New Workflow from HD-SR/Raid/Portable Drive/FCP_offline/email/online ???

hey-
The office has recently purchased the first Final Cut System and I want to run the workflow idea past some people to see if I'm overlooking anything. The system is intended to be an intermediate not an editor.
Our goal is to recieve the tapes. (HD-SR/HDCAM/D-Beta)
Capture to our FCP Scratch at an offline resolution
Copy from our Raid to the client's hard drive.
They Create a Project with settings relevent to format.
Email us the Project File, Upon opening connect media to Full Resolution files from which we can lay back, or format for Discreet Smoke of Nitrus DS
Does anything in there not work? I think it's good but my only concern is with the project file. Is that all we will need to create the online?- We will have the tapes to recapture from...
Any Help is greatly appreciated. Feel free to email. [email protected]
Thanks,
Mike
iMac Intel   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

We do similar projects here with our HDCAM system. What I do for our external editors it pretty much your workflow.
1. Create FCP Project called " 'Your Show' DV"
2. Log and capture footage using Dconv HDCAM to DV
3. I use MEDIA MANAGER to copy show to an external FW drive along with FCP project file and I keep the copy of the show and media for a visual reference later.
4. Editor edits offsite and brings back FW drive.
5. I open his new project and reconnect media to make sure all is well.
6. I use MEDIA MANAGER on his Sequence and do an OFFLINE making the setting 1080i HD and deleting unused media.
6. Rename the new project file as " 'Your Show' HD"
7. Then I batch capture at 1080I settings and get a recompressed show in HD with only needed media capture at hi-res.
Hope that helps

  • How to export photos from iphoto'11 to portable drive for download?

    I have 2 macs in different locations and a 500gb portable drive. I am about to leave one location for the second location and want to take my photos from iPhoto with me on my portable drive.
    What is the best way to do this? I do have time capsule on the 1st iMac.
    I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 for editing on my iMac. I have a backup catalog Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 and the folder 'my pictures' from my PC (on way to recycle - at last) on the portable drive.
    I am not currently using organizer from Adobe Photoshop 9 -but using events from iPhoto.

    Depends on what you want
    If your want your iPhoto library then drag it to the external drive - in the new location depress the option key and launch iPhoto and use the select library command to choose the library you want - the local one or the one on the EHD
    If you want to merge them then use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - to merge the library on the EHD with the local library
    If you want just the photos then select them and export them to the external drive and import them into the other library
    Explain exactly what you want if none of these help

  • How do I move my movies from iTunes to a portable drive in oder to free up disk space?

    I have less than 10% of disk space free and often receive a message that my strat up disk is nearly full.  I therefore want to free up space by moving my movies to a portable drive.  How?  I want to keep the movies on my iPad, though.

    Delete them from the local computer.  Nothing gets moved.  If the content was purchased from iTunes it should be available for download again in the future.

    If the device is synced with iTunes on the computer and the content is deleted from iTunes it will also be removed from the device.
    Realistically, if you want to keep the content, keep it stored locally.  Purchase an external drive to store the content on.  Keep in mind that iOS devices are NOT backup devices, they merely mirror the content in the iTunes library on the computer.

  • Imac g5 ALS will not boot from internal HD or portable drive or eject disc

    I cannot get my g5 ambient light sensor Imac to boot from the internal hard drive or a portable drive. I have tried multiple keystroke combinations (c + power on, option + power on, and others) upon startup and all get the same response: the computer powers on and the screen displays the apple logo. after a minute or two, the screen darkens, and a multilingual message appears telling me that I need to restart the computer. I cannot get far enough to start from a different drive or a system software disk. I cannot eject the disc currently in the drive. I cannot run any diagnostic software, cannot reinstall system software or put another disc in the drive. obviously, I am experiencing hard drive problems, but I cannot seem to get past this frustrating stumbling block. any troubleshooting or problem solving would be greatly appreciated. I have checked other discussions and support forums, but cannot find any that reference the specifics that I have mentioned. I have researched and tried the logic board check and many other potential "solutions", but none of the discussions mention the gray screen "you must restart your computer" message that I continually receive.

    What you are experiencing is called a Kernel Panic.
    First, to get the disc out of the drive, hold the mouse button down as you reboot.
    Have you tried resetting the SMU?
    1. Turn off the computer by choosing Shut Down from the Apple menu, or by holding the power button until the computer turns off.
    2. Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord.
    3. Wait 10 seconds.
    4. Plug in the power cord while simultaneously pressing and holding the power button on the back of the computer.
    5. Let go of the power button.
    6. Press the power button once more to start up your iMac.
    Then try booting from your install disc and running Disk Utility:
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.

