Howdy, I just shot a project for another shooter that setup his FS-100 to capture from the HDX900. The shoot was 720/30p and the Firestore was configured to capture quicktime files (not native).
The producer (who is also editing the project) is new to the firestore (as am I). Producer is not excited about having the clips in 1.9gig chunks, which is how they are organized on the firestore. He wants each clip to end when I stop recording so that he has each individual shot separated out.
How do you do this? Is it possible to organize the media in Final Cut after we've shot already. Can you do it in the firestore before outputting the material to another hard drive? Is the metadata there to separate the footage out, if recorded in quicktime format?
Finally, what is the preferred Firestore recording setting: quicktime or p2? What is the advantage of either and what is the advantage (or disadvantages) of using the PN settings of quicktime or P2?
The producer doesn't want to dump all the 1.9gig clips into a sequence and trim from there. He wants all the shots separated, instead.
