A lesson for identity thieves and crooks...
Please, I am getting SO tired of getting these messages. I just got a message from wesleystore2010@aol.com who urgently needs a bunch of cartridges via next day air:
If you REALLY wanted to get me to look closer at this request, you need to change up your approach big time.
First, my name is on the Silverado website. Everything else aside, could you take the time to find my name and say "Hey Torrey!" or "Dear Mr. Loomis," or something like that?
Second, enough with the ALL CAPS. NO ONE WANTS TO READ A MESSAGE WHEN IT APPEARS YOU ARE SHOUTING AT THEM.
Third, no one believes you are with "Wesley Store" when your email comes from Yahoo or AOL or Gmail. Please--get a regular domain name that goes back to a legitimate site. I run domains all the time to see where they are setup and when the site was opened.
Fourth, do you even know what business we are in? Silverado sells HD editing systems, not inkjet supplies. Sure, every now and then we order printers for someone as part of a bigger sale, but its not our bread-and-butter. So--when you write asking for dozens of products we don't typically sell--I am sending your email to the trash.
Fifth--learn English and use spell check. Its that simple...
Sixth--you say you are in Atlanta, but want the items freighted to Gardena? Another red flag...
Seventh--going back to your English lessons: you need to structure your sentences better. The way you write is a dead giveaway you are writing these with a group of other idiots who can't write either. Find one of you who can write and spell correctly, and then COPY their fraudulent messages. At least I'll respect you more when I delete you.

The best CG/VFX I have ever seen...
Alex Roman is one extremely talented individual. I've yet to see anything better than this...
If he hadn't stated that it was CG, I still would have been very impressed at his skills and his eye. That this is 99% CG with a little green screen mixed in is unbelievable.

Fixing Final Cut Pro...the Bob Zelin Way
I saw a particularly good post from Bob Zelin on FCP-L about trashing preferences and resetting FCP, especially if you are having difficulty with an AJA card:
Trash your preferences. You must do this "all the way".
This is how to delete the Final Cut Pro preferences:
Quit Final Cut Pro.
on your MAC internal hard drive, navigate to /users/yourloginname/library/preferences, and delete this file - com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
navigate to
/user/yourloginname/library/preferences/FinalCutProUserData
and delete these three files -
Final Cut Pro 6.0 Preferences
Final Cut Pro Obj Cache
Final Cut Pro Prof Cache
thats is ! Relaunch Final Cut Pro, and you will be "starting from scratch".
Now, launch FCP. Right away, to to EASY SETUPS. Choose an EASY SETUP that relates to the AJA Kona LHi drivers, not 8 bit uncompressed or DV/NTSC, or something like that. Choose something like AJA Kona NTSC 8 bit uncompressed, etc. OK, now CREATE A NEW SEQUENCE (file>new sequence), and click on this new sequence. Try to open up color bars on your timeline from the film strip. Do you see color bars ? Is it on your TV ? Go to VIEW>EXTERNAL VIDEO>ALL FRAMES. Is it on your TV ?
If the answer is still NO, then your FCP install is corrupt and you must reinstall FCP.
Of course--you follow this at your own risk and if you toss the wrong file its your responsibility. However, I've done this before with positive results.
