There used to be a good link at the Editor’s Guild, but the took the information down, so here is an archive of that info (sorry, no graphics linked anymore):
Cinema Tools has been improved a little since then, but this should be a good intro.
Cutting at 24 or 23.98 depends on your sound. If it was synced in the lab, you can get away with 23.98. If not, it’s more complicated, but 24 is usually better when syncing in Final Cut (but it can be done either way if the sound is handled properly). It’s a temporal resolution issue because film is a dual system (sound and picture are separately recorded).

Sounds like a killing to be made in third party DSR-11 doors. Perhaps you could then branch out into ground effect panels with colored neon, chrome knobs, and turbo-fans.

Basically, Universal Access it the part of the graphical interface that allow physically challenged people to use the Mac.
If you go to that control panel, you can enable scripting of the user interface. Then if you open the script editor, you can see that there is a dictionary of scriptable commands, within System Events, in the System Events Suite, within Application, within UI elements you have items that are scriptable, including those contained by “menu bar items” “menu items”.
This allows a person to script so that a challenged person can activate menus. You can use it to have applsescript activate menu items that you choose.
I haven’t tried scripting Final Cut this way, but I think it would be possible.

I think that the best way to automate this is through the Graphical User Interface (GUI).
If you turn on accessibility frameworks in the Universal Access System Preference (off by default) then you can applescript the applications’ menu access.
“Once the accessibility frameworks have been activated, AppleScript can be used to query and control the user interface of most applications. Scripted actions are performed by addressing the System Events application which has a special script suite for communicating with the GUI Scripting architecture.”
Here’s a link at apple about activating the user access scripting:

It doesn’t seem that Sony sells the door only. You would have to buy the complete “DOOR ASSY, FRONT” for $57.72. The part number is X39512842 at https://servicesplus.us.sony.biz/sony-parts.aspx
However, repairing would seem cheaper.

How about placing a mark in the timeline before inserting, then go to previous mark? Would that do what you want?

For what it’s worth, here’s a link at Avid about troubleshooting. There is a pdf link at the bottom of this page which gives some things to try.

You may have checked this, but do you have the right firmware for your Atto card, and is it in the correct slot?
I’ve heard something about it needing to be in slot 4 of the dual processor G5s, but that was in relation to an Avid Adrenaline, so may not be relevant.

Sorry, I mis-typed, 1.27 terabytes is 1,270 gigabytes.

“Most my footage is on Raid 1 and its capacity is 1.27TB, available space left is 57 GB.”
If you have 1.27 TB, that’s 1,270 megabytes. If you want 20% free space, you would need to have 254 gb free space. You have 57 gb free space, so you should move 197 gb.
You can also break up your project file into smaller projects. You could make a duplicate, and in the new duplicate delete all your old sequences, leaving only those you are currently working on. You should see a much small project that will open faster. You can always open the older project if you need anything in it, but your day to day work would be in a smaller project.
