[Avid-L2] Re: Way back machine... quiz for the 'early adopters' over 50...

I never used them but there were punch tape machines and probably 8 inch floppy units that would record every edit edl style. Perhaps that was a later addition I was on the ECS90s & 103s when I was at UCLA in 1981. I actually installed the edit bays as a student worker. Yeah the cruise control button was awesome it could maintain whatever shuttle speed you were doing when you pressed it.

[Avid-L2] Re: Way back machine... quiz for the 'early adopters' over 50...

I remember well the ECS-90 and <gasp> the *103* which had Cruise on the
joystick. Oh my Lordy!

The trick back then was preview a couple of times then write down the
timecode numbers (conveniently displayed in status monitor) while the
decks were cueing and pre-rolling into the edit. ('Recall' if you missed it)

Once we wrote these points (at least 3 of them) we would need to "talk
out" for online. There was no data recording system of any kind. Sure
there were eight-inch floppies or punch tape, but they weren't for the
likes of off-line, no siree, THEY were to dump the final on-line EDL
onto. Pure hubris, thinking of that for off-line.

No, we had to say out loud "Reel 22, set in 1 25 06 set out 1 28 12"
with "trim in split audio 1 20" and the on-line Editor dutifully typed
all those numbers. On a 1-hour drama, these sessions took 8 to 9 hours
for assembly, with another 4 to 5 hours for supers, credits, bumpers,
integrations etc. There also wasn't any fixed Record side numbers. We
never knew where the action would start due to different saga-sells and
titles. However today I'd get it all typed in and ripple.

We also had to calculate the "shift-Mark_Reset" values, saying
"Recorder: shift-Mark_Reset, set-in 1 02 03 04..." where we picked up on
the record side. If we backed up one second and fourteen frames for a
split edit we had better bloody-well KNOW that exactly. "Trim_In minus
114, Set_In...".

We soon learned to call code in pairs, hard to write but sort of "set_in
1........ 06.......05.....04" with the numbers close together SAID
together. Da-da, da-da, da-da Easier to visualise and type than just a
string of numbers.

Add in the already tired offline-Editor plus their croaking voice after
a while and swirl with irascible on-line Editor barking out corrections
or calling durations (to check), making a big deal of pal-pairing errors
and insisting we know exactly how many seconds he was to dissolve.
"Can we preview the dissolve?" "No. Wimps preview. Ya want one second or
two seconds?" n"Er...ummm...". "Righto, I'll make it two since you don't
know"

Couldn't easily go back to change anything either since these were 2"
tapes on Quad machines. Unless the same tape went back on the same Quad
machine and all four heads were lined up exactly the same...

Hard to believe we won awards for this shit.

Hard to believe we didn't punch out the online smug bastards. (Some were
OK).

Hard to believe we didn't all turn to substance abuse... oh wait.

[Avid-L2] Re: Way back machine... quiz for the 'early adopters' over 50...

It certainly was fun or I wouldn't still be doing it. I started with a 3 camera B&W studio we built in high school when I was 13. Talking about open reel Sony deck here's my favorite story. A guy shot with the open reel deck air to air a squadron of planes. When he went to play back the tape later all the planes were upside down and flying backward. WTF? He later discover he had threaded the tape upside down but because the pitch stability of the flying squadron there was some harmonic close enough to control track frequency to fool the deck into locking with the tape threaded upside down. Voila upside and backwards video before an ADO, Squeeze Zoom or Quantel DPS was a twinkle in someone's eyes.

Yes, I agree it's a great PK, and what I like about it, is that it's
now not only RED. Jason Wigrove the other half of the team has just
presented an FXphd course on Directing where they shot a short film
using ANA lenses, and the pictures are superb. My appolgies to the

The 5800's where U-Matic. The Sony Industrial Betamax decks I learned on where I think SLO-340's. They where Betamax format recording at the one hour speed and had flying erase heads for video insert editing and two channel audio. They where controlled by the RM-440.

John I cut news pkg's with BVU-200's and V0-2800's. That's when I learned what "sweating bullets" meant. I also carried a BVU-100 and 150 when shooting back in 1981.

Actually batch capturing HDV with the Sony HVR-1500 is a breeze. It's just as robost as DVcam is on a DSR-1500 and 1800. Turns out the trip through Sebsky Tools did in fact maintain valid time code to the original source tapes. The batch capture worked like a charm. As to levels well I'm about to find out. Thanks for the info on the codec.

Re: [Avid-L2] OL RED CENTRE PK

Big fan of Red Centre, actually. While it started as a talk about
red, these two goobers talk like the rest of us do over a beer...
often lapsing into super-nerd speak, and nattering on about some
obscure aspect of digital cinematography. If there's a new RC on my
iphone when I go out to walk the dog in the morning, it's always my
first choice, even over great podcasts like 'The Moth,' 'This American
Life,' and 'Radio Lab.'

