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 español 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
