    Hey! Anyone going to the Indie Gathering?

    What's the Indie Gathering and where's it at?

    Making this harder than it is! Audio Question...

    I'm not at my Mac right now but what I think you want to do is either Apple-L or Alt-L... it links the two channels together. Just highlight the two clips you want to link. As for your audio question I would edit first then import the audio into Soundtrack Pro where you can Normalize it. That...

    archived-videos World Is Waiting Trailer

    I agree with your statement Spatula. My project is looking at online relationships vs in person relationships, the psyche of this abused woman and why she has secluded herself. A lot of mind games. If everything goes according to plan it should be good. As for your comment Knightly I agree...

    What's wrong with character pieces? You're talking about my next flick dude! ;) A dramatic thriller about a woman who has isolated herself in her home.

    Dead in the Water Final Cover

    One of the comps they sent me was a spitting image of the Evil Dead cover. I'm glad they went with this one though because it's more unique.

    Dead in the Water Final Cover

    As I've mentioned previously my first feature film, DEAD IN THE WATER, was acquired for N. American distribution by Indican Pictures. Even though the release date has been pushed back to Sept. 25 from Aug. 7 (they wanted a release date closer to Halloween) I wanted to share with your the cover...

    Final Cut Studio 2 question

    That MIGHT be your problem. USB, when it comes to video, has a harder time keeping up to firewire.

    Is there any advance for films picked up?

    Final Cut Studio 2 question

    First off, I don't think you can install FCP on any other drive besides the Macintosh HD. Try it... I think you'll get a red exclamation point decrying your efforts. Second of all, never never never install FCP on the same drive you'll be capturing too. It will bog down your resources and...

    FCP, dropped frames and timecode errors......

    Everything you've instructed her to do is good advice though I doubt you need me to tell you that. :) Even though she has one FW port she should be able to hook the camera up through the external firewire drive since most have an extra port or two. Granted, you generally don't want to have...

    FCP, dropped frames and timecode errors......

    You can find the hard drive information under System Profiler which is located in the Utilities folder. I don't know what type of drives are in the system you have (IDE, ATA, SATA, etc.) but whatever it is you can click on whatever type you have and it will have you the manufacturer, model...

    FCP, dropped frames and timecode errors......

    Same if it's a 5400RPM drive. Minimum you want is 7200. [ADDED] This just occurred to me. If you're like a lot of Mac users you have music on your computer through iTunes. How much hard drive space do you have left on your main HD? A good rule to follow is keep 15%-20% of your drive free so...

    FCP, dropped frames and timecode errors......

    I registered and use iDefrag and I've never had a problem with it. But every computer behaves differently, doesn't it? :) If you're nervous about it I would recommend getting an account with Mozy (mozy.com) where you can back up important files/directories to their server. It's free for 2GB...

    You have a G4 so your processor is a PowerPC. You can use that update safely. iDefrag can be found at http://coriolis-systems.com/iDefrag.php

    FCP, dropped frames and timecode errors......

    Where are you capturing the footage to? The internal HD? If you're doing that I would recommend picking up an external firewire drive. It's not good to capture onto the same drive where the app is run. It slows things down. Did you upgrade the OS recently? I know OS X 10.4.10 just came...

    FCP, dropped frames and timecode errors......

    What computer do you have FCP on? (iMac? MacBook Pro? PowerMac? Mac Pro?) What capture device are you using? (Camera? Deck?) How do you have that capture device hooked up? (Is it going into a firewire drive which in turn is plugged into the computer or is each plugged into the computer...

    Insurance & Liability

    I don't have a list of insurance companies but two types of insurance you'll want. I'm sure you're familiar with Production Insurance but another form of insurance you'll want is E&O Insurance (Errors and Omissions). If you do a search online you'll find a lot of insurance companies that offer...
