You’ve no doubt figured this out by now, but you have to create a new project, and choose to create an NTSC project.

Sorry, I guess I had an opinion and it sounded like you were soliciting them.

Frankly I don’t see how it can’t be worth it. It is dirt-cheap– if you’re doing any amount of roto work you need Silhouette. Alternatives? Not really, Silhouette is today’s best solution for roto work.

Maybe have your guy export Media Logs as ALEs then use Sebsky Toolsl to convert to a FCP Batch List.

No. Multiclip information is not exported to XML 1.0, and FCP 4.5 cannot import XML 2.0.

That checkbox only applies if there is an alternative built-in to QuickTime, like DV for example. Just check the box, don’t leave it to chance.

Automatic Duck makes no solutions for M100 users, sorry.

The 2GB limit you’re hitting is a result of the Avid not allowing you to have a single media file that exceeds 2GB. When you capture from tape into an Avid the Avid is able to string together multiple 2GB media files seamlessly in the background, but when you Import it cannot, so you are more likely to hit the single-file-2GB limit. What you’re seeing isn’t an OS thing, it is an Avid thing.

You could use an adjustment layer, I’ve done that before when needing to effect several layers at once.
