Just another thought – in regard to ProRes – it seems to work OK at 2k when using Color.

We are not using Redalert in our workflow, the ‘telecine/redalert’ people are converting the 4k & 2k/ DPX into Uncomp QT wrapped files for us to work with.

Thank you all for the advice.

I am reluctant to go the RAID array route when we already have a huge one hooked up to a fast fibre connection. It would be great to utilise that for disk cache some how.

Our 4 cores are all fairly new so I can’t see us getting an octi-core any time in the next year or so.

When using a proxy – do you still work in with the 4/2k resolution? I assume the key will still hold correctly etc etc (I’m not the creative – just the technical guy hah)

The CS3 network rendering looks so clumsy when compared to our Qmaster/FCP workflow. I will look into Nucleo – I assume you require CS3 licenses on all machines (we only have 3 CS3 machines)

Again, thanks for the assistance.

Failing setting the option in compressor – you can always use something like MPEG streamclip to multiplex the files.

Hi All –

Just to confirm I have installed this update on 4 of our machines. (2 Mac Pro, 1 MBP, 1 G4) and it enabled Open GL on all.

Ram preview is still working fine for me.

Cheers

Hi Jerry –

What a great app. Thanks for that.

Yeah – I’d rather have the tape also but it is our old showreel logo that only exists as MPEG2 plus a bunch of historical files that are on Beta SP tapes that are frame-drop central.

Cheers again for your help.
