Also after compressing the footage in apple prores 422, what is the best apple prores sequence setting? Thank you.

Thanks William. The BD player is connected by component connections (It’s an older monitor, doesn’t have HDMI). But I don’t think that’s relevant because when I play the BD on the BD player, then press the status button on the BD player remote, it displays “480P” on the screen. That indicates to me that the BD is 480P. Right?

When I suggested to my shooter that perhaps she double-clicked, here was her follow-up question:
“It is possible but I think it is a bit unlikely. Only because this same thing happened to me one time when I was filming and I was sure I didn’t double click and there was still part of the footage missing. The way the footage cuts in and out makes it seem unlikely that it was double clicked too. I am sure most people on creative cow will say that is what it is but I have a feeling something else is going on and wondering if anyone else has been able to explain a similar experience.”
Any thoughts? Thank you.

Thank you for the input everyone. I asked a CPA and here’s what she said:
CPA:
I did some research and found that digital images are NOT subject to sales tax in California.
HOWEVER and this is VERY important – don’t give them a CD or DVD with their pictures on it.
According to the state, “Your sale of electronic data products such as software, data, digital books (eBooks), mobile applications, and digital images is generally not taxable when you transmit the data to your customer over the Internet or by modem. However, if as part of the sale you provide your customer with a printed copy of the electronically transferred information or a backup data copy on a physical storage medium such as a CD-ROM, your entire sale is usually taxable.”
Thomas H:
Thank you. Do you think it’s the same for video? It’s still a digital file, so perhaps yes.
CPA:
Yes, if it’s loaded digitally – but no backup DVD
If you ever provide them with the DVD, then the entire sale is taxable
So, in 6 months, if they come back and need a DVD don’t forget to charge them the sales tax!
Thomas H:
Oh, now you raise another nuance. Do we need to tell them that we will not keep an archive? Or perhaps we can keep the archive copy but alert them that if they contact us to order a copy of it, we’ll have to charge full sales tax on the entire job? Hmmm… what if someone else orders a copy of it?
CPA:
If someone orders the archive, you charge them sales tax on the amount of sale for the DVD. You don’t have to go back and charge sales tax on the entire job.

Gabe, We have a suite with OS 10.6.3 with FCP7 on it and when we plug in a memory card with footage from an FS100 using a memory card reader, it doesn’t show up. We have a newer MAC using FCP7 and it shows up and loads just fine, but not with this older OS. Any ideas? tx

Is there a way to load and edit FS100 footage on Final Cut?
