I can get real clean PIPs and transition using the DV-25 codec and the RT playback set at highest quality using and old Dual Core Pentium 4 at 3.4 GHZ. I can lay down a transition with a title and it looks great. It almost looks rendered. It will only look about 5%-10% better when render. The RT looks that good in highest quality. Those who are using quad cores have posted they get realtime PIPs and transition with HD codecs from Panasonic in highest quality. Your best bet is to get a good Core 2 Dual at 2.66 or even a Core 2 Quad at 2.66 GHZ with 2 GIGS of RAM. I think even if you set your Premiere Pro timeline project to uncompressed 320 X 240 you will still get the red bar when an effect is applied but you need not drop down the resolution of the original codec to get high quality RT effects provided you have a decent computer. If you have an old single core P4 at 3.0 GHZ then the RT will not be there.
I know Grass Valley makes the JPEG 2000 cameras but I don’t think Premiere Pro support that codec as of yet. I am not sure what software does. Edius from Grass Valley will support te JPEG 2000 codec of the new Infinity Cameras. Edius has much more RT that Premiere Pro and it is indeed true RT. There is no rendering back to tape and there is no red bar or preview quality option. Everything is true realtime 100% of the time.

David,
I hear ya. I have heard of some people getting worse performance form PP CS3 than PP CS2. I think PP CS3 is a good program if set up right. After reading this I may opt for a Core 2 Quad motherboard and buy PP CS3.

I had heard even Windows XP Home Edition would make use of all 4 cores provided the software being used (Premiere, Maya, After Effects etc.) could make use of them. Is this correct? I do not want to get Vista and I heard Premiere Pro will make use of all 4 cores with the 32 bit XP OS.
I would like to think a 2.66 GHZ quad core should make the Matrox board obsolete.

That is good to know. I take it a Core 2 Quad can do a PIP using HD footage with the realtime preview mode set at highest quality.

Beta should look fine. You can hook any Beta deck up the trasmitter and get a good clean image (not a good as Digital though). My guess is that the stations system has compressed the image into MPEG so it will not take up much space on the server. I imagine some of the other footage may look better than yours because it was delivier in a medium (digtal) that was close to the MPEG 2 format. This is just a guess. You could aks what video codec is being used at the station when the Beta tapes are digitized. I doubt they use uncompressed on a server.

Edius is true RT with OHCI Fire Wire only. The hadrware just gives it a boost. Edius is very popular in Japan and Asia but they are just now starting to make a dent in the US market thanks to Grass Valley. Edius is not a high end compositng program. You can do alpha masks, PIP and transitions though but AE is your best bet for high end compositing and Special Effects. Edius just has so much RT Power to edit news clips real fast even on a laptop.

Shaun you sound worried. I have not heard of that Camera by Panasonic but I am wondering if the camera came bunded with Edius Broadcast? Panasonic was bundling Edius Broadcast with their highend Cameras at one time because it was the only software that worked well with the P2 cards. Edius also works with the Grass Valley JPEG 2000 HD cameras. I think it would be wise to invest in Edius if you use Panasonic cameras.

It is indeed true RT not just an RT preview using a laptop. You can even add effects and mix DV-50 and HD-100. You can use MPEG and uncompressed in the mix if you want.

You can get advise here but it might be wise to contact the human resources depatment at some of the post production houses in your area. They may say an A/V script is essential as well as a demo reel.

I don’t know why but I expeced 3 or 4 people to be able to chime in about Premiere Pro 1.0 VS 3.0 CS.

I have a Core 2 dual and a Nvidia 7500 video card. It is a fast system and the images look very good in Premiere Pro but Adobe even states in the manual it is a frame based preview not field base. Is this true for Premiere Pro CS3? It is my understanding that even though the PIP and box style transition look good in Premiere Pro 1.0 they are not true real time back to DV tape. Premiere 1.0 does not interlace the frames like a PAL and NTSC image should have. I imagine Premiere Pro CS 3 is the same way. I admit it looks good but it needs rendering to look it’s best. I have Edius by Canopus Canopus and that is true RT back to DV-25, DV-50 and even HD-100. Is Premiere Pro CS3 true RT back to tape provided you have a fast system? Premiere Pro 1.0 is not? That is what I am asking more or less.
