Re: Record limit / HDMI output?

Yes - it's the tax situation that's the source of the 30-minute limit.

Re: Apple App Upgrade: Customer not always right???

A couple of thoughts on FCPX and Apple pricing.

First - most of the resistance to buying FCPX on launch was based, as far as I could see, on two arguments: "I don't have time to learn a totally...

Re: XHA1 hard drive

I use the Datavideo DN-60 (CompactFlash rather than hard drive); you can record to tape and CF simultaneously - in fact, it's slightly slicker that way with the DN-60 than to CF-only.

I went this...

Re: Event within an event?

+1 for keywords - as I see things, that's the FCPX way of handling organisation within the Event model. Iy also has the advantages that you aren't actually moving files around, so if you want to...

Re: GF3 Record Limit ???

It is, indeed an EU thing - it's because the duties are higher on video cameras than on stills cameras. So if you limit the video duration, you can pretend it's a stills camera.

Re: New Mac choice for FCPX?

Re: MTS file conversion and sys resources question

If it helps, I have a late 2007 MacBook Pro with 4GB and it'll handle this kind of conversion - it's not very quick, but that's only to be expected. As to how, I use a combination of Clipwrap and...

Re: New Mac choice for FCPX?

There's a negative spiral in play here - as iMacs get more powerful, they start to take some of the sales that, in earlier times, would have gone to Mac Pros. Mac Pro market shrinks, sales (and thus...

Re: Craig: You're correct. (I'm just resisting)

Just to pick up this one point: Apple's retail stores aren't only about image - they're financially extremely successful (over $1Bn in margin in the last reported quarter, which was about 10% of...

Re: moving FCP X project/event locations

It's more about the fact that FCPX project files contain location info for the event files (and any other files that might be references, like still image files). As others have said, it is ppssible...

Re: New Mac choice for FCPX?

I've just bought a 27" iMac with the 6970 1GB graphics card and upgraded the memeory to 12GB and FCPX works very smoothly indeed.

Re: Where best to read about the hacks?

Re: FCPX & Thunderbolt

Moving the application itself is tricky, but you can make the Thunderbolt drive your location for all the work files, which will make a big difference

Re: Canon FD lenses on GH2

Can't speak for the 1.2, but I got a 1.4 for $80 plus shipping, and I wouldn't go a lot higher than that. They're pricier than they were, simply because they've become quite fashionable for M43
