FCPX FAQ, offensive???
-
Its a BETA driver…. wait for a while.
-
The fact that it is a beta driver is completely irrelevant to the fact that there is no “play out device” option in the actual program. You can write drivers until you wear the letters off your keyboard but drivers don’t add features to a program – they only enable hardware to work with it.

We have all kinds of media… from Digi beta , XDcam, dv-hdv, tapless formats too from HDSLR , .movs from graphics etc.
You can have all this in the new FCPX , we do capturing from Digi Beta with Black magic – Aja and the we can import them in FCPX too .
We dont throw our FCP or Avid or Premiere (we own all of them) .
Our graphics department like to use Adobe suit, editors like Avids, i like FCPx now.

And our final media , is always uncompressed MOVs or AVIs , send via network to the Air.

OK . mmm. now that sounds a little.. iffy.
You’re sending uncompressed AVI’s to.. the air.
Whats the data rate on those AVI’s? how are they getting to the air? are you tapeless transmission set up? Is it coming off a grassvalley K2 or something?

How are you so sure , it will not have this function in the feature ?

Last time I checked most video play-out servers used jpeg 2000 files. I mean the professional ones.
When you say [john spirou] “send via network to the Air”you do mean wireless RF transmission over an antenna?

This is the key point so many are missing. Desktop Display isn’t the same thing as having the real output passed through by the program, any more than a picture of a Ferrari is the same as the real thing. This is a crucial fix that Apple needs to correct. Then and only then can AJA,Decklink, Matrox etc. Create a driver that will do what is needed…

My guess is Lion and av foundation will solve this, but Apple won’t tell you that directly.
If you read the FAQ and then between the lines, you can pretty much see it’s coming. This is the first time I have heard Apple acknowledge a beta program.
AJA VTR Exchange works right now if you need i/o to/from rs422 sources and fcp7 is not good enough for you anymore.
The sky is not falling, and please keep it civil. The personal chip shots do no good in here. If you are mad about FCPx, send feedback to Apple.

I mean really John..Where do you work? I’ve read your other postings on another thread on Avid, this kind of commenting reminds me a hell lot of the average “technician” working on Greek TV stations which almost always has their facts wrong… and by the way almost all of them use airtime software with playlists for their air time (SD) with compressed IMX or other mp4 wrapped formats.
We send IMX or ProRes to adstream (a Greek intermediary agency for digital delivery between Post houses and Broadcasters) we would never send uncompressed.
I don’t know why you guys are so bold and use uncompressed…Any data center behemoth I don’t know about?
