Hi Jimmy, I appreciate the effort. This is very simple. I have a FCP 3 project file. It's like one Mb. I need someone to import it into FCP 7. Then export a XML. Anyone?

Whoops, forgot to turn notifications on.... thanks Anaconda and Ben. Apologies, I should have mentioned it but... I don't have and can't run run FCP 7 on this Macbook Pro. Anyone?

Hiya folks, Curious if someone here can convert an old FCP 3 project file into a PPro XML for me? I'm thinking the route is: Open project file in FCP 7 and then export and XML file. Then, if possible, using something like 7toX, bring that XML file forward to FCPX or HOPEFULLY PPro! Anyone firmly sitting here today, with one strong anchor in the past? Mucho apreciado

Haven't been keeping up with your Vlog amigo but my offer still stands on the brothel... and bring that 8mm as the rooms in Bangladesh a very very small

I'm able to keep my hand in close to the fire by hunting down masterclass talks (mostly from festival screenings) from folks I admire, though they are often few and far between. But I'll certainly give your links a go. Thanks Parker 😎 Although it's more about the process of making a doc films, here is a fantastic free talk by a wonderful filmmaker (and his cinematographer) who left the world a few years ago doing what he loved best: https://americas.dafilms.com/film/8411-planete-doc-film-festival-presents-masterclass-michael-glawogger Warning, these are Europeans (Austrians), where nothing said is "amazing" or 'awesome" and nobody 'flies in' another light. The uncomfortable comedy comes with the Polish moderator quickly arriving the losing end of his insight and intellect. Beer is drank, references to ass fucking, creative approach, etc.

Can't say I know his work but vintage gear (as we know) certainly has its place in influencing look and feel... and if that contributes to story, then it's a job well done. And if I see a tall man with a very long beard walking around the world with a F23/ F900R on a reinforced self stick... I'll be sure to stop what I'm doing and take you to the nearest brothel

Oh shit. Apologies folks. I didn't mean to say that I'm Mike Krumlauf, only that I found this clip after capturing a bunch of material from my PD150. Mike certainly makes great use of his material.

I tried to get through an episode last night and to be honest, it gave me a head ache... which may be indicative that the 'industry' may no longer be a place for me. I mean, I get it that Wandering DP needs/ wants to put a whole lot of 'passion' into his talks, but it just seemed a little too much with the manner and type of language used to express everything. Is there anyone else who couldn't get into his talks? On the other side, if this guy had a regular podcast, I'd be right there:

I just captured ALL of my 1993 Hitachi VM-H38A (SD Hi8) AND Sony 2003 PD-150 (SD DV)material to a hard drive. The footage was from 2 epic journeys I did in Asia. Quite incredible how far things have come in camera tech... but so good to finally see these old moments from my travels and sonic youth! I've now put the Sony PD-150 (which I haven't shot with since 2007) up for sale. However, I just watched this clip and I have to say that - maybe I'm feeling a little nostalgic here but - I'm now a little reluctant to part with it though I know I'll probably never fire it up again. But I'm curios, can anyone suggest a reason why I wouldn't want to sell it? I might be willing to trade the camera if I can go back to 1999

Sanveer bhai, while I can appreciate that you taken the time to express yourself in the form of a rebuttal in defence of your country, I would encourage you to leave aside your accusation that I'm 'conveniently trying to blame everyone else but the country that started this all' as nowhere in any of my writings have I done this. Except for the bat fuckers. Btw, I love our India more than you can possibly imagine, and was only echoing what the 'world' already knows through India's almost entirely corrupt news media. 'Goebbels' would certainly be proud of what the BJP (India's current government) and the RSS are doing. Can you say fascism? I suggest we drop this before someone gets... emotional.

I couldn't find it in the article but it sounds like cooking the meat doesn't stop the risk. It's in the protein. http://www.cfsph.iastate.edu/Factsheets/pdfs/chronic_wasting_disease.pdf Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by a prion that affects cervids including deer, elk and moose. ... Cooking does not destroy prions, and ingestion of another prion, the agent that causes bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), has been linked to a fatal human neurological disease.

If there is one thing that Indians love to do it's beating one another with long sticks. The government has said that it is now using this as a treatment for Covid-19. Many report feeling better after... like movie stars.

