    If you load the media that is offline in the viewer does it give you a reference TC at the top of the window?

    Bob is right in the post below. Everything is RT until you add stuff that will bring you into the render bar. Drop shadows will put you into the red in a moment. When I just started stacking boxes I got 9 or ten layers of DV. I have not tried any ten bit, but I would expect its at least two or three if not more depending on the complexity.

    There are people who would argue that FCP is only ever giving you an RT preview and that everything needs to be rendered (even the ful, light green line RT stuff) It’s nice to have the speed for proofing stuff really quickly.

    I say this often but it is true. Ever since the advent of computer based non liniar editing there is one thing that has remained from quadra series Macs to the G5. At some point in my day I am looking at a render bar as it crawls from left to right on my screen. The faster they get the more we push them.

    It’s odd.

    I captured 23.98 via FCP.

    When I open this footage in AE COMP

    AE sees/reads the footage as 23.976.

    The weight is because this is a hardwall bag. It’s got a portabrace look but it is made better. I always carry it on. I like having the rugged bag because when you are travelling stuff is always going in and out of cars, vans, airplanes (carry on only) and I wanted something substantial to protect my investment.

    I am sure if you check in your area there is a dealer that carries them and you can check it out before you buy.

    I have the 4210.

    It gives me about 10 layers of rt in DV.

    I do not know what card you are using for HD but it will only give you one stream of HD with a KONA 2. This is a limitaion of the driver and not the hardware.

    The Drive pulls about 380MB/sec when it is 80%full.

    Nice product. Sturdy, two power supplies. Pretty darned quiet and built for performance.

    Yes,

    The U-Bag PCUB-1. This is the one I use for the DVX-100A.

    Thanks,

    Panny recomends their tape and I have never had any problems with their mastering series tape. I have had problems using other brands. Use their claning cassettes as well.

    Tape is cheap so I never buy cheap tape.

    i use this petrol case

    https://www.dvshop.ca/camera/petrolbags.html

    The second one down.

    it is a fanatastic case because it fits the camera perfectly. Fits in carry on, and it soft but rigid and tough enough for travelling.

    well worth the investment.
