My nephew produces a lot of major commercials and he's a big Final Cut Pro user for them. He uses Avid for some movies where Final Cut Pro doesn't have necessary functionality, but even for most movies it's sufficient. They used to take the P2 cards from the Panasonic studio cameras and stick them directly into the Mac Books and start editing on-site, until Apple dropped the CardBus slot from the Macs. Finally, in June, Panasonic will have a USB reader for P2 cards (AJ-PCD2), but for some reason such a device was very difficult to produce, and it's ridiculously expensive.

Some studios do pretty much the same thing only with hard drives pulled from a Red camera. The drive is copied into the server (that has something like 42 TB on line), and then go to work on the FCP workstations. Pretty impressive to see it all go. -- John Higdon +1 408 ANdrews 6-4400 AT&T-Free At Last
