You would expect low number of sales if the item are high priced, not the other way around I believe, if Resolve for Mac would be $30K they will also expect low numbers of sales, now, why are the panels so high priced, that’s another story, inherited inventory probably? They have to come down at some point.

Regarding Avid, I don’t know why they haven’t realized yet that they need to open up to third party video cards, like a Kona or BM, however, I just discovered that Pro Tools does PCIe video out only through a BlackMagic card, go figure.

There’s a post where Grant complains why Smoke uses a Kona instead of BM, when at the same time Resolve doesn’t support Kona, they said it will eventually, now the rumors are don’t hold your breath, I’ll believe it when I see it.

Going back to the panels, if I have to choose between buying a Prius or the panels, I think I’ll go for the Prius and stick with the Wave.

I have absolutely no doubt the DaVinci panels are superb, but, realisitically, aren’t they a bit overpriced?
Specially in this economy where is hard to sell even on eBay, we’re talking about a panel that costs more than an average car.
Could it really attract more clients to the point of paying itsel offf, and how much a price increase should you do if you offer that?

if you can afford it, I would get Automatic Duck to import the avid project into Final Cut, and export an AAF instead of EDL.

Nevermind, there is actually no log to lin lut, we have to provide our won

Thanks so much for taking the time to ask Blackmagic about this.
I will test it tonight

Thanks again!

Did you tell Resolve to split segments when applying the edl?
I wonder if that doesn’t work, maybe duplicate the video file in FCP and add a different reel number, and use those two to overlap in the dissolves?

Actually no, curves had the same effect, when I modify a red channel, for example, if you look at the scopes you’ll see the green and blue change accordingly as well, just like using the trackballs

I’ve been looking for the 42 pro Panasonic plasma but all I get is Viera, is this what we’re talking here? Is there a link, or a specific product number?
Also, can it properly handle 24 fps?

It seems like it’s design issue to accommodate the Mac Pros 2009/10, I used something similar in my first gen intel, but instead of having one drive, I had two, all fitting in the lower bay, and I noiced that for other models other than 2009/10 you can do that with OWC.
I’m going to sacrifice my internal DVD drive and add an extra drive mounted with OWC, and use an external DVD instead.
I’d rather have a 5 drive raid than 4.

Got it, thanks a lot!!!
