Eleven In HD

Well this is a technical post not a highbrow philosophowhatical (is that how you spell it?)one that OJ is akin to writing on his own blog..Yes as well as writing on here he does also write on his blog..why because he’s special and has two blogs…the show one and his own (which isn’t bad by the way)..

Anyhow that’s not what this post was about..its about Editing in Final Cut Pro in HDV..it’s a massively slow process..any effects and well you’ve got time to go Cornwall have a quick surf and still get back in time to watch the last ten minutes of rendering..

Why are we editing in HDV (it is only an online show after all) because Itunes and various other outlets are screaming for HD content.. We’ve done three shows so far in HD , its taken literally three times as long to edit each..and the total views and downloads for our HD shows has been…wait for it…18 people..Great, super, er no..so looking at ditching the HD version due to the time involved..

So why am I writing here..in case anyone who may stumble upon this little blog might know a really good way to edit in HD in Final Cut Pro, quickly!!..we’ve got some pretty fast machines all specked out ..so not sure if its a hardware issue why they are so slow..

I know this may sound like a lazy man’s way to get technical help..and there are quite a few articles on the net on the subject ..but most are confusing go off on loads of tangents etc etc..

So anyone with some quick fire advice please do drop us a comment or line..

Anyhow back to editing the next show which is on Landboarding, yup OJ got to fly some power kites (like the Ozone Frenzy) in Richmond Park …don’t expect big air and gnarly tricks though..the wind was light and OJ is Big..but he did face plant it!
