Any more, we're all mostly "online" editors. Mostly gone are the days where an edit is "offlined" then "onlined" by a specialist. Maybe my definition of this is different from your's, but pretty much I'd guess that well over 90% of the work is finish | | | | |

The TV Logic and the FSI use the same panels, but FSI is cheaper..and looks as good, IMHO.

Mini DV is absolutely not uncompressed, and if your source is DVCPRO HD, then Mini DV is not the way to archive it. Since you shot DVCPRO HD, you could put it out to DVCPRO HD, though for archival purposes D5 or HDCAM SR are the highest quality tape | | | | |

Thank you for your advice. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who has seen this...

Thanks for the response. It was Digital Service Station, which I gather is a division of Alpha Dogs, that I was trying to find. Although now that everyone else has mentioned these other places I guess I'll shop around.Herb Sevush

You are right that Pro Export FCP does not support 24fps, though some users (I'm looking at you Alpha Dogs!) say that it "just works" when capturing 24fps in Symphony Nitris. Alas, we don't yet support this.
