Hi, my name is Nicolas Russo I’m from Argentina, I’m Editor in chief here in Buenos Aires from a new news channel that has debut on
past Monday for the first time and is broadcasted to all Latin
America on the cable.
The channel has a initial investment of 10 million
dollars (actually CNN en espaƱol made a story out of it, if you search C5N in
you tube, you can watch it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HofR_oZxmNg
)
The workflow of the channel is a tape less workflow
based on Panasonic P2 cards and Final Cut pro. I’ve reach your mail via
the web, because I’ve make a research and I can’t find any news channel
that work with FCP as their editing platform. I’ve found a couple that
use FCP as part as their workflow (like ingesting material) but no as we do,
that have all the bays with it.
I’m trying to contact direct feedback with the
FCP people at apple, because the support that we have here in Buenos Aires is not really helpful. I really
need to have the experience of someone how has worked in a news channel
workflow since the management of media and proyects is not like any other usage
of editing.
If you know anyone who works with a similar workflow,
you can give me any advice about it, or the contact of someone at apple, I will
really appreciate it.
Thank you very much
Nicolas J. Russo
