Yes, you're only sending control info out the way, but you've got to
get sound and vision back to you.

[Avid-L2] Re: 12-Bit Audio

Many thanks to Jeff, Roger, Bouke and Dennis for your feedback. The materials have been successfully edited, output, compressed & uploaded.

I appreciate the info that was passed along, especially regarding the analog output from the camera to MOJO's analog input. Two follow-up questions about that:

If I'm using a firewire cable to control the XL-1 (or any other device) via MOJO, will/would that digital connection override any analog connections? If the answer to that is "yes," then wouldn't I sacrifice time-code data if I pull the firewire (video) connection and substitute an analog (RCA or S-video) connection?

Thanks again.

Of course there are.

But if you've seen DirecTV, Digital Cable, FiOS TV or U-Verse TV, you
know what frank is this is possible. (DirecTV is arguable, since they
control the delivery system 100%)

If the media and editing software are on the server, your connection only needs to be fast enough to handle the control events: start, stop, play, pause, mark in, mark out, etc. These are very lightweight as far as bandwidth goes.

Given that it's any platform, I'm revising my original guess from a software client to a browser client, probably with heavy javascripty interface to make it feel like a real app.

Probably not as fully featured as Media Composer :)

Actually I do enjoy meeting users and NAB is a worthwhile exercise for us.
Thankfully we don't get people walking up saying things like "Does it work

[Avid-L2] Re: strategy for adding HD to SD proj?

If your SD material was shot 24pA then have them shoot 1080 24pA and you should have 24fps over 60i. That way all of your footage will have the 24p look.

If your SD material was shot standard 29.97 then have them shoot 1080 30pn or 720 30pn. Otherwise your HD footage will have the look of 24p and your SD footage will look more videoish.

Re: [Avid-L2] Re: strategy for adding HD to SD proj?

All this makes perfect sense, thanks Michael. My SD project is 30i
aka 29.97 I can ask the shooter for any frame rate the HPX170 can
deliver. Rather then me pretend to know the best DVCProHD match to
NYSC 30i, what would that be? 1080i60 1080p30?

I don't have a P2 card reader so the shooter will deliver a drive.

[Avid-L2] Re: strategy for adding HD to SD proj?

Copied/Pasted from the COW forums:

The 170 records to P2 media and shoots in the DV, DV50, or DVCProHD codec. If they're shooting HD, you'll be getting DVCProHD. AVCHD comes from the HMC150.

That said, with P2, you won't be transcoding anything. Have the shooter deliver an exact copy of the P2 card and it's entire structure. Open Avid and switch your Project to HD in the Format tab (the HPX170 footage will need to shot in the same framerate as your SD material for this to work on 3.1.3) and choose Import P2-->Clips to Bin. Navigate to the top level folder of the P2 footage and hit OK. It will populate your bin with MasterClips of the P2 media. If you want, watch the clips and select only the ones you want/need. Then choose Import P2-->Clips to Bin. It will consolidate the P2 media to your media drive, leaving the original P2 footage alone (this could be considered your "tape", or backup). Switch your project back to SD and edit away. All timecode will be preserved on the P2 media.

If the SD material is a different framerate, you'll want to upgrade to MC4.0 (which may not be possible on a G5 - I think it may be Intel Mac only). MC4.x can mix and match framerates. If you need to mix and match framerates, there is software that can add/remove pulldown to the HPX170 footage. Will you be mixing framerates?

Re: [Avid-L2] Re: strategy for adding HD to SD proj?

Doing my best to recap what's possible with footage from a HPX170
going into an existing SD project on a (Mac) system running 3.1.3
Take with a grain of salt, this is my understanding, then what I
don't know.

XDcam would seem like the best flavor of HD to integrate with a SD
project but that is not on offer. The HPX170 my shooter uses
delivers P2 and AVCHD(yes?). Since a driect port doesn't seem
possible, I've read about people converting such footage with
Streamclip or Panasonic's MainConcept transcoder to bring it in.
(transcoding to exactly what I'm not sure). Transcoding to bring in
a shot is one thing but I need to bring in an hours worth and retain
original TC values to intercut with lo-rez SD in my Avid project.

Advise greatly appreciated,

Paul

Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Avid cloud

I will limit my comments to simply these.

- You will be floored by the responsiveness of this cloud-based editor.
- The cloud is less likely to "go down" than attached or LAN storage.
- Avid in recent years has not given valuable floor space to "pie in the
sky" tech demos. If it shows, it's darn close to being real.

Just because you can't imagine it doesn't make it impossible.

Gotta pack. Hope to get out on the show floor and in the booth a bit this
NAB. If anyone from the list wants to meet up, I'll tweet my free range
booth schedule -- twitter.com/fcapria

[Avid-L2] Re: FCP + NAB?

