Re: How do you set up FPC to capture using the Sheer Video codecs?

I beg to differ. There isn't a real manual for using the software with final cut pro, it's a generic one for anything mac. I'm still trying to figure out what codec out of the many that they supplied could be the proper one for my JVC HD100 camera and BRHD-50 deck with material shot at 24p. The one I tried to use told me that my capture size would be 250 gigs for less than an hour of HDV. At that size, I'm better off with the ProRes codec. It won't be cross platform but I can at least get more than a hour on my external drive.

Regarding the Sheer software publishers support, they need to make it simple (spelling out what codec we might need for specific applications) and they need to make is specific (a real manual for Final Cut Pro users or Premier users, not just a generic one for Mac or PC applications.)

Rather than listing what the meanings are of the "keys" of the individual presets are (it's like deciphering hieroglyphs), why not just give us a clue to the proper one to use for our specific needs (i.e. use codec "so and so" when editing HDV 720p 24fps). That's what dolts like me need.

If you want to see real support, look at the Aja website. Everything is spelled out in plain terms, even for idiots like me.
