[Avid-L2] Re: OTish: Replacement Optical drive for iMac 5.1?
To follow up I got an OWC external optical drive and plugged it in and everything just works. Now in iDVD there is a pull down menu when it comes to burning to choose which drive, the matshita internal or the new external. Also after plug and play putting a DVD into the external automatically launches the DVD player app. All is well and Melrose Mac quoted approx. $250 to 300 to replace the internal drive. I looked up the proceedure and while it looks doable it really seems problematic with all the emi tape and foam. With new iMacs not available and the current version out of stock in a lot of places this will do fine for now.

I've googled and there seem to be a myriad of possibilities but my gut says it's the drive itself. I've ordered an external optical drive which should work for the time being. Does anyone know if iDVD will recognize the external drive like it did the internal and burn to it? I don't know why it wouldn't but figured I'd ask the collective.

The older G5 models look easy but there's a lot of sticky EMI tape other sticky foam that seems a little daunting on the later intel models. Of course even if I blew it up the new external drive would work on a new iMac which is looking more and more appealing.

Re: [Avid-L2] Canon 5D Mark II and 7D vs Sony EX?
I have technicolor installed on a Canon 7D and a Nikon D7000. Both are fantastic with this firmware install.
In most environments, the footage has a lot more information in it.

Hey, someone was just telling me about the Technicolor CineStyle Profile for Canon cameras. I have not used it, but thought I would pass it along in case you wanted to check it out. They were telling me that it's a profile you load onto the Canon camera and it records in a log-like mode to allow for a bit more latitude in grading. If you work with it please let us know how well it works.

Re: [Avid-L2] Canon 5D Mark II and 7D vs Sony EX?
Ya, the Technicolor thing looks pretty OK. Note I've only seen it a couple of times. But in my circle, most use something similar to what Stu Maschwitz suggests:
• Start with the Neutral Picture Style
• Set Sharpness to zero—all the way to the left
• Set Contrast all the way to the left
• Set Saturation two notches to the left
Works well enough.
Check out his detailed (and funny) FAQ on Canon DSLR settings and his reason for preferring these settings to Technicolor's (short version: if camera goes down or you're working with multiple/rented cameras, you can easily set up something like his flat settings):

Re: [Avid-L2] Canon 5D Mark II and 7D vs Sony EX?
We've graded a bunch of footage with that profile. It definitely helps, but
you still can't push those cameras very far - they have a smaller sweet
spot for exposure than Sony, RED, and Alexa. Waiting patiently for
Blackmagic's imminent propagation…

Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Canon 5D Mark II and 7D vs Sony EX?
The Sony EX cameras have three 1/2-inch sensors. The Canon 7D has a single with about an inch diagonal. The Canon 5D has a single sensor with about a 1.7-inch diagonal. That's a really rough guide (and bogus description), but the key point: the Canons have single much-bigger sensors. More info and a couple charts:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_sensor_format
You can use a Letus or similar adapter to fit SLR or film lenses on an EX1 or EX3. Depending on the adaptor, you may gain the shallow DOF, but you may lose a stop or two and end up with a longer and sorta awkward rig. I don't really see people using such adaptors with EX cameras anymore.
Ya, DSLRs can be better in low light than an EX camera.

You can use a Letus or similar adapter to fit SLR or film lenses on an EX1 or EX3. Depending on the adaptor, you may gain the shallow DOF, but you may lose a stop or two and end up with a longer and sorta awkward rig. I don't really see people using such adaptors with EX cameras anymore.
Ya, DSLRs can be better in low light than an EX camera.

Thanks for the workflow advice. I think a main reason for going out to tape is to have something to archive the material and deliver it to the network. Me thinks it also masks the use of DSLRs which some networks take a dim view of, or only allow a small percentage of material to come from a DSLR.

[Avid-L2] Group Member topic
I have just rejoined the group under a new name, forgot my old log in.
I would like to post a topic.....
*Subject: Using Waves Mercury Bundle as RTAS plug-ins in MC 6.0.3.2*
*
*
*Has any one been using the RTAS plug-ins from Waves V9 Mercury in Avid MC
6.0.3.2, running on Mac 10.7.5?*
*I have been running great for years using the V8 Diamond RTAS audio
plug-ins, but when I upgraded to Mercury today I get an Avid crash when
jumping in and out of the RTAS via Track Control Panel. Waves tech support
is good, but so far this issue has forced me to downgrade back to V8
Diamond Bundle. Avid offers no support, but promotes the Mercury Bundle as
advertised for RTAS/AudioSuite for MC.*
*The problem always forces out of Avid, and then slows down my Mac desktop
by making the doc inaccessible, and drop and drags delayed. So I wonder if
this is something that may be fixed once I upgrade to Mac OS 10.8 and MC
6.5?*
*
*
*Any thought?*
*

[Avid-L2] automatic multiview creator?
anyone have any neat tricks for creating a playable multiviewer from individual files?
came up as I had 16 x streams coming off one FW disk in FCP7 - and there was no way that was going to fly. Ideally I'd leave a render going overnight to burn a 16 way multiview and have that as a playable source.
(i could make one manually, but that would be too painful to layout and build, so I'll struggle on without playback of the multiview).
lately I've had production record the multiviewer HD-SDI output on set where possible, and it is really useful, but it does burn a record point that is better used for another iso.

There are tons of reasons to use the Canons over the EX. However, yes,
the EX will look much better on a large screen, because the Canons use
line-skipping. Also grading is tougher than with the EX. They should
use the ProLost "neutral" settings for best results.
To prep for post, they seem to be going through a lot of work. My Avid
workflow has been this:
1. Cinema Tools to conform the speed of the 60fps footage to 23.98
(23.976).
2. MPEG Streamclip to batch convert to Avid DNxHD QT movs.
3. QtChange to add reel number and TC.
4. Fast import into Media Composer 23.976 project.

RE: [Avid-L2] Unity 5 System disk
HI there,
So it has to be an identical drive? Not too easy to find now and out of warranty?
Thanks

Avid should still be able to supply one(under or after warranty).
Be aware that IntelRAID is finicky and won't allow you to rebuild on a mismatched drive.
And I would act fast, as Unity5 stores all metadata for the driveset on the system drive.
cheers,

Hi there,
I think the system drives on these are mirrored and one of ours has failed,
so it runs in degraded mode. Do I need to replace with an Identical drive
which is now not that easy to find or can it be any one of the same size?
Thanks