  • How to prevent OSX from appending numbers to portable drive

    Hi All,
    I have a very annoying problem regarding portable usb drives, OSX and drive labels.
    Sometimes when I disconnect my portable usb drive and reconnect it, OSX adds a number (or increments the old one) to the end of the portable usb drive label.
    Is there anyway to prevent/disable this?
    Mira

    When that happens to me, I do a system shutdown, or restart, instead of a Force Eject.
    Reason being -- there is something not right, possibly some file still open.

  • How do I download from a portable drive to my new computer?

    My hard drive crashed. The geek squad was able to copy the info (including my photoshop elements 3.0 pictures) onto a new portable Hard Drive. I bought a new PC.I have hooked up the portable drive to my new pc, and installed Elements 3.0 on the new PC. How do I get my old photos off the portable Hard Drive and into Photoshop Elements organizer on my new computer? I seemed to find the catalogue, but it seemed to have problems finding links to the old  photos.
    Thanks

    That's great that Geek Squad found your catalog. I am surprised (in a good way).
    Regarding the photos ... the catalog will recognize them if they are in the exact same folders and have the exact same file names as before. Hopefully, this is a simple move of whole folders from one location (the portable drive) to your new computer. If you don't remember exactly where they were before, go into the PSE Catalog, right-click on any photo, and select Show Properties to display the previous location.
    As a last resort, you can try File->Reconnect but this may be very tedious.

    This freezing reminds me of really old Macs, long ago, in the days of the old-school peripherals like SCSI drives, terminators, scanners and the like. If you had a SCSI conflict, like the wrong device ID's or something, you'd freeze up like that. Back in those days you'd call 800-SOS-APPLE (AAPL?) and they'd run you through disconnecting all your extra hardware - Jaz and Zip drives, CD burners, scanners etc and then eliminate them one by one by adding them incrementally and testing for the freeze/bomb dialog.
    But, today we have Firewire and none of those ancient issues (no free lifetime tech support either). My iMac's ports are all full, and I only know which devices are connected when I have to remove something for another device. iSight, scanner, card reader, external hard drive, USB soundsticks, etc. You wouldn't happen to have any SCSI devices hooked up, would you?
    Out of curiosity, have you tried a different USB/Firewire port for the hard drive? Or run the hardware test DVD that comes with your computer? This weird freezing seems to suggest a problem with the computer, RAM or network more than a device. Bad devices, in my experience, cause kernel panics, not freezing.

  • Boot from external raid hard drive in new iMac 2012

    Just owned iMac 2012 21.5", but seemed internal drive is pretty slower than my previous iMac 2008.  Planning to buy external raid hard drive like Lacie 2big Raid or G-Tech 4tb G-Raid (Thunderbolt) to be my main boot drive instead of internal one.  Would this would solve the problem?

    If your new Late 2012  21.5" iMac was Not ordered with the Fusion Drive option, then it came with a much slower standard 5400 rpm hard drive.  Your 2008 iMac had a 7200 rpm hard drive.  That's why this one is slower. 

  • New computer, itunes backed up on portable hard drive,  how to transfer?

    I have just received a new laptop. I connected my portable hard drive on which i had backed up my itunes library from my old pc. On the new computer i used the "add folder to library" function in itunes. All the songs from my hard drive appear in the iTunes library on my new laptop, but when i try to play the songs, iTunes asks me to locate each individual song file on my portable hard drive. i have tried using the consolidate library function but this hasn't done anything. I don't want to have to "locate file" for each of the thousands of tracks i have stored on my portable hard drive.

  • If I backed up my files on external portable drive using time machine - I bought a new I-Mac - can I upload my music and photos .

    Can I install mympictures and music that were back up using time machine from my McBook into my new i-Mac - the back up is on a portable drive.

    Hello:
    There should be no problem - although I have never done what you describe.  Attach the drive to your new computer. open Time Machine, and retrive what you wish.

  • Yesterday I moved a folder from my portable drive to the desktop of a computer called B3. The folder

    Yesterday I moved a folder from my portable drive to the desktop of a computer called B3. The folder contained four tiff files and 16 PSD image files that I had been Photoshoping for two weeks. I dragged the folder into bridge for a quick look. Most of the fliles had been processed in Lightroom 4. When I opened the first image in PS all of the layers were gone and the image looked like it had never had anything done to it. All of the PSD images opened with the same result, no layers, weeks of work gone. I took the portable drive and plugged it into my labtop. All of the layers were there. What happened? there was no older version of the file on the drive.

    Actually that would not have had any impact. When I processed the files in Lightroom there was a software glitch and they would not open as PSD 's inPs they appeared as raw files in PS. Yes I know how to set preferences. Ok to get around that one I exported my files as PSD into a folder. After I always opened them from the folder so I don't see how the XMP files could be an issue. Also remember for two weeks I had been working using the same procedure with out any trouble@bdentonphoto: RT @Patrick_Baz: @patrickwitty: Brutal, important frontpage of the @guardiannews, heartbreaking photo from the massacre in Houla, #Syria http://t.co/7411qhUf
