Hello Everyone, this is my very first post.
I have done some editing in the past with final cut pro 5.1 and I just upgraded to final cut studio 3, which includes FCP 7.
I also picked up a new Imac i7 4gb RAM.
My setup is the following.
Firewire 800 Mybook set up as my scratch disk and storage.
Capture Samsung HMX-s16 1920x1080 1080 30p
Final Cut Pro 7
My Problem is the following
I imported all the files into fcp and set my sequence to 422 (LT)
Once i drop the files i have to render, which takes long time; I understand it needs to do so to convert the files to 422(LT). What i dont understand is why it takes SO long to render even the smallest transitions. The render is set to 50% quality and rgb only.
I just spent a lot of money for this new setup and I really thought it was going to be somewhat fast.
My thoughts
Firewire is the bottle neck
Need more RAM
Some of my settings are way off
I thank everyone that will give me some info and help. It will be greatly appreciated.
