I did the travel thing with a 17in and hated it. Often times I would be editing on the plane and it was very painful to carry. I would suggest picking up a 15in retina, and use the USB3 ports, carry two drives and call it a day. Thats what im doing now.

I do about 10 chromakey videos a month using this setup. It works good…but as I said I want to be better!
I had a spare gel lying around and saw the [G] (green) shoot way up on the scope….so I’m purchasing gels now. I just want to be able to have a better key.

Yes! Don’t forget firewire.
Sign into Ustream, plug your firewire camera in and it should be read with their little java applet.
The Panasonic HVX work well. I have used them for a corporate gig a few times live streaming over the network with wirecast and using my Matrox for the sony ex HD streams. You could anamorphic or stretch the panasonics to make it look 16:9 if needs be since they are 4:3.

Ive got a 64gb card its a class 10 by Transcend and it doesn’t work. I am with tech support now. Funny thing is I have a few transcends that work fine and are class 6 or 8. 🙁

I’d be happier when the Scarlet comes to fruition because I’d finally get to spend the allocated funds on the camera, Its just a waiting game for me, one that I wish would end. I love working with new technology, and workflows. It also helps me to become more marketable being able to be flexible and knowledgable about whats out there. I will salivate and drool till it/if comes out, and thus I return to my editing cave muahahahah

Hi Simon,
I had it set up as Bob suggested and then tried it and worked great. I then tore it apart and set it up how I originally had it it to see if it was the CPU that was bogging me down and sure enough it was. I got my answer and I appreciate your input Simon, I literally was thinking about this all week.

The transport wasn’t a problem being under the 100MB range it was the encoding of the ProResHQ that was killing it. I also tried 10bit Uncompressed and got a little further then the ProRes but it dropped frames cause of the processor and I imagine bandwidth to some extent. Anyways I am using ProRes as the codec now.

Now, if RED would just release the Scarlet already i’d be even happier 🙂

Bob I agree with you in so many ways, ex. when it comes to hiring professionals for professional jobs. That being said, I took your advice and hooked the macpro to my macbookpro and my i7. works, and works great.

My curiosity though still remains about the Pro Res Codec HQ. I read the white papers on Apple Pro Res from 2007 and 2010 I believe, and I still cant come to a reasonable conclusion why the network couldn’t handle the transfer.

Is this question too difficult to answer (no disrespect, just maybe i’m over simplifying it)

How could a higher bitrate format transfer over the network with ease while a lower bitrate format be unsuccessful ? In this case Pro Res HQ vs Uncompressed 8bit

Ok I am stumped.
I did some testing and maybe you can provide some insight as to why the uncompressed 8bit has a higher data rate and works fine versus the ProRes HQ which is lower.

Worked
Pro Res 422 1080p @ 30fps = 147.81Mbit/s
Uncompressed 8bit 1080p @ 23.98 = 797.89Mbit/s
Pro Res LT 422(LT) 1080p @ 30fps = 147.81Mbit/s

Didn’t work
Pro Res 422 HQ 1080p @ 30fps = 249.22Mbit/s

Thanks Bob,

I appreciate your answer, I figured it was obviously a network issue. My question was can I record HQ to the drives, but I guess the answer is no. I have it hooked up and I can share the drives and play HQ on the both computers at once at 220Mbit/s but I cant record longer than 2seconds. I do have 3 macs at my desk and could use the MacPro as a server, but is it worth the extra effort…no. Im going from an sony ex codec to a Apple Pro Res codec…I should just be happy with what I’ve achieved so far.

Camera HD-SDI ->MX02 HD-SDI in->to computer->Capture software of choice->compositing software of your choice.
