I’ve actually talked to an Avid Assurance support guy about this and he said the reason it takes a while is that it’s looking for timecode within the file, not just the whole file as when you first import the clip. He said the latest MC release (2.7) may improve things a little. Unfortunately that release is not yet approved for HP8000

This is basically what we attempted at our facility (except firewire instead of ethernet). The import of proxy material was fast. It was the batch import of the portions of the hi rez material used in the cut that took forever. I wonder how they got it to go so fast at the demo you saw.

Paul,
I was looking into this for possible multiple future events with this client – which haven’t materialized as of yet. The solution we will probably go with is 3 Pioneer V7400 Pro DVD players (Half-rack size with RS232 and blackburst) and a synchronizing box from Dave Jones Design – the DVD Play 3BN. I’ve talked with a company in Minneapolis that used this setup with flawless results. The Dave Jones box sends blackburst and RS232 to the decks so that they start together and stay synced.

Markyyy,
I am intrigued by your second solution. Can you tell me a little more? What resolution was your Quicktime file? If you ran that full screen, was it 4:3 aspect to start with then? Did splitting this screen into 3 give you 3 squeezed-looking outputs? Maybe I misunderstand?
Thanks,
Bryan

Is the black border, surrouding a just white, like the leader? It would be easy to make a inverted track matte that way.
If not, it will take a little work but you will need to isolate the black borders. My recipe for doing that is to invert the border color channel so they are white. Apply Knoll unmult to it(used to be a free download, but not sure where to get it now). Then apply adjust levels, switch to alpha, and tweak to preference.
Apply this over a black solid and you should have your borders.
Cheers.