Shows what a nerd I am. I don't even shoot these days, but still get
enthralled with ferahners talk about 'TVCs' and 'Docos.' (man, I
need to get out of the edit bay once in a while...)

As I expected, it shows that the Scarlet isn't anywhere close to ready. Even after being redesigned to compete with the HDSLRs it is having to be redesigned yet again. Looks like this release is targeting the higher-end users and trade-up RED One owners first.

Re: [Avid-L2] Apple HDV Codec Field Order?

Hi Roger, I can confirm that Apple HDV is a mac only codec. It looks that
the problem is on the imported QT on mac, If that´s, I don´t know any way
to fix the scrambled fields inside avid. The color shift you might have if
you recapture using original tapes via HD-SDI depends on the setting that
where used on Mac Avid Import. Depending on the length of your sequence that
would be the best to do, but batch capturing HDV is not an easy task.
Hope this help.

[Avid-L2] Re: Way back machine... quiz for the 'early adopters' over 50...

Geez the 5800 was a super fancy front loader. Try VO-2850 and 60 that had to be modifyed for Convergent ECS-90 control. The trick was to manually torque up the reverse play take up tension so it roughly matched the tentelometer reading of fwd play. Real subtle, bend the tension spring on the idler wheel thingy a couple notches tighter and voila you had better pre roll accuracy. At least that's what I convinced myself when I heard less ping ponging during edits. I too learned most of my time code knowledge analyzing the FLA mod boards to accommodate 3/4 tapes recorded without framing servos to properly align control track to time code/fields.

Reminds me of the time someone told me the deck wouldn't accept the
size tape she had. Back then, there weren't that many tape sizes and I
couldn't understand what size tape wouldn't fit in the deck... Turns
out she was trying to load it before taking the tape out of its

I don't know. It may have kind of a Gene Rodenberry, "7 of 9" feel to
it! Sorry for the Trekkie reference. I cut STNG promos for years.

No the LD doesn't record, none of them did that. I have a Sony DVR with a
DVD recorder built-in. So I just select the Beta on the Pioneer receiver
and
dub away. I have done some LD to DVD transfers for folks that don't have
LD players, but own Japanese releases of stuff that never made it here.

The Beta used to look pretty good on my old XBR and HSR sets. But on my
XBR-970 it looks really ugly. Still better than VHS, but ugly.

I used to have a 8mm deck, but it succumbed to the dreaded Sony capacitor
disease. RIP

[Avid-L2] Apple HDV Codec Field Order?

I would like to start by thanking the Apple engineer who came up with the Apple "only" HDV codec.  How could you know that after a week of double shifts I wanted to stay at work till 5:30 am sorting out field order issues on a PC Avid SN classic.  Can someone tell me why the import field order into an Avid needs to be even not odd (which is the opposite of what most HD graphics are etc....)  If a qt is in the Apple HDV codec does that mean it was captured into FCP native through firewire?

Here is my problem.  A show was started in FCP then moved to Avid using Sebsky tool.  This was done on a Mac Avid.  The media was brought in already imported and then consolidated to the online Avid SN classic on PC.  Almost if not all the Sebsky'd clips have field order issues.  It is my understanding through bleery eyes that there is no PC QT codec for the Apple HDV, can someone confirm this?  The only way I could get to the original QTs was to open them in QT pro on my macbook pro and export them as animation or Avid Packed Codec.  I could not use DNX because of backwards compatabiliy of the new DNX codec to the old DNX on the symphony.  I know that is just a download thing and will suggest that fix for DNX.  Once I've converted the QTs to a PC friendly codec I found that they must be imported as lower field first to avoid the field order issue I'm seeing.  Is the Apple HDV codec really lower field normally or is my need for conversion
causing a field order swap?

Assuming the Sebsky tools conversion was done correctly will the source  time code reflected in the Avid timeline be an accurate to the original field tapes?  If so then I'm thinking it will be quicker to recapture of tape than have to import the entire QT clips.  Plus relinking the QT media seems to be problematic due to the typical Avid imported media issues when trying to relink or reconnect.

Lastly could anyone speculate on what video level differences I might expect if we do recapture off tape.  I can only imagine that the trip through QT import will yield different levels that a capture SDI off tape.  Hopefully that will be small sense I've already color corrected the show with the imported media.

Sorry for all the questions I haven't slept much in a week do to double shifts so I'm a little more frazzled tha usual.  TIA   I'm cross posting to both L's for advice.
