Editing questions

I too would vote for unlocking. I don't think it is worth a menu mod but let's see what others think. Dan, is it worth setting up a poll as Jeff suggests?

Dear Friends,

We will be discucsing this internally shortly.

Our goal was never to make it hard, just to prevent the files from being accidentally deleted.

Dear Friends,

We have discussed the "Locking Issue" internally.

We will, in a our firmware release, be creating "Unlocked" files.

Our goal is to promote the Second Public Beta to "For Production Use" status as soon as possible.

As such, we will not be changing this 1.5.126 to add this change, but we will adding it in our code so that the next build will have the updated code.

Like Jeff, I also used a firestore. I thought this was a very easy box to work with. The files were unlocked, you could easily move them around or delete them or whatever.

Again, with a nexto it is impossible to clear the lock on a Mac.

Dan,

Thanks for kicking this around so quickly and suggesting this solution. It will give others time to weigh in, if need be. I can't see a downside in the Mac world.

Thanks!

And...

Correct me if I'm wrong:

I notice that when I drag nanoFlash files into a Final Cut Pro sequence, the 2 audio channels are NOT linked. If I want to make audio level changes in a stereo pair, I have to link them together first by selecting them and typing "Option-L." I don't think that I had to do this with my old FireStore clips. Or am I mistaken? Is linking the stereo pair something that the nanoFlash can do?

Check me, guys!

Jeff

Dear Jeff,

What firmware version are you using?

Jeff DePonte · March 31st, 2010, 06:40 AM

1.1.154

Jeff

Dan Keaton · March 31st, 2010, 06:47 AM

Dear Jeff,

We have made substantial changes to the audio subsystem.

Could you please try our "Second Public Beta", 1.5.126?

Glad to see this discussion. I have an XL H1 & FCS3 and I'm considering a DTE solution. For those using the nF and FCP, is this a fairly simple way of going about it?

Bob Griffiths · March 31st, 2010, 09:30 AM

Essentially, it's a snap. Once you transfer the nano files onto your edit drives, open a project and just import into FCP, or drag-n-drop into a project. Then drop them into a TL with settings that match your shoot format... and you're good to go.

James Downie · March 31st, 2010, 11:10 AM

Thanks, Bob.

I just noticed that all the nano files I imported into FCP have a Reel name of "Flash XDR". ;-)
