What type of HD is it and what RT settings are you using?

Make your subclips. Toss the ones you don’t want. Then run it through Media Manager to copy it to a new project, deleted unused media. That’ll give you QT files of just your selects.

I’m just talking about what’s legal within the terms of the license you purchased. If you don’t like the terms of the license you should buy the product.

The upgrade price from FCE to FCP is $700. That’s more than the educational price of FCP.

If you’re talking about an education version, it’s about the same price as a retail upgrade. You don’t have to upgrade, but don’t steal software. If you don’t like the price, don’t buy it.

It’s gone from Final Cut Pro package. It’s now a $300 standalone application.

There is nothing in the terms of the education license that precludes it from being used to make money. However, the license is only valid as long as you are en eligible educational user or institution. If you are no longer an eligible student, teacher or administrator, you quit, get fired, graduate, whatever, the license is no longer valid for using the application, and a retail license has to be purchased. That’s not changed. The only thing that’s changed is that you can no longer upgrade from one license to the other. It’s their game and that’s the rules they’ve set. I guess they feel they’re giving such a break on the education price, that if you are no longer eligible for it you should pony up for the full version. There are students who have been using FCP since v2, 3 and 4, that’s like three years, and have been doing it very, very cheaply. If they graduate and want to continue using FCP they have to find a way to buy the application. You may not like the policy, but it doesn’t seem all that unreasonable to me.

There is a substantial render process involved when going back out to HDV. The people at NAB are very reluctant to talk about it, but it sounds like it’s a long wait. Unless you have a board that will support real-time output.
All the best,
