Ah. So this is a trick it cannot turn. A shame.
However not everyone shoots off speed material and there are plenty of workflows the Ki Pro seems right for. Just not ours.
Would have been nice.

yeah…i hate open gl
anyway dual quadcore 3.0ghz xeons and 8GB of ram…and for whatever reason the thing feels sluggish
we “upgraded” our machines to nvidia 3500s/3700s and they seem less responsive than before

Walter. If you don’t mind. Lets explore this a bit further. Would be helpful for me to get your opinion.
1-Regarding LCD monitors. We use two professional varieties around here the Panasonic BT-LH1700W and JVC 24D. The panny is just OK off angle and is 720p. The JVC is horrible off angle but awesome on angle is a 1080p.
So. It seems that some consumer sets actually do as good or better of a job off angle. Of course with a 40 inch set the geometry is a little different with a larger “cone” of sweetness.
Other than I/O flexibility would you think there are any other caveats to using good consumer LCDs? Delay or sync issues due to processing versus the NLE timeline or professional monitor used by editor?
Do you think it is possible to get a consumer set close on color? Heck the Samsung has blue check.
2-I do love the Panasonic Pro Plasmas because of their I/O flexibility. And the price is right. However we sort of think we need to go 1080p because we can see delivering in that format soon. Most of our work for broadcast is 720p with some 1080i. But corporate guys and direct to DVD folks may start pushing for 1080p.
The smallest 1080p pro plasma is 50 inches, which is too big for the viewing distances in most of our suites (8 to 12 feet). 37 to 42 inch would be perfect.
So a few questions. How do you feel your plasmas handle 1080i sources? Ever view 1080/24p on them? Any artifacts due to scaling?
Any delay compared to the pro monitors? How do you feel about color calibration?
Some of these LCDs now claim contrast ratios and bit depth greater than the pro plasmas.
Any opinion on pro panels with 1024×768 resolution?
Thanks for your time.

Oh yeah…we use blurs to calm stuff down but sometimes you would have to apply too heavy of a blur to solve the issue. And it does not solve the problem with glows and strokes
Plus I don’t think this is interlace related I think this is due to AE redrawing the font after each little scaling movement…scale…draw…scale…draw…scale…draw. And then effects are applied downstream of this.

We have used the panny 1200 and 1400 HD in various configurations with our Adrenalines with no problems.
HOWEVER I strongly advise you use rs-422 deck control and sdi input instead of firewire. You may also consider transcoding to one of Avids DNX codecs rather than staying HD100.

Jeremy,
Thanks. My only reservation with the 20L5 is dropping 3500.00 on a USED monitor. Otherwise it is our first choice.
Curious to hear some feedback on Iki and JVC.

What deck are you using? What camera was it shot with?
Some Panasonic decks have the ability to cut or add setup. It also depends on how it was recorded as some Panasonic cameras give you options to add setup for DV25. This can be confusing at times.

I want to thank Sam for posting those settings again. They really worked and helped me get a job done. THANKS.

Perfect.
Had a feeling someone had been there and done that.

Yes. I have added one camera and tweaked some settings. Unable to figure out how to duplicate the position, angle and field of view of the just the after effects default view (without adding a camera).
Yes, I know I should of added a camera first, but this started out as a 2D comp which sort went of in other direction.
So, just trying to add a camera which matches the “no camera” default view of AE.
