Thanks Tom & Cliff for sharing your experiences.

I know in this day and age one “should” be able to have a single timeline
for editing, but it’s a common practice to break up long-form programs
into segments or acts for collaborative workflow and also to keep stability to a maximum.

We did a feature 2 years ago on final cut and the first thing I recommended was not
having a huge timeline that could slow things down. Everyone I know that has worked
this way has had less or no stability issues regardless of nle working this way.
Not dis-agreeing with you, just sharing my experience.

I have one of the first made, Black Magic Multibridge-Extreme (now legacy) SDI/Analog
interfaces. It works perfectly fine with premiere cs 5.5 in my experience. oddly
I’ve had more difficulty with my Kona LH-e in premiere than the black-magic I/O.

Thanks for sharing that Jim.

It should help to know that Adobe is “working on it” as far as supporting other
Radeon chipsets. That was quoted from an Adobe programmer on the RED forum.
There was a rather loud complaint there too for wider OpenCL support of Radeon cards.
And rightfully so!

They were a bit short on time to implement everything they wanted to with the reworking
of speedgrade and encore 64-bit rewrite and all the user request changes to premiere.

I only hope these updates are implemented in a free update and not a charged CS 6.5 upgrade.

I have a Quadro 4000 and for what it’s worth, every penny of the $ 800 I paid was
money well spent. The ability to key out greenscreen with Ultrakeyer and watch it playback
un-rendered in real time was mind blowing cool. This was on an 8-core mac with CS 5.5

Jim, are a you a mac beta tester or did you see the mac version
at NAB failing in some way?

What have you seen/experienced with CS 6 MAC to say this?

I have noticed all the demonstrations appear to be on the pc version.

Adobe would be making a huge mistake if CS 6 MAC doesn’t run smoothly/in parity
with the pc version.

if you have the presets and the drivers installed and
you’re not getting it to pass through on use of a kona
sequence, you should email or call aja support.

they respond quickly.

[Chris Borjis]

I hear ya Eric.

I know you’d dig these features too! 🙂

I’m optimistic that they’ve finally done it
right after the 64-bit re-write of the software.

And listening to the user base.

[Chris Borjis]

David, are you choosing a kona sequence when you open premiere?

[Chris Borjis]

I sure hope so.

but isn’t bridge making way for prelude as the logging tool?

[Chris Borjis]

for starters what HD-SDI output card do you have?

[Chris Borjis]

kenn can you open the eps in photoshop and save it as a .psd?

cs 6 might handle eps files better, but I know cs 5.5 should
have no problem if you save it as a .psd.

just a workaround to help you get going….

[Chris Borjis]

what I love the most Tom, is not having to waste time transcoding
footage and resizing huge image files (things fcp couldn’t deal with)

that and the ultrakeyer have enabled possibilities and time saving
the likes I’ve never known.

CS 6 is going to take it up a notch in a huge way as you know! 🙂
