    Hey here is some friday fun!

    so has anyone started a pool to see how long it takes for someone to post about trying to use apples latest consumer codec “iFrame” ?

    the press release sez its not for FCP, but we all know how that goes!

    i am guesing sometime next week

    whats interesting is its being called a hi def codec, bit when you look at the pixel count its wide screen PAL sd!

    place yer bets!

    I was expecting something yesterday or today.

    it is HD…for the WEB. Web HD is not full frame. There is a good article on that here:

    [Shane Ross] “it is HD…for the WEB.”
    Hi
    Its also the max resolution of the current Apple TV at greater than 30p or more.
    What could an iPhone/iPod Touch-with-a -camera-fitted cope with for editing? Certainly not long-GOP variants…
    And what about an iTab(let)?

    Just because we know about FCP hereabouts doesn’t mean we know jacksh*t about the toolset of the direct-to-youtube future 😉
    But we know about a/v communication – so we can learn! 😉

    First of all let me say that I’m using Final Cut Express, but I have no reason to believe that my experiences would be any different with FCP.

    I just recently purchased the Sanyo Xacti VPC-FH1A and have been using Iframes with Final Cut with no problem. It appears that Iframe is nothing more than a different flavor of the MPEG4 format. As such it is VERY Final Cut friendly. Unlike my experiences with other cameras which may use AVI or MPEG2 formats, I have not found it necessary to do any conversion before using the files.

    Now it is quite likely that many of the bells and whistles of the Iframe format have not been implemented. But even as is, the Iframe format posses no problems.

    If Apple has not bothered to update the Iframe capabilities on Final Cut Express or Final Cut Pro, it is probably because it already works so well that they do not feel any pressing need to get around to it.

    Well that is my two-bits worth.

    Peace
