before launching an application.

Cut Pro > Easy Setup. Pick the profile that
matches your hardware.
- Choose View
> External Video > All Frames (Command +
F12).
- If you have
more than one device, you can specify it by
choosing View > Video Playback > and
choosing the device.
Color
- Choose the
Setup Room by pressing Command + 1.
- Locate the
Video Output menu toward the right edge.
Note: Color currently does
not support FireWire monitoring of any kind
including DVCPRO HD and AJA IO devices.
Motion

> Preferences and click the Output
tab.
- Select an
Output path based on your active hardware.

If you need
to put together a storyboard, you have lots
of options. But the process of laying out
the pages and dealing with changes to shot
order or selection can get tedious.
Fortunately there is a free solution
called Directors Boards
which
alleviates most of the challenges (no, it
won't draw for you).
This great program is based on Filemaker, but
doesn't need you to have the full program
installed in order to run. You essentially load
in information regarding the shots including the
audio and video columns, shot number, and a
thumbnail image. Directors Boards then allows you
to organize the shots as well as create a
sldieshow presentation or print out professional
looking storyboards. The product is
cross-platform and free... what more do you need?
Well there is a more robust version called
Directors Notebook, which we are putting through
its paces and will have a detailed review soon.
