Re: @Robert Wentz

I think you made a big argument here about sticking with FCP. And sticking with workflows that work. FCP 7 does everything you currently need, despite it's age. Yes, you have to convert to a single format and frame rate, but we are used to that, no?

But I see the need/want to move forward and deal with the multiple frame rates and formats. But this just goes to show that when pushing forward with new tools and workflows, one must ALWAYS TEST your planned workflow, before you paint yourself into a corner. I know that many pressures out there exist that will say "we don't have time to test...we need to push forward!" Well, not testing before leads to...what Walter just described. I've always been one to test...after one disaster that cost the company I was at a couple hundred grand. Another company didn't test...despite my insisting that we do, and guess what? Issues cropped up in the end that bit us in the behind.

ALWAYS test.
