New iMacs Update

SO, now we have the all-singing all-dancing new iMacs, and all our Y12 projects and events have been shifted over from the white ones (which will all be completely wiped by Friday and therefore a lot quicker and freed up to use to blog, go online with etc).

All of your filming FROM NOW ON must therefore be uploaded STRAIGHT to your iMac - there's a black firewire adaptor at the back of them all and they must STAY CONNECTED AT ALL TIMES - you simply plug in your beige firewire cable into the black adaptor and you can upload from the Sony cameras to the iMacs without having to go through the white macs.

Leave the adaptor plugged into the back.

The Y13 work is moving over this week - is taking longer as they've got more.

However, thanks to Andrea and Charlotte's odd problem of some of their events going missing, Ms Poulten and I have decided to give EVERY group their own password - it is totally independent to your group so DO NOT DIVULGE IT TO ANYONE. They are all available from me - put them into your phones and keep them safe - there's one for your white mac and a different one for your new iMac.

And remember to always log off.

So now, if any of your stuff DOES go missing, the only possible reason for this is that you hadn't logged off and someone's come on and messed about with your iMovie stuff or that you've shared your passwords and you're an idiot.

However, having said all that, the iMacs can't be used at the moment as am installing Final Cut Pro onto them all - something that takes ONE day PER mac.. completed iMac 6 today, will get another one done tomorrow.

SO, be patient, we'll be there soon - in the meantime, there are hundreds of tutorials on YouTube for using FCP - as I said on Monday, you need to be self-teaching, asap!
