[Juggs] “But how do I fix the problem? “Interlacing” is new to me? Any tips?”
Ok, you must be new to editing in general. Too much to go into on a simple forum like this but interlacing is how an image is projected on your TV. Odd Fields and Even Fields are interlaced to form the image. I’m pretty sure there’s some basic info in the FCP Manual about interlacing.

[Juggs] ” I used a trick I got off this forum about the ole >Shift-N for freeze frame clips and viewing/working in FCP it’s fine, but it’s all jittery once played on my DVD player??”
Did you do the old trick of watching your timeline play on an external monitor before exporting it out for a DVD? Sounds like interlacing issues and you can only catch that on an external monitor. You should NEVER work in FCP unless you have an external monitor on.

[Anders Haavie] “The most important issue. Will 5.0 kill the yak? Let us pray that nothing happens to our favourite animal “
Let’s sure hope so! Though I’m sure the programmers have had to REALLY bury it this time as Steve Jobs has not been a fan of easter eggs. I’m hopeful they found a nice safe hiding place for old Bruce.

[james bannfield] “i’ll buy a new ext drive and test it “
Just spread a bunch of pillows around the floor beneath the drive. That should save the next one if it happens again. 🙂

[guy] “Just click on all the footage that is now offline and do a batch capture. If you set reel names for the tapes during original capture this should be no problem, just feed it the tapes it tells you.”
Exactly. Just do as Guy says and once you complete the batch captures, your Sequence will be put right back together.

I’m working in a situation right now where a show is being cut for SD broadcast on an Adrenaline and then I’m conforming the show for HD on my FCP / Kona 2 system. It’s working great with the Automatic Duck plug-in allowing me to open the entire AVID project right in FCP.
The two interfaces are just different and AVID’s on board hardware does give you some realtime features that you won’t get in FCP. Really, it doesn’t matter what anyone on this or any forum says. You just need to get a local VAR to allow you to sit down and try out the two systems. Your budget and workflow will really determine what system will fill your needs. You’ll most likely also find that one interface better suits how you like to work.

[james bannfield] “2- would fcp-5 rebuild the projects if i just feed the media on a new disk? “
If you have the media on another drive, then you can reconnect the media to the project using Reconnect Media. If you don’t have the media at all, then just recapture the project using the original tapes.

[Paul] “.the point is that when do the Mac zealots hold the company they use and love responsible for making statments that they dont deliver on????”
I would suggest you do some research on IBM, you know, the folks that actually make the G5 processors. They’ve had some articles and press releases over the past year regarding the evolution of those processors. If you stay up on IBM you can have a clue as to when a new G5 might be released and how fast it might be.
[Paul] “what does seem un reasonable are all the people that always have and probably always will support Apple and everything they do, even if they lose the Pro market share because they have decided to be a home media and entertainment company….”
What signs have you seen, even remotely, that Apple will give up or lose the Pro market share?
