Any body who knows can’t say. If they worked for Apple, they’d be immediately fired, and properly sued as well. Anybody betaing for the product couldn’t even tell you they were, or they’d be toast.

All the best,

P.S. I don’t see any point in trying to make the application work like obsolete linear systems.

This comes up once every six months or so. The Out point is always after the frame you’re looking at. It will not change. A feature request to make this a preference may be possible, though I don’t know what it would do to the calculations of everything else in the application. I dread to thing what it would do to media manager, which is just starting to surface as a useable part of the application.

It raises all sorts of problems within features in the application. How do you play In to Out? Does playback stop on the last frame, or does it stop on the frame after the Out point as you suggest? That would be crippling to try to see where the shot actually ends, let alone for trying to listen to audio cuts.

All the best,

Tom

There’s one in the upper right corner of each of the main windows. It looks like a coffee bean.

Do you have Soundtrack Pro? Try and fix it in there with Normalize and noise reduction. If it’s really low it’ll be hard because simply raising the levels will raise the noise floor as well. The noise reduction in STP is OK for quiet backgrounds, though it does tend to make the atmos a bit dead; if the background noise is too great noise reduction tends to produce nasty flanging. That said you should be able to do a lot more in STP than you can in FInal Cut.

All the best,

Yes, that’s right. You can apply to stacks. Sorry I didn’t realize that’s what you were doing.
