That’s the problem with the 2 partitions scenario — you can’t use any application that’s on the unopened partition. To easily move from Avid to After Effects and also from Final Cut to After Effects, you need to install After Effects/CS3/CS4/Photoshop/whatever in both partitions. Or you have to reboot to whichever parition has the application you need to work with.

I found that unworkable, so I have both Avid 3.1 and FCS2 on the same partition using QT 7.5.5. I block the updater from automatically installing any updates without my permission. I’ll keep an eye on compatibility reports and update QT only when it is safe to do so for the Avid. So far, so good.

The Nitris DX has component I/O for SD or HD, so there’s no need to get a separate component to SDI converter for the deck.

Thanks for the reply. I’m doing an SD edit because in addition to the Varicam we’ll have tons of other footage in 1080p HDCAM. I won’t have the storage for handling all that, or the access to the HD decks for logging and capturing.

Do you know what flavor of pulldown the AJHD1400 creates in a downconvert — is it standard 2:3 or advanced?

Thanks.
