BCC Lens Flare. Not ‘Advanced’.
What format would you like to see in the example I’d send?

Marvelous! What are we having?
Thanks.

Your assumption is correct, Peter. Thank you for replying. I’ve applied the BCC Lens Flare running BCC 4 directly onto DV50 MXF media. This clip began life as DV50 P2 media. I earlier tried applying the BCC filter in a blank section above the clip as well, with the same result. As a test, a Noise Industries “Lenticular Halo” applies nicely.

Peter, (and everyone else…)
Please disregard the previous post. Jon is taking great care of me. I’m downloading the .ISO he’s left for me and will be back in action, better than new in no time. Thanks to Jon, and yourself!

Peter, I gratefully accept any help on this vexing issue. Jon in Tech support posits that I could delete the 4.1 install and try running BCC AVX 4.2.2 in trial mode and then unlocking.
Where are all the 4.1 files? I moved the obvious plugins out of the ‘SupportingFiles/AVX Plug-ins’ folder, but still get the ‘not authorized’ error dialog upon Avid start-up.
Also, I can’t seem to locate a 4.2.2. trial or demo on the Boris website. Seems you’ve moved on to 5.x already.
Even a nice 4.1 .dmg file would be great. I could start from there…

Greetings Peter,
Thanks for your interest and concern. I contacted Boris on Monday, both online and by phone, regarding a funky BCC 4.1 installer CD. No big deal. As you read, I had upgraded and was stuck at the request for the 4.1 installer. I don’t believe a pay-as-you-go event charge would even apply in this case. I’ve been around video production since 1978, so am pretty well-vetted, software and tech-wise. Just needed some help with the 4.1 CD that I owned that was not being cooperative.
I waited for Boris to contact me. No joy. So Tuesday I contacted them again, via web tech support request and via phone message. Still no joy. So this is my first ‘extra-Boris’ whining session. Shouldn’t have to go outside Boris. But they were not answering the door. That’s all I’m saying…

Just heard from Jon at technical support via email. Within an hour of this previous post. Whatever the cause, I’m grateful for the response.
The post was rather shrill, but I really don’t like that helpless feeling that results from having no way to talk to anyone regarding these simple issues… even an acknowledgment of my request stating that they were buried with support stuff would be better than a brick wall. I’m buried sometimes myself, and I get that.
I’m better now.

Gentlemen, in my experience neither Sorensen or Compressor generates a genuine 4:2:2 color space MPEG stream… unless the .02 Compressor update changed something. I went around with the Sorensen tech regarding their implementation of 4:2:2 for about a week. Seems he was the last tech working there (so he said) and was unable to clarify why the choice for that format existed in the software but was not operative.
Episode rocks, as far as I can tell. Just bought the Flash extension yesterday for some web work. Very nice. I am a DG DropBox certified house because of Episode.

just sent a test using your settings this evening. We’ll see how we do!

it’s billnelson@nelsonmedia.com
It’s not the levels that DG’s griping about. The Main Concepts files I send are really crappy to see! The Avid outputs a 720×486 signal, so that’s where things start to fall apart. They’ve asked me to export the MPEG-2-compliant size, but I’m pretty sure I can crop top and bottom (like in BitVice). Thanks for your kind assistance.
