I have not found FCP to be a stable program. Are you running Avid on approved hardware?

I too have an oppertunity to get a cheap 20″ iMac, loaded up with Ram and everything.
I’ll just be cutting in DV. Will the iMac be sufficient? I won’t be cutting anything longer than 2 minutes.

You could rent a DRS-40 (maybe a 20?) and go SDI 1:1 out into the avid 1:1. That would preserve all quality possible.

I actually hate Boris’ transfer plug ins. Horrific, if you ask me.

I agree. No composite modes is a lame, lame thing. I bitch about that constantly.
Stepping in and out is pretty easy though. Try mapping your keyboard to step in and out. That help immensley.

I’ll be getting a very similar machine in about a week. I’ll let you know how mine runs. I will, however, have a dedicated video card. After getting such a powerful processor, I don’t see the point in skimping on the videocard.

You can export the quicktimes to your desktop and import them with FCP. It’s not the greatest solution, but it works, if you don’t need your timeline info.

I just saw King Kong, I don’t think they even hired an editor(3:07)
Just because you thought it was too long doesn’t mean it was poorly edited. I thought it was wonderfully edited and paced. It certainly did not feel slow, and that’s there the editing comes in. The run time is all Peter Jackson.

If you are comfortable with Avid on PC, stick with Avid on PC. Unless your parter can come up with a reason better than “someone told me Macs are better.”
Neither is better. One is better for you. Only you can know what that is.

Try consolidating the media first. That way you are not exporting all 5 minutes of a music track, all hour of a video clip, etc. Just what you are using from it (plus 90 frame handles of course)
