what setting do you have in video preview under sequence setting if you were to playback 1080psf @ 23.976 DnxHD ??

I have a ProAvio / LSI sas Raid (800Mb/s), Flanders 2461 and Panny Pro 50” pannel, 0 frame delay on external monitor. As i said playback is tight and ”what i see is what i get” on all system (Mac and PC) with AJA via Avid, Autodesk Smoke and even FCPX with the exception of Premiere CS6.

I just freelance at a studio with Avid and CS6. All running on Z820 and AJA. PP Playpack on all their system is just as flaky as mine!

1-I’m using a Quadro 4000. Yes i have the latest driver

2-Yes running CS6.0.3 with the latest AJA and Adobe driver

Maybe what is acceptable for most people is still considered ”not good enough” for me as i do mostly online so it’s very important that what i see is what i get, unfortunately, it’s definitely not the case with Adobe and 3rd party capture card such as AJA and BM.

The same playback is rock solid in Media Composer and what i see on the reference monitor is exactly what’s on my source file or what i would see as final print.

yes, latest driver..10.4.1.

There’s definitely a major bug with Aja TV 10.4.1 and mountain lion on a Macbook pro 2012. I tried it with Premiere CS6 and it works fine. Unfortunately, it was intended to be used as a portable play out system with AJA TV.

i guess no one uses the Ki pro rack as play out.

Actually, not true….after further testing i found that 1280×1080, 29.97 (24P) means 29.97 with a 24p look….so one must output as interlaced 29.97. Talk about confusing all these dumb thin raster p2 format!!!!

No answers from other forum…that

Motion will install the Prores codec and it will be available to other QT apps.

i use Encore for simple authoring for client to take home but i would never dare using it for replication and i still stand by my post as it’s still NOT 100 % compliant and also missing lots of features that i get asked on a daily basis.

As for DVD-Logic…i used it a while back but it does not offer nearly the same features as DoStudio, just compare with DoStudio and you’ll understand why it’s ”cheaper”. You must compare apple for apple 🙂

Here’s just a few….

Managed Copy support
BD-J Support
BD-Live Support
BDCMF Support
Sony CMF Formatting
AACS Support

and i’m not including sound format like DTS-HD, Dolby true HD that is either not supported or buggy as hell.

If you can find a BD authoring app offering the same features as listed above, that actually works as advertised, BD compliant and cheaper than DoStudio…then you are my hero as don’t we all love cheaper alternative.

Cheers!

I exchange big sessions between PP mac and PC all the time. If you’re careful about how you media manage your workflow, it should be pretty painless.

I just finish editing/online 10 documentaries, shot in various format and codec. All the footages are duplicated on two different Raid, one residing in my studio and the other on my Peragus R6 along with my portable rig. I can edit at my client’s house, send the PP session directly to my studio’s rig via ftp and open the same session for finishing.

On a side note, XML between PP and FCP is not bad at best. Unless, you only do straight cuts, there’s way too much information that does not carry across properly.
