But it can’t create proxies from FCPX Camera Archive contents. This even though the files are ProRes (from Blackmagic cameras). Basically it can’t see inside the Camera Archive.

[John Davidson] “To a bigger point, if your current organization method consists of having to mount and open every single camera archive you’ve created in 5 years to find a single shot,”

Just to be clear, I just need proxy clips of my camera archives (FCPX). KFP doesn’t create proxies of such regardless of codec. At that point I’d only need to mount what I need to use. Again CATDV does this so I’d how KeyFlow Pro would do the same.

[John Davidson] “FCPX is better suited to preview FCPX Camera archives.
“

Which isn’t very helpful when you have to search through 5 years worth of them to find material. Something a media asset management should be able to do.

CatDV can read FCPX Camera Archives. XDCAM family is supported the Calibrated plugins. Granted it costs a bit but at least it’s integrated.

Perhaps my concerns are not common but it can’t read FCPX Camera Archives. The contents are not understood as video. It also can’t see XDCAM EX and XAVC-L clips as video. While it can see the contents of AVCHD as video, it doesn’t use the metadata to join the clips.

When feeding the EX1R have you tried adjusting the gain out of the wireless mic receiver or the mic input gain on the EX1R? If you look at the recorded sound in an audio program can you see if it’s a particular frequency?
It’s quite possible that your preamp setting is amplifying some harmonic of a carrier frequency that would normally be masked. Without seeing a sound analysis it’s hard to know.

[gabriel barrandeguy] “i can’t make it work in 4k using SDI output”

The x70 does not send 4k over SDI, only HDMI.

Telestream ScreenFlow can record iOS screens. Device must have a Lightening connector, not the older dock connector. It can export ProRes 4444 for editing in a professional NLE although it does have some interesting editing features.

It explains why an encoder chooses a level and what you can do to influence that.

Perhaps you think it’s just the freelancers who are complaining

“These late and lower payments have often prevented Harmon from paying both her rent and tuition at her son’s private school on time. Four years ago, she had to pull her son, now twelve, from private school and place him in public school.

Drama critic and writer Randy Gener is owed payment from several publications. After being assaulted in January 2014, he had to undergo four surgeries and extensive hospitalization. Lack of payment means that he cannot pay for those surgeries or ambulance fees of over $3,700.”

Wanna bet it’s the landlords, utility companies, hospitals and banks who are doing the complaining and probably having an even bigger political influence.

If a city has one million people who can’t pay their bills it’s the people THEY pay that aren’t collecting. You think the politicians care about the freelancers? Nope, they’re making sure the bill collectors get paid by passing this.
