Question about AJA and Leopard.

Oh god,
lucky for me the worst I ever had to deal with was the Sony 5850 and 5000. I think I still have nightmares about tying to conform edit list on a CMX.

Here’s a link to a press release from AJA on this subject

In the snow, uphill both ways, blah blah blah…is this where I get to tell my story about strapping on a timecode generator the size of a brick to my camera, plugging it into audio channel 2 and hoping it wouldn’t bleed onto channel one, just so we could cut with some hope of a repeatable matchframe edit? Now back to work you old geezers…of which I am becoming one myself…

“””I’m using KONA3 and FCP601 on a Mac Pro 8 core”””
that is exactly configuration I want to buy…and I have a question for you about it…
Could you please test for me multiple graphic layer (4 or 5 psd or tga with transparency over each other) in fcp if it plays in realTime without rendering (using that for playOUT on beta via rs)…many thx for this information…

No, this would not be real time. You have to render anything with
drop shadows or transparencies. One of the shortcomings of FCP.
It doesn’t matter how fast your system or Drive array, FCP just won’t do
some things real time AT ALL. And even if it plays back the tracks
in real time, you’ll still have to render the entire sequence to edit to tape
or make a quicktime to export.On the positive side, the rendering is much faster now with the 8 core machines. And if you are making a quicktime for internet upload for instance, once you drop that quicktime into Compressor, it will render 4 times faster than before by setting up a virtual cluster on your 8 core. It’s amazing to watch it render an h.264
clip now. One that used to take 30 minutes now takes 6.
So it’s not all bad, but FCP could really benefit from a new engine for
real time playback that is really real time.Dan