Apple introduced Final Cut Pro 7 at the end of July 2009 with no press
gathering or special event. I would not be surprised to see a serious update
to Final Cut Pro at any time.

In this NLE race with Avid returning to NAB with possible product
announcements, Premiere Pro CS5 and their Mercury Playback Engine, and Final
Cut Pro, I can¹t imagine Apple being content in second or third place. Apple
has not been a company that rests on its laurels.

My advice, stay tuned.

Re: [Avid-L2] Re: FCP + NAB?

FYI...
I work in marketing for a major film studio. I recently polled the vendors we use in LA, as to which editing system they use. The result was 57% to 43% FCP. Most of the Avid house's were older and had been around for some time while most FCP house's were newer. 5-10 years. I don't really have an opinion but, Avid did skip out on NAB a few years a go while FCP attended the same year.

Or it may be. You have no evidence to know either way. Unfortunately
Apple's secretive culture doesn't lend itself to reassuring you that they're
still working hard on FCP.

I don't have much business sense but it seems to me that a financially
thriving Apple has even less incentive to become disinterested in Final Cut
Pro. If they were struggling they would start looking to drop dead weight.
I'm not saying that FCP is dead weight, just acknowledging the iPhone's
money making significance.

Re: [Avid-L2] Re: FCP + NAB?

I agree with your sentiments. I rarely attend NAB and only really pay
attention because of the perpetuation of traditional product release
cycles in this industry.

I just want to point out that because of NAB's impending arrival, we
are trained (pavlovically?) to discus such subjects. I personally,
could not care less as to the time of year Apple disseminates
information about their plans. What I am referring to is the life of
the product. Sure, it gets the job done but, FCP 7 could be better and
in very similar ways that version 6 and 5 could have been better.
After gaining so much momentum in the last 7-9 years, it feels like
it's no longer an interesting proposition for them.

Profits are good and I am happy to help Apple succeed in the consumer
space. I need someone to help me succeed in my industry as well. It
may not be them anymore.

Shameful, a company doing what makes it money.

I don't have any idea of what Apple has planned with regards to Final Cut
Pro, but my guess is that since they still employ people that I know on the
FCP team, they're not done with it yet.

All of you who are annoyed that Apple doesn't exhibit at NAB remember that
being an exhibitor is expensive and a pain in the ass and NAB is a huge
population most of whom don't care a thing about FCP. Better to hold their
own events where every single seat is a buyer. Much more targeted, much
better for them I'm sure. Besides, would YOU want to stand around for eight
hours for four days non-stop talking to people like you?

[Avid-L2] OT: Adapter/Connectors and the Dr. Office

Doc wants to see me for a check up and of course that means time to get weighed.  It feels like I've got about five pounds of adapters/connectors , pocket VOM etc...  Why is it I can't just leave them at home?  There's a part of me that just knows the Dr/'s. Monitor is going to malfunction during the exam and I'll be there to save the day with a bnc to rca adapter.  Last time we had a good laugh as I removed what amounts to "Fibber McGee's closet" from my pockets, with out the sound effect of course.  Maybe I should just skip the internist and go straight to the psychiatry department.  :-)  With NAB plane flight approaching guess it might be time to offload all metallic objects, but what if the pilot needs to plug his iPod into something.......

Re: [Avid-L2] Re: strategy for adding HD to SD proj?

Thanks to both of you. As to Bogdan's suggestion I'd rather stay in
a SD project as 90% of the material is SD*. Also thanks for pointing
out the "latest qualified release for your PPC is 3.1.3"

Kenton, yes I would like to capture into a SD project.

Based on a quick look XDCam doesn't seem to be an option, the
cameraman has a HPX170 and a Canon 5D. However HPX170 seems to offer
SDI out.

Paul

*Honestly I'm strongly leaning towards a SD master, but I enquire in
the event I shoot many more interviews and am pressed to deliver a HD
master.

Do you know where this setting is? I haven't found it and the RED guys don't seem to know about it. I'll check the build I am using.

Sorry Dave, that is incorrect.

REDCine-X Build 183, available for almost 2 weeks now, does create MXF Avid files on both MAC and PC.

Main difference I saw was the ability to pre-correct and manipulate footage in Redcine-X. Make sure you test first which version of Avid codecs and Redcine-X work well together.... we had different combinations work on different systems. Processing on an 8400 was a bit slower than Metafuze, but not too signifigant. Redcine-X dosent make MXF (as of now), you go to DnXHD QT and import those. Adds a time-consuming step over Metafuze, but you do buy it back in pre-processed footage. I had to choose Metafuze for my last project, as it had a fast turnaround and they wanted ALL the footage (190Gb) for the edit.

Nobody really cared when I pointed out the David Lean cut Lawrence of "Arabia" from the buys and safetys.....
