New FCPX confirmed for December

[Marcus Moore]

Yeah. I saw that one. I’d wager that’s the current interface, unless nothing has changed. I think the small size of the image is making the boxes seem more square.

If LUTs interest you Premiere is doing them realtime, and they’ve been doing it since CC dropped. Nice presets bundled as well.

[Mark Raudonis] “In other words, you can get three camera coverage out of a single media file. That’s pretty efficient.”

I’ve done that sort of stuff for the web, shooting HD. Generally the kind of multicam coverage I shoot would not work this way, I’d rather spend my money on 2 xtra Go Pros and get the angles that I need. I do appreciate the xtra bandwidth of 4K and all that it implies, but I think 4K is way premature for my clients. By the time I’m ready for 4K I’m sure 8K will already be happening.

As addendum, years ago I made the decision to go all in on DVCPRO HD right after Panasonic unveiled it at NAB. I Convinced the producers I worked with to go HD on a new PBS cooking series. We shot the series with all the attendant problems of working on the cutting edge but it all turned out well and the show was well received. However I didn’t get a call for another HD show for 4 years. The series, Daisy Cooks!, shows up in NYC all the time but never in HD, always in the SD letterboxed version. If I want to see it on HD I play it in my studio. I will never be the first kid on the block again with any new format.

Nowadays I wait until my clients force me to change, much to the relief of my accountant.

I hear you on this line Herb.

I hope to run with my f3 for a couple of years longer : )

Cards are in the post season again (yay) and so far I saw one guy with a Red down there. Didn’t get a chance to ask him who he was shooting for but I’m thinking MLB

It seems to be coming on in sports lately. I heard talk of the Rams going Red and saw an article about CBS looking at 4k to blowup replays for the Super Bowl.

The NFL has money to burn. I think there is at least one other team that is gong with the f5

Teams do their own in-house stuff now and then hand it to FOX and say ‘air this”

I’m thinking they might be happy to see that tube

While ESPN is pretty much done with 3D

… and no project icon in the bottom left of the interface.

[Chris Harlan]

I absolutely LOVE that.

[Mark Raudonis] “One 4K camera can give you THREE camera angles: WS, CU left, CU RT. “

[Jeremy Garchow] “That’s exactly my use for 4k as well. One camera, multiple hi resolution crops.”

[Chris Harlan] “Back in the SD world, I used to do that all the time with HD.”

Somewhere out there, a DP just shed a silent tear.

(But hey, that’s what they get when we have to fix it in post…)
