Hi, I've been looking in to elance.com, etc as a way to get more gigs editing to build my portfolio so I can get more local and legit jobs from bigger clients. I notice theres tons of editing jobs on there and I'm just wondering how one would go about getting all the files and sending them...

Part 1 When you say "compress" do you mean transcode? As in convert the clips that came out of your 5D (h.264) to ProRes 422? You can theoretically drop h.264 clips into final cut but its a nightmare to edit. Definitely transcode to ProRes using Compressor first before you import your clips...

So i just got an OWLE Bubo for my iPhone 4 and have been taking a lot of video lately that I wanted to start editing. I've figured out that I needed to transcode the H.264 video the iPhone 4 produces to something edit-friendly like ProRes 442. I've done this in Compressor and its all gone fine...

Can u transfer education versions though?

Is there a way I can sell my copy of Avid Xpress Pro? I have everything originally in the box, dongle, cd etc. but its an academic version. I guess its "in my name" or something, can I put it on craiglists or ebay or something or will it not work for someone who buys it? I originally bought it...

I recently worked on a TV show in which they were somewhat seeerious about confidentiality and had to sign a confidentiality agreement. I understand that the show would be ruined if the results were to come out before it airs, which makes sense. The question I have though, is am I allowed to...

NICE. Thank you.

I worked as a PA on an pretty legit (but indie) movie over this past summer and now its in post production. Previously to that I had tried to get a PA job at a big production company but they seemed to want people with real experience so now that I have that movie and having worked on a widely...

wow, good knowledge, thanks. looking into those right now. what about the JVC GZ-HD3...? I've found some pretty good deals for that one locally and online...im pretty sure, judging by the picture link below, you can hook up a 35mm adapter to it no problem as well...

yeah i was looking for like less than half those prices then put the 35mm on there and it would be decent...originally i had planned to get something more expensive than that but i just cant seem to save that kind of dough without something coming up and foiling my saving plans...sick of...

birthday is coming up and i want to get my own camera. cheaper the better...basically whats my cheapest decent option that is possible to use a 35mm adapter with? cheap is the key word here... suggestions please!

how exactly do you go about converting the footage if you wanted to use it in final cut pro? when you connect the camera to your computer does the hard drive come up on the desktop like any other external hard drive would or something like that? thanks

yeah well im basically stuck in a Avid editing class until the end of the semester and that takes up a lot of space with all the various crap it has planted all over my computer....every nook and cranny there is some random avid related folder that i have no idea what its for...so once i can...

it say color is like 120mb or soemthing so i dont see the point leaving it out... im just going to install motion and sountrack pro without extras....then hopefully order a decent external drive and install it on that when i get it...shouldnt have any issues right? just pop the disk back in...

well, i got my student discount pricing on final cut studio 2 today and its pretty sweet looking (and heavy!) and i went to install it on my MBP (120gb hd) and there is not enough room to install all the stuff...? its like 59GB or something...i have like 47 available...is it wise to not install...

drives dont cost too much...so if it did somehow break it owuldnt cost much to get it replaced...unless say its a macbook pro drive or soemthing which would require some looking in to... u could always get one of those usb dvd burners.....made specifically to burn things...if it were to...

i take some online classes at my film school and there is people from all over the world in those classes...so id guess you would be able to. i go to the academy of art university in san francisco.

i have a macbook pro and a 23" cinema display, new apple wireless keyboard and mouse....heck...even got an iphone actually hahah..... anyway...gotta say as for the computer...its the best thing ive ever bought....id attach a picture of the setup but i dont see how you can unless its a link....?

well i dono botu the old ones but id think if it said for example "final cut pro 3 - upgrade" you could upgrade from FCP2 with it...etc... FCP4 could be a stand alone....as long as its not the upgrade version...which is just that...an upgrade...not a full version.

well....there is only one version of final cut...it comes in the final cut studio 2 package. it basically an all-in-one type of thing. probably the most widely used non linear computer editing system in the world is the Avid system... then there is other ones like adobe premiere and i think...
