Creative Cow Leader Shane Ross is one of a very small handful of the world's most respected FCP experts. Over the course of years answering questions, he's compiled a real-world list of the questions that are truly the most frequently asked. He calls them Shane's Stock Answers. We call them the information you really need for working with FCP. Here in Part 3, he covers QuickTime issues, timecode management, P2 tips and much more, including one of the most frequently questions of all: how to open new projects in older versions of FCP.

The Forbidden Kingdom opened last week with a higher-than-expected $21 million! We don't take ALL the credit...but let's put it this way: when you read this amazing article, you'll have some idea of why it's making such a big impression. You'll also get a Creative Cow world-exclusive look at how it came to be.

Business & Marketing Forum
LLC, C-Corp, S-Corp?
My little studio has been a partnership for too long now, and we are in the process of considering our business format options. There isn't a lot of information available regarding which format studios typically go with, so I figured I'd pose the question here.
RED Camera Forum
I'm never shooting video again.
