Well any time I have to deal with another department I get slowed down. I'm sure your system works for BM but when I run into a revised cut and just need 4 shots captured I can do it in minutes but when I have to find an assistant to do it I can wait for a lot longer than it takes me to just do it. That's just the reality every where I work. I'm talking about finishing/online not the offline process. The one thing I've asked about FCP and FCP rescue is when you trash preferences with FCP rescue the next launch of FCP asks me what capture scratch disk I want and it sets all the various folders to that drive. When I go back later to change the location I seem to have to go through several parameters. This may be do to my lack of FCP chops but I like the one button approach I get after trashing preferences. I'd love to know how to get that functionality without trashing the preferences with FCP rescue. Of course that's a question for another list.
