I just had to write again. I am just starting in the video editing game. I have been attempting to learn FCP. We have the following system: B W G-3, 350; Sony DSR-20 DV Deck, connected to the CPU via firewire; FCP; an external RAID system by RAIDTEC, RAID 5, that has 101 gigabytes of useable memory, connected to the CPU via an Adaptec 2940 U2W SCSI card (the RAIDTEC has its own hardware controller, but the mounting was done via FWB Tool Kit); internal 6 gigabyte and 8 gigabyte drive for administrative purposes. I had imported media a few months ago into FCP from our deck; that we shot on an Aaton Super 16 mm, indoors on a stage, using Kodak vision 500 film, that was telecined to BetaSP, and then transferred via a Sony DSR-80 to DVCAM; and it looked fine.
