    DVD settings in Final cut pro?

    Hey. If you use the basic DV - Pal setting in FCP you´ll be just fine. It all depend on how big your project is. There are some simple pre-setts in compressor, if that´s what your using. There you can also modify your compression to fit your needs.

    Euro Markets

    Hey. I know little (well, nothing really) about fance and italy. I myself live in Sweden, and I must say. To break in into the Swedish market is pretty hard. But it also depend on who you are. If you done some work in the states (have a reel), speaks the languge and have the papers you need, you...

    Importing video from DVDs into Final Cut Pro?

    A good why to get the both out is to use a rip program. Over all vob files are a pain to handle, so I would convert them to QT files. I never really do stuff like this myself, but I think mac the ripper should do the trick. Good luck

    External Hard Drive + FCP

    To use an external drive is great in many ways. But you CAN use a internal drive just as well. (But some work in and it will be better then firewire). Filmosity is right in terms of not working from the same disc that your system is on. Instead you can have as many as 4 hard drives in many PM...

    EXPORT UNCOMPRESS from Final Cut to AE and return to FCP

    Your problem is that you work offline. You will never get good quality when you export from offline. If you want to keep working offline you shuold do it in AE as well. Dodo

    Does a student really need his/her own camera?

    I´m with MarkG. The question is not so simple. When I was in school, I diden´t have one, but a classmate had one. He diden´t use much. On the other hand he also had a G4 (this was a few years ago) that he used on almost daily. On the other side if your school has very few cameras, then you can...

    Music in film

    I think you are almost right temerson. From what I know about the USA laws (the same gose for a big part of the world), most of what you said is correct. But a few things are missing. Here the A´s Dodo style. All music right are basiclly split in two. The rights to the song itself and the...

    musiv video: set design....creating the illusion

    You can always go old school. shake the camera. If you want to get a bit more high tech, you can put a solid color all around the cube and take it out in post. Then fix a background and just digitally shake the cube. Not the best way, but it shuold be cheap.

    A More Clever Way.

    My opinion (the key word here is "opinion") is that, may times narration is over used or used to clearify things that doesen´t need it. As I see it, narration is best used when the story is told from the narrators point of view. This dosen´t mean that the narrator can´t be the main character...
