  Open Timeline with Multiclips

  Posted by Les Kaye on April 18, 2007 at 9:59 pm

  Does anyone know if the Open Timeline feature works in Multiclip mode? Meaning being able to group DVCPro 720P (or 1080I) AND HDV footage in the same group. Also does anyone know how ProRes 422 handles working with multicam footage?

  Thx,

  I would guess open timeline means open timeline. Perhaps what would be more important is whether the drives have the speed to keep up with the data rates and compression of the various formats.

  I am curious to know what “under the hood power” Apple actually put into the software to allow it to do this. It seems a bit cagey to me. It must be putting a lot of work on the CPU processor to actually do the math on all of these formats at once.

  Perhaps the CPU processing has gotten powerful enough to do what daughtercard processing used to do, but I am sure there will be a “letdown factor” when the software is on my machine. Like unlimited RT, was a bit of a letdown (or maybe a more than oversold feature), I suspect that open timeline might be less exciting when the lights of Vegas dim as the Apple vans pull away from NAB.
