Maybe it’s something that’s been changed in FCP 7, I don’t know – normally I’m working with smaller files. I haven’t exported, but I animated it and it renders in the timeline fine. The only problem I have now is that there’s a maximum value on the position transformation of 10,000 pixels in any direction, so I need to split more evenly, or split into thirds. If it doesn’t export I’ll probably just re-author in AE rather than splitting it into ~15 pieces. Thanks.

38,000 pixels. I was able to cut the file down to 1280×20,000 and that imports okay. The sequence is only 720p.

Sure, but even Leopard was utilizing 64-bit goodness by packaging processing up in a wrapper of sorts for it to be processed in 64-bits via Unix.
And hey, as far as I’m concerned, I’ve been taking full advantage of 64-bit computing since the marketing campaign for the G5s first began.

I read somewhere that there’s currently really no advantage to running the 64-bit kernel. The big step up for SL is that the Finder is now 64 along with most of the other main system apps.
As for Quicktime X, I believe they’ve done away with Pro and the Pro features are available to all. Hopefully the now native SL 2.2 gamma will fix the persistent gamma issues that Mac video authoring and Quicktime files have had.

Where is this hidden SATA port you speak of? Is it on the 2008 octacores?

Thanks for the reminder on the 55mm/DFT. I completely forgot about that. I wish they’d drop the activation, what a pita – as if it weren’t already bad enough doing a clean install of the OS, the 4 hour FCS intstall, the CS3 production suite install, and then all other utilities, apps, settings, licenses, etc.

I just picked up a MCE 8x for $300, it’s marketed specifically toward Macs. I have yet to install, so I can’t comment on that yet. It came with a single BD-RE disc and I purchased spindles of Maxell and Verbatim 4X BD-Rs separately.

If you’re not opposed to the YUV->RGB conversion, you could capture with the Animation codec which is RGBA. That has been the standard for working with motion graphics (still is for AE) ((hmm, does anyone know if Shake 4.1.1 can use ProRes 4444?))

Thank … You … God!
Honestly, I’m really looking forward to Grand Central and Open CL, but if they can fix the gamma issues of Quicktime then I’ll be thrilled. That would be much more useful in and of itself than any of the updates to FCP 7. I’m so tired of authoring in 1.8 w/ gamma compensation, exporting w/ gamma correction, and then verifying that the corrections are correct for rec.709 vs. H.264 on QT Mac vs. QT Windows. I’ve been running my right monitor at 2.2 to verify how images look after editing in Photoshop, and videos after export from FCP. But even then I see a great difference between images on that 2.2 monitor when viewed in OS X vs. viewed on that monitor in Windows via Fusion.

Thanks!
