I’ve no financial interest in any of them.

Agree with you about Prem, shame you’ve not tried Liquid it is (was) marvellous.

Ah I hadn’t realised it was that easy. I thought he’d have to view in QT player and loose the TC.

Thanks

Alan

[Alan Lacey]

Thanks XDcam-guy I’ll give it a go.

Any ideas how to handle the TC?

Alan

[Alan Lacey]

I still use it. Espescailly for roto – I’m no expert but Commotion still does today what I bought it for years ago. Yes I’ve got AE and Combustion but Commotion still rocks for me.

I’ve just acquired Shake now after the price drop – bought for good slomo which FCP is particularly lame at, so it’ll be good to see if Shake is any better at my Commotion needs.

Surely gops have got to come into it at some stage Nigel, the output format is mpeg2.

Hi Nigel,

I agree with all that you’ve written, problem is I need WA and a good 1/2 glass is going to cost me more than I can afford presently. Also I’m not sure I’d want to spend that sort of money on 1/2 inch anyway.

Totally aggree about the XDCam workflow, I’ve thought this through thoroughly and it’ll be perfect for me. To date I’ve been Liquid Silver based (to uncompressed) since it’s first inception about 6-7 years ago as ‘601’ and love the software – have you tried it? In many ways it knocks the socks off FCP (although I say that as a relative FCP newbie) My move to FCP was forced by the Avid takeover of Pinnacle as I’m sure they’ll kill it off eventually.

A collegue has recently taken delivery of his HVX200 and we’re currently working on a project combining footage from a pro Ikegami camera, his HVX and my F350 so it’ll be interesting to see how these stack. We’ll probably finish on my FCP box (DVCProHD codec) but he’s a PPro man and I may leave it to him.

The 350F is almost perfect for me, 2/3inch would be better and nice it it could do SD IMX50 as I do a lot of keying and will be doing SD work for a long time to come but for the money I think it’s a great move forward for me.

You’re a genius Nate – right on BOTH counts.

The cam was an ex demo so I guess I assumed the button cell was installed. I’m relieved to hear it’s my incompetence rather than a ‘feature’ of the 350.

Cheers Nate

[Alan Lacey]

I’d still be interested in this possible workflow too, as I sometimes work in the DVCProHD codec.

Anyone out there doing it this way, or transcoding the MXF files after import?

Also does anyone know of a way to stop the TC generator restarting at 00:00:00:00 every time the F350 is powered down?

Alan

[Alan Lacey]

Nate, what a service and so quick – many thanks for such a trivial question.