Well... I'm no scientist but. Looking at the reports coming out of India (for example) - which by the way has the largest amount of young people on the planet by far (less prone to die by this virus) - the country is teetering on the very edge of a MASSIVE outbreak the likes of which is going to make everything else look insignificant. The government totally bungled the situation.... at one point they grabbed some suspected cases out of the airport in Delhi, put them on a bus to a fucked up and filthy building still under construction in a northern suburb, then brought in a photographer to shoot a few propaganda pics so the government could claim that the country had a quarantine program. The whole thing was staged. Then they immediately released everyone who was by that point sicker with other illnesses. Also, India refused to test people. No test, no virus. Chalega. I imagine it's the same for other countries with substandard reporting practices. Iran? Now the virus is moving hard and fast through the country in its incubation period... so we are going to see the numbers in a few weeks. Also, because developing countries often lack the facilities to know who died from 'exactly' what, it could be hard to know. Temperature (heat) could also be keeping the numbers down as well. Also... my feeling is that folks in developing countries are more resilient to disease than their hyper clean white glove wearing Western counterparts. I've passed 11 years in South Asia and haven't so much as had a cold/ flu in over 4 years. But the first few years were rough.

I remember hearing Hunter Thompson say something like "Whenever something fucked up happens, one has to ask, who stands to profit?" So if the Chinese purposely launched this, who is going to benefit and how? And if they didn't 'purposely' launch this, then who is going to take advantage of this and how? The climate activists are saying that this is a wake up call and will cause people to take a look at how we are living on the planet... but 99% of the population could give a shit about that. "Hey look... a sale on SUVs! Now I can drive further into the forrest and get my own bat to fuck."

If you can think it, there is certainly someone out there doing it. Desperation makes for strange bed partners.

If someone could just get a super version of the virus to bind to the dick of every Chinese government official, I'd rest a lot easier.

Interesting read. Thanks. I had just commented to a friend on how a global enforcement body absolutely has to see to it that people stop handling/ eating dangerous forms of bush meat. Engineering viruses may have uses beyond my comprehension... but the risk are certainly making themselves apparent. Only in China could one conduct a level 4 virology experiment on an animal, then sell it off in a meat market at the end of the day. Last time I was in Beijing - sitting in a restaurant waiting for a bowl of duck soup - I read a press report that a fair number of pigs had contracted tuberculosis in a small southern region. They hit the pigs with a massive round of antibiotics to keep their weight up until slaughter but with not enough time for the antibiotics to flush out. 400 people wound in the hospital. A BBC food critic has said, eating meat in China is taking your life in your hands.

That was just my offhanded way off saying that I also come here for the way Andrew flys and governs the site (more specifically the lack of governance) - the other moderator (Larry David's brother?) once red flagged me for using a semi colon before finally disappearing into the flesh pots of Asia uttering 'So tender, so tasty.' I also agree and can totally relate to your academic experience. At the time, we can't possibly understand how we are being influenced and the perspective it can later bring. Not sure I can remember much of what was taught, but I certainly know which teachers I would now want to share a pint with.

Great post Fuzzy... thanks! Same same but same. And although I don't have a lot to contribute these last few years with regards to camera gak (I'm working through a massive edit on a doc film), I certainly appreciate keeping in the loop via those that do. Onward.

Hey man come on... the French are going to insulted if you don't reference them on this point as well.

I suffered a catastrophic financial blow several months ago via some camera button pushing monkeys that I absolutely know are aligned with regressive low-level values. I can easily imagine that these same folks climb into sites like this to gain insight and fuel their egos in daily life and while on shoots. And sometimes they then climb into roles where they decide if you work... or lose your house. Fuck these 'people.'

Somehow the 'innernet' has given a microphone to folks who have a blatant disregard for sourcing 'intelligent ideas and viewpoints' that lead to morals and values worth upholding. Looking the other way while lining one's pockets is the main reason America is in the mess that it is... and a self-serving buffoon offering carrots to those he tramples under foot is still just that. I used to see banning people as a little heavy handed, but the fact is that I really come to appreciate sound view points that are built of strong moral fabric. Life is too short to wade through anything less. But please Allah, don't let me be next

The only thing that's 'spreading' here is Chinese government feelgood propaganda. Check the networks.

In a perfect world, I largely agree. However, it could be reasoned that the uncomfortable side of such thinking is that if vast number of people leave it to government to look vital needs, they may become less resilient in times of crisis. On the same token, if lazy incompetent people - who would normally perish through shortsighted thinking and practice, regardless of pandemics like this - are kept alive and allowed to procreate, they perpetuate the cycle... giving rise to a exploitable vote bank that will be lulled into thinking they will be looked after. Unfortunately - though not always - the people get the government they deserve. Edit. Of course I realize that in the context of your comment, you were away from the English roses.
