price for a better drive subsystem seems money well spent.

This board is biased in favor of a professional way of working, which means reliability under all circumstances.

For the customer, any technical glitch is a failing of the editor.

Thanks for the clarification and additional info.

You can save out a look (preset) from Red Alert (an RLX) and this will appear as a choice in the Log and Transfer Red plugin.

I concur with Shane’s idea as the best solution.

What might not relink are render files, as they will often be different on the systems (especially as you said they go to a different locations on the different machines).

Just don’t relink renders, and if everything else is in the same path you’ll be okay.

MP3 are no good in Final Cut, because they are highly compressed.

Type or copy the minutes number into cell A1.

In cell A2, type exactly what was in the previous post:

=(INT(A1/60))&”:”&(MOD(A1,60))&”:00:00″

the equal sign tells excel that this is a formula. The “A1” in the formula are a reference to what in cell A1. To be exact, it is a relative reference. INT and MOD are built in functions, which means they take arguments and return a result. The INT returns the results of dividing cell A1 contents by 60, then rounding it down to the previous integer. Mod takes the contents of cell A1, divides it by the other argument, which is 60, and returns the remainder after that division is done. The & sign is a way of concatenating (joinging together) strings, so “:” and “:00:00” are strings.

The result of the first function is joined with “:” and then joined with the result of the second function and then joined with “:00:00”. So you end up with something which looks like timecode, but was really a processing of your minutes to turn then into hours, and minutes remainder after calculating hours.

For your next lesson, you should learn what is the difference between a relative and an absolute reference. This is very useful in Excel.

Many adopt the argument that “I have nothing to hide, so why not let the government intrude?”.

The problem is ideological exclusion. People with ideas that disagree with the policing agency have their voices silenced. Since we all work in the area of intellectual property creation, this should be a concern, as new ideas are the lifeblood of this business / artistic pursuit.

“We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.” — John F. Kennedy

Here’s a paper the issue:

You might have a ground loop problem. You might want to try a high quality isolation transformer on the audio:
