[Avid-L2] Stereo Editorial in MC5

Hi all,

I am proud to say that thanks to a great new relationship between ASSIMILATE and Avid, I am once again, well... editing. I have had to access parts of my brain that were a bit dormant. It was very frustrating for the first few hours - the staccato barrage of keyboard shortcuts I used to roll off like a piano sonata were rusty and in some cases forgotten. But very quickly, I had my mojo back. Damn, I forgot how much I enjoy editing on MC. Concepts make sense, and editorial things work like I want them to.

(Ok - before I get into my story - please help me with what feels like a real "newbie" question...I know how to do a Video Mixdown. But how can I get a sequence to be represented as one big clip without having to create new media through a mixdown?)

I thought I'd relay a great story to the folks here on the success of MC5.

I am in Singapore for the Broadcast Asia trade show. For the past week, I have been part of a small group of people doing an intensive seminar for Panasonic on stereoscopic workflow with the new Panasonic AG-3DA1 stereoscopic camera. The camera shoots AVCHD onto two SD cards - one for LE, one for RE. Here is part of a post I sent to the CML earlier today. Thought the Avid crowd would enjoy it.

A bit of info on the post-production front for footage coming from this
camera:

I have used Media Composer v5 to edit together a 3D piece for Broadcast
Asia. It supports AVCHD and allows me to output to a consumer screen via
side-by-side. The exciting thing here is that I am using my Dell laptop
do realtime stereo editing with a 43" Panasonic Viera as the client
monitor. I've set up my Win7 x64 laptop so that my laptop screen is the
edit screen, and when I select "Full Screen Playback," that outputs via
the HDMI output of the laptop to the screen.

I then use SCRATCH (also on my laptop) to do realtime stereo color
correction via the same mechanism for a final output.

Stereo editing from Panasonic AG-3DA1 -> Media Composer v5 -> SCRATCH,
with every step of the way being monitored on an acceptable client
screen in stereo and in realtime.

All off of my web-purchased laptop.

I think that's pretty cool.
