Congrats ….now update your profile 🙂 Totally agree with you the Sideways sucked! I got halfway through and took the DVD back…yawn!

Now onto the editing part of things:
How many realtime layers are you getting with Adrenaline?
SD?
HD?

Does it handle HDV yet? Oh wait, that is not coming out for a while, so unfair to ask right now.

How has your overall experience been with Adrenaline HD? It is on the radar of an editor friend of mine as a replacement for his FCP system.

Now back to being a happy Monkey 🙂

– Haven’t fully tested # of layers yet. Frankly, the thing renders so fast, I currently care less.
– HDV is a heaping pupu platter, anyway. It’s like driving a Ferrari with four spare “donut” tires. Shame on SONY for creating the format.
– Overall experience: not as bad as some led me to believe. It’s jumpy and spaztic at times, but everything I wand to get out of it… I do.

What I like:
– a not-so-bad interface for HD. Right now, we’re using DVCProHD which is at about 100-110, so the 145MXF handles it just fine. No need to use 220 (8-bit) or 220X (10-bit) with DVCProHD. That would be like setting a glass of wine into a 5-gal bucket and telling your client they bought 5 gallons of wine.
– It doesn’t cost as much as a DS Nitris

What I don’t like:
– At v2.1.5, it’s still a baby chicken in an incubator. Lotsa hang-ups, video card flubs, trouble with live plugging in/out of USB and Firewire devices, occasional diarrhea with 3rd party programs, …
– My Meridian Media Composer 9000 from 1999 runs better.
– So did my old Mazda 2200
