If you insert edit video after laying anything on A3 you will overwrite it – A3 on Betacam is an FM track “under” the video.
FWIW I too have never heard of putting TC on A3. A2 on a U-Matic yes. But not this.

[Thax] “It IS up to the posters here to provide legitimate information and stay within the law.”
The law is there to protect copyright owners.
If copyright owners refused anyone permission anytime anywhere to synchronize their property to moving images, there would be no synchronization. No music in movies, TV shows, ads, nothing.
In practice copyright owners can and do implicitly allow synchronization prior to rights purchase.
For example – the producer of a “piece of visual entertainment” may want to use a track that the publisher and recording company may or may not allow until they have seen an offline – in other words the usage. If you send them the offline with the intewnt to enter negotiation for usgae of that track, they will generally speaking not prosecute – it is in their interest to allow people to trial music in order to then purchase it.
Caveat: *it could depend on who you are*! Jerry Bruckheimer? or known offender who persists on posting videos on the net that clearly do not use cleared music?
Discussion of this topic on this forum, I believe, should proceed in the light of the above.
So if anyone thinks I have misinformed or endangered fellow grazers with this post, please please feel free to comment!!

[Bob Vick] “Will the name change in my capture file on my raid?”
When next you capture new material, FCP will create a folder in your capture scratch folder with the name of your (re)named project. It won’t rename the old folder. Similarly with render files etc.
HTH

[Evan Schafer] “My simplest but most effective and frequently used key combo in an edit session is SHIT+Z”
must be the kind of edit session when you can’t even leave your chair to go to the crapper.

[Deditster] “this is great.
cmnd+option+m = edit marker
very handy.
d.”
Don’t forget if you have navigated to a marker already just hitting m will edit it.
I do this all the time prepping for DVD. “mm”, type marker name, click “add chapter marker”, enter, on to the next.
If anyone knows a shortcut for the “edit marker” dialog box to “add chapter marker” please let me know. I’m sick of mousing to the button…!
Good thread.

Kevin does that mean that numeric keypad numeral keys are different (separate function) to the numeral keys above the QWERTY row?

Just discovered this – not one shortcut but a few very useful ones that work together – to use a sequence as a source in a new sequence without hopping between timeline tabs copying and pasting:
Option load your sequence into the viewer.
In the viewer: up and down arrow between edit points, X to mark a clip or just plain old in & outs.
Command-F9 to insert, Command-F10 to replace – places the *original clip(s)* into your timeline, not a *nested clip* of the source sequence!!!Just rocks. I’m back in Lightworks.

At the risk of being a wet blanket, but given the many discussions on this forum – if you owned copyright on Take 5 would you want a cut?

I would use MPEG-2 60min High Quality Encode in Compressor.
But a better workflow is always export non-self-contained from FCP and drop straight into iDVD using the “Best quality” encoder setting, or into DVDSP, and use DVDSP to encode according to your preferences. (Sorry, not a DVDSP expert.)
No DVD I make is over 60min. I find iDVD gives good results.
Hope this helps,

Slight hijack but might also help – is there an mp4 format that plays in Windows and QuickTime (much like mpeg-1)? And BTW will WMP recognise H.264?
