Online from Adrenaline to DS is a nightmare……
Im shocked at how painful going from a media composer to a DS to online is…..AVX 1 plug ins…AVX 2 plug ins….dissolves dont match our chase tapes….wish they would figure all this out……its very timeconsuming and EXPENSIVE……by the way we are using Sapphire Plug Ins which have both AVX 1 and AVX 2 versions because Avid seems to be in a transition period with effects…which is good….but everything is very messy right now….wish they would move all of the FX to AVX 2 (Avid) and be done with it…..by the way….Gen Arts has in the AVX 2 plug ins things called widgets where you can resize ect the frame without having to use an Avid resize plug in….what a concept…..you just grab the frame and do what you want to it….welcome to the 21st century……

A question – why choose to online in DS??
If you wanted total conform then why not online in Symphony or Symphony Nitris?
I’m a DS & Symphony operator and it sounds like bad decision making combined with a lack of knowledge to me. You just don’t put complicated offline edits into a DS unless you plan to recreate most of your effects from scratch. Most would see this as a bad thing but offline editors given a bunch of plugins don’t have the time or mindset to create what DS operators do day in day out.
I’ve just finished an 8 part series for Sky in the UK which was offlined on adrenaline and onlined on DS. The offline edit was ‘tricksy’ but I needed to go beyond what the offline editor have given me. I kept all the useful effects like resizes etc but rebuilt all other effects in a way that DS allowed me to template my graphics and have maximum flexability and speed when i’m sat in from of the client. the client was amazed at what we could do and how much better his show looked than he expected – he won’t ever be onlining on Symphony again and he didn’t once complain while he watched me recreate bog standard avid effects into the DS realm.
I do agree that it would be nice if projects could transfer with more effects intact but DS has never been able to do that – so why wake up one day and expect it to suddenly do it on a current project??

THks for the response……I am learning the hard way…..the post house we are taking our online too doesnt have a symphony that will do HD so they pushed us to the DS and now we are paying for it in time…..I should have done more research but I trusted the people around me knew what they were doing……is the Symphony Nitros out and available??? And it will do uncompressed HD? What about 2K 4K? THanks again…
