  • decklink and premiere pro 1.5?!

    hello,
    I wanted to know if someone is using ppro and decklink and if it was smooth together.
    In fact, stuff like speed up the footage at 300% without rendering, real time transition effect and stuff like that. We’d like to work in 10 bits. what hardware should be needed in order not having framerate reading troubles?! Can premiere read DV and decklink stuff on same timeline?
    We tried fcp 5.0 with a decklink SD, and fcp can’t read the speed up footage without rendering, it takes time. Playing 10 bits footage takes 1 second to start. After a render, fcp is busy for few seconds. Boring!
    An editing software must be fast and smooth.

    Thanks for your advices

    Dan

    Hi Dan
    Just wondering what system your on that does what your asking? I cant speak much about FCP but I hear it works real well. I have two decklink sys w/premiere pro. After editing on discreets smoke’s for many years, client that work with me now on premiere say I work faster. “guess that means I was slow on the smoke” I do about 75% of my jobs in 8 bit.. The ones that require many layers and lots of composites get done in 10 bit. As far as the slo-mo yes its a render. and no time warping in premiere “grrrr”. they have plug-in out to do it but I’am sure they render. As far as realtime some of the efx are realtime some arent. The duration of the efx have lots to do with if flows.. I was playing around with some tests today and was surprised at what I was able to do. I think the way premiere is writen needs some boosting.. Even though its multi proc aware, it tends not to max them.. Fast/many drives are the way to go. I use U-320’s 8 x147g. two busses. Declink has been great releasing drivers, And each time many features are added. And Yes to DV and Uncompressed in the same timeline. Hope this helps
    regards
