October 28, 2009 at 2:15 pm in reply to: manually LOW-RESING HD footage for smoother playbackYou can use Compressor to do this.
You can either set a default setting and location and then drag all of your rushes into Compressor, or you can make a droplet and drag the files onto that in the finder.
Either way, they’ll all be encoded to the same place with he same settings.
You’ll want to modify the preset to change the speed from 30fps to 29.97 fps. Compressor can do this frame for frame if you choose the proper option in the “Frames” tab.
Refer to the PDF manual in Compressor’s Help menu for more details.

[Scott Sheriff] “I would respectfully disagree with Arnie on the subject of reusing miniDV”
Well, as long as you’re respectful! Except that we don’t disagree. Perhaps I was just being too pithy?
I meant that SP and DV should be reused less, not that they were less prone to problems from reuse.

digiBeta tapes can be reused several times with no adverse effect. Beta SP and miniDV, less so. Just make sure that you do a little more QA after you lay off to the reused tape.

BTW, I have an Areca 1120 card that I’m very happy with. For a Mac Pro, you’d look at their 1600 series cards.

[Eric Mueller] “I realize that I probably won’t go wrong with either one,”
Bad assumption.
[Eric Mueller] “if anyone has experienced anything (good or bad) that would influence their purchase decision a second time ’round. “
Someone posted in the last week or 2 about their bad experience with that Highpoint card. Search the COW for “rocketraid” and “Highpoint”.
My own experience with an earlier HP card was bad enough that I’d never look at their products again.

I think you’ve answered your own question right there.

That’s really not a sound effect. That’s a music cue. A few music collections have these small kinds of musical stings and hits for different uses, and some SFX collections have them as well.

October 26, 2009 at 6:33 pm in reply to: Proper quicktime format for exporting from Avid into FCPWhat Shane said.
I’ve found that there can be gamma shifting and an elevated pedestal with the 8 bit DNxHD codecs, but the 10 bit seems to work perfectly.

October 23, 2009 at 8:08 pm in reply to: ProRes HQ 24fps + Other Formats in Same SequenceI don’t see a problem using Cinema Tools to conform the 23.98 to 24. You can get away with that for the 25, as well.

I like Conduit. It’s actually a fairly good compositing system.
My personal preference, though is to pull my keys using either Keylight or Primatte in Shake. You can still get Shake, but it’s getting hard to find.
