Creative, I know 😉

and I follow you on twitter, so I’ll be watching 😉

Small tip to speed up your workflow — hold down alt/option while dragging the file into a bin. This will AMA link the file instead of the traditional import.

OSX displays ONLY support 8 bit output. That is universal, hard and fast.
If you use a 10 bit video I/O product, the 10 bits are properly displayed on whatever output device it routs to. However, whenever you view something on your OSX monitor it will be 8 bit. That is a limitation of OSX.
I don’t know all the details of your setup, but I know this much is true.

Edit: misread —
Fast export is basically Avid exporting out the same format as the project settings. It can re-use rendered elements, etc, to build your quicktime file.

[Michael Phillips] “I thought that it would be with DX, the question may be with third party hardware. “
With my home system with an AJA T-Tap, I don’t even have this Settings > Video Output menu item. So, it’s definitely not possible within MC’s settings. I’ll have to check if the AJA control panel enables such an item.

[Michael Phillips] “A Blackmagic Teranex may be able to do this in real time as an I/O from MC… Something to try. Can you not get a 59.94 signal from your Avid MC with DX hardware now? Or does Avid still consider that to be Universal Mastering and requires Symphony?
“Funny thing, I happen to be in front of a DX MC 5.5 system right now. When I make a 1080p/23.98 project, my settings > video output > cross convert settings do indeed show a 1080i 5994 option that I can enable. So… I guess it is possibe.

[Michael Phillips] “You can always go to a deck at 23.976p and then let it do the 59.95 output as a master to another deck – is this what you mean by 23.98 mixdown workaround?”
That answers it exactly. So, in theory could you chain two decks together, relegating the first deck to make a 23.98p master, but also output a 59.94i signal into the second deck, thereby also making a broadcast version?

[Michael Phillips] “ou can open your 23.976 sequence in a 59.94 project and it will have 2:3 added to each clip. but it’s cadence will not be continuous from event to event “
Interesting. Do you Michael, by any chance, if there are any decks that receive a 23.98 signal, but can record to tape at 59.94i DF?
Just curious if there is a hardware workaround to creating a 23.98 mixdown, that’s all.

I thought I would revisit this thread, since now the news has official broke.
The new Redcine-X will support OpenCL and CUDA. OpenCL is supposed now, while CUDA support will come in October. One interesting note is that “CUDA we see a further boost in performance,” stated directly from the RED website.
