We could double speed capture from The SR deck to FCP. DS also did it.

I cannot count the number of times a producer asked me if ingesting or outputting from Media Composer was faster than real time. Followed quickly by a disappointed sigh when they heard my answer.

Only LTO is sooooooo much slower. Video tape is the original Real Time.

Add the fact that LTO may soon be required delivery - your file based just became tape based again - linear tape.

My biggest issue with tapeless delivery is you cannot "insert edit" fixes. Say you misspelled someone's lower third, or you spot a glitch. You can't simply insert a fix, cut to cut. You have to re-output the entire file again.

Barring that, I love it. Cheaper by far (no $300-$400 tapes and you needing to deliver 4-6 tapes...and then the deck ownership, or even rental)...simply deliver your files on a $100 USB drive.

But also to people who've no clue on how to get a file to pass network QC. A broader market is possible, a stupider one however won't make the grade. You always get what you pay for.

HD tape I/O required a $25,000 deck connected to a $5,000 Mac running a free/pirated application. By eliminating that expensive gear, the market for HD post was opened to a wider market.

... because it was easy and reliable, silly.

Outputting now is so much more... adventuresome.
