    Ah good point- I forgot clients have deadlines… 😀
    Cheers for the resources. Do you think its something I should be able to pick up fairly quickly given Ive been editing for a decent amount of time on FCP?

    Option T is ‘Toggle Clip Keyframes’. You can turn it off by hitting the same keys again, or the little thing which looks like two lines on the bottom left iof the timeline, just next to the small speaker symbol.

    This may help:

    January 23, 2012 at 10:29 am in reply to: MacBook Pro, iMac or MacPro?

    Speaking as a first hand iMac user theyre great. Noticeably faster than the top spec MacBook Pro (which I have used a few times as well). I recently also bought a Sonnet thunderbolt express card adapter- instant access to some older peripherals and eSata ports- great if you have a raid. So yes, go iMac unless you NEED portability… which seems to be an odd one these days, the allure of a carryable computer seems to catch a lot of people out, only to realise it sits on their desk anyway. Also in a pinch you CAN carry an iMac under one arm, Ive carried mine to a few studios and its not TOO bad…

    January 21, 2012 at 12:31 am in reply to: FCP Read and Write Speed

    Perfect thanks very much- just the answer I was looking for! Capture is less of any issue at this stage as the major it of projects I work on don’t have any continuous capturing needs so I allocate time for that either way. Rendering….hmmmm, I can’t see that being an issue, as you say, its reading and writing in that instance and my processor is OK.

    Cheers again!

    My apologies, I realise my post was misleadingly inaccurate in my terminology- of course I didn’t speed up the G-Raids themselves, what I meant is I got the thunderbolt- esata adapter via Sonnet’s new express card thing, but there are some issues in the works with write speeds (many other posts here about that now :D)– what my question was basically asking was is write or read more important because I can achieve faster WRITE speeds with firewire 800 than with the new esata (I know esata should have tonnes more write speed capability but for various reasons it doesn’t at this stage); but twice the throughput of READ speed in caparison to fw800.

    Al- thats not a common issue methinks- I have Lion on mine and currently repel the idea of FCPX, and am running FCP7 without any issue…

    Fredy and Ron, i you have a chance could you use a utility to give me the read and write speeds of your drives when in use with the thunderbolt-express card adapter please?

    (This is a free one:

    Which MacBook pro specifically? I don’t remember a 350GB specific one off the top of my head- what’s the processor? 🙂

    You have which, the Pro version?

    Apparently a statement may be released as early as Monday- I’m sure it wouldn’t be the end of the world, but I’d rather not betray confidence of my retailer who has direct communication with the involved parties 🙂
