Is it possible to add a camera to a multiclip AFTER the multiclip is created? Our client has given us another camera angle after the fact.

I am editing a multicam program where cameras are HD (1920x1080) and HDV (1440x1080). In FCP7 I would just upscale the HDV to 133 and change the Distort parameter to -33.33 to match the HD sequence. Is there an equivelent in FCPX? Obviously I can scale up but I don't see the "Distort"...

We have a client from Europe (we are in US) that will be shooting a multicam project that we will be editing. We will be delivering on Blu-Ray and DVD for replication. Are there any issues with FCPX editing with footage in 1080p/50...as well as 1080p 25? This will be a concert and we will be...

We upgraded to Mountain Lion and now it seems that the OS is reading the PRIVATE folder differently from our camera SD cards (and all other projects). Anyone have any idea how to import AVCHD footage into FCPX? Seems like a nonsensicle change since everything imported perfectly before.

I know this is more editing but I figured some of you guys must be editing on FCPX. We upgraded to Mountain Lion and are now not able to import our footage into FCPX. Looks like the OS is reading the PRIVATE folder differently. Any ideas?

We are putting together a spot where the bulk of the visuals are pictures that we animate to move up the screen. (See link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rP864wBR80 The issue I'm having is the edges that jitter as the pictures move up. Typically I'd add an edge blur but the frame we are using...

After much consideration we finally moved over to FCPX and are actually enjoying the transition more than I expected. One thing I'm trying to look for is a process for backing up projects on two drives, not archiving after it's done, but I always want a backup in case a drive fails. Right now...

We produced a documentary for a client and it turns out the name of the project is the same as another film out there. Client is concerned but I'm not sure she has to be. Subject matter is entirely different and both projects are completely independent of each other and have no similarity. Can...

We've been using the Panny Gold SDHC cards in our AF-100 (two 16GB cards). We got the camera when it first came out and have been using the cards ever since. Our editor saw a glitch in one frame of a shoot we did recently. I can't confirm if this was just the trascoded file in FCP or if it was...

I have some shots where we need to hear the inner dialogue of a character. We got the voice track in from the sound studio but I need to effect it so that it sounds like we are hearing his "inner voice"....hearing his thoughts, you know the effect. I've been tinkering with the audio filters in...

I have rented a Ki-Pro for an upcoming shoot and all testing has gone well. The unit is pretty straightforward. One thing I can't seem to work out is how to record to the Ki-Pro by hitting the cameras record button versus the record button on the Ki-Pro. I have SD cards in camera, Ki-Pro is...

We have a project where we have a lot of footage that we need to get to the client for reference. Typically I just add the Timecode Reader (not generator) filter in FCP, render (yes a long time) and then compress and burn a dvd. Because of the amount of footage we have for this, one dvd is...

Does the Firestore FS-100 work as an external recorder to the AF100?

We are into day 1 of a 4 day shoot for a dramatic piece we are producing for a client. Everyone is really happy with how the AF100 is performing...a great little camera! This is shot mostly with the Voigtlander .095 25mm and some of the 14-140 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXkkRCOGsek

Anyone using the (Kessler) Phillip Bloom Pocket Dolly with the AF100? Strongly considering it but was looking for feedback. We have a traditional dolly/track setup but can be too time consuming to set up for some shoots. Sometimes all you need a little movement and it seems the Pocket Dolly...

Ok since the new version of FCPX looks like it's finally ready for prime time we are more seriously considering it. I have been holding off on buying a new Mac Pro Tower to see if/when Apple was going to release a new version. Looks like not (tell me if I'm wrong). I'm becoming more interested...

For the life of me I can't figure out why text looks good in AE but when rendered out looks bad in FCP. I have a Apple Pros Res LT sequence. AE file gets rendered out in Animation Codec then FCP renders to Pro Res LT. Looks bad. File looks perfect played in quicktime. If I open a new sequence...

I can't figure out what's going on here. I have a 1920x1080 timeline in FCP, Apple Pro Res Codec. Create text graphics in AE....render them out in Animation Codec (I tried Pro Res too with same results). I bring text into FCP and it looks bad. If I play the file in Quicktime, it looks great...

It's time to upgrade one of our systems, currently running on a 2006 Mac Pro Duo Core 2.66ghz. I'm leaning more towards the Mac Pro Tower 8-Core with 12 Gigs of RAM. What I wanted to ask here...is there a dramatic difference with the 12-core versus 8-Core? I know the answer should be a simple...

I have an aerial shoot coming up and was just looking to see if anyone has done much aerial shooting with the AF100. I have the Lumix 14-140, the Voightlander 0.95 35mm, and a Canon 50mm. I will be using a gyro stabilizer but as for the lens, I figured I'd use the 14-140 (widest FL I have)...
