Real Time Targas
I’m using a bunch of Targa sequences on a time line and they playback fine AFTER the disks sit and crunch for a while. Often if I adjust something again it crunches. I have a 300MB/sec. array so I’m a little puzzled. Is this normal? Using Targas is such a time saver vs. having to render everything to a movie format. I can do frame fixes without having to create a whole new movie. Very handy but these disk slowdowns are disappointing.

You need to be in a qt format for decklink to work. Check out their framelink utility to work with image sequences as a qt… instead of targa just render dpx (better bit depth than targa), then mount it like framelink.

Hmm. I’m on Windows so does that change things at all? Premeire seems to work entirely with avi in Premiere. Thanks for the Framelink idea. I can see how to mount an existing movie as a sequence. That was a good idea 10 years ago on the first PVR card I saw working and I haven’t seen it since. However, I don’t understand how to mount a sequence. If I create a movie in framelink it mounts an empty drive letter. I rendered a DPX sequence there but couldn’t do anything with it. There doesn’t seem to be any documentation for Framelink. My goal is to be able to go in to sequences and fix/edit frames easily that’s why the Targa sequence playback is so nice but it slows Premiere to a crawl when anything is changed. I guess I should render to movies and then use framelink to mount them, modify the frames and then get framelink to write the movie back out? I guess I’ll have to poke around and figure it out unless someone can point some documentation my way?
Thanks.
