[Steve Connor] “Sounds a bit like a personal attack though?”
True, enough, but the point is that in the face of such a massively inflamatory and ignorant statement, a little bit of a calling a spade a spade is justified. If I’ve offended anyone I’ll re-phrase:
“What an ignorant, inflammatory statement. I bet that person either doesn’t know what they’re talking about or is a troll.”

[Herb Sevush] “[Floris van Eck] “To me, it makes Premiere and Avid look like a toy.”
Hyperbolic overstatement.”
I hate to say it, Herb, but yours is a hyperbolic understatement. He, she, it, is obviously as clueless as they come. And I don’t mean that as a personal attack, merely as a statement of fact.

[Lance Bachelder] “Premiere Pro users gotta love this thing!”
Maybe some will. For any serious work it’s too underpowered with a single Xeon, limited slots, and no Thunderbolt. I suppose HP is thinking more graphics workstation than editing.

The Mother of Invention can be quite a ditsy bitch.

[Walter Soyka] “Yes. Unless you’re using uncompressed preview settings, Premiere Pro will add a generation of compression to preview files on output.”
Which, (using a 10 or 12 bit uncompressed codec for previews), is exactly the optimum way to work with minimum loss on final output. But quite frankly, in my experience the use of most high bit rate codecs for previews yield undetectable loss on output in most situations.

I believe Lance has stated that he was on CS3 beta. At that time I recall that he was a passionate supporter of it…when it was still a very immature NLE.
Plus ca change… 🙂

I can confirm that Canon 4:2:2 files work natively in PrPro CS5+.

[Jeremy Garchow] “[Herb Sevush] “In PPro why would you want to make proxy files? (not being argumentative, just trying to understand.) What’s the advantage of Proxies if you can edit natively?”
It depends on your workflow. For instance, I just got off a shoot were we shot 4kHD Epic R3Ds and Alexa ProRes 444 LogC.
This footage will need to live a few different computers, there’s a desktop machine were it will finish and a few laptops. Most of the initial cuts are done here in house, then at some point we will take a laptop over to the clients (as it’s much easier for them for us to go over there) and then fine tune the final edits before coming back here for finish and output for broadcast. Having a lightweight Proxy workflow makes this doable. The Alexa footage can pretty much be handled natively on a laptop, even with a LogC to video filter on all the footage. The red Footage has been transcoded to ProResLT. If we wanted to move even faster, I would bake a 709 LUT in to the Alexa clips, but things seem to be OK with the 444 material.”
I gather then, that what Jeremy really meant to say is that proxies may be desirable in PrPro when working in conjunction with other, less native capable, systems. Neither Red nor Alexa material require them, that I’m aware of…though I’m not sure about Alexa Raw. Maybe Dennis R. can address that.

[Angelo Lorenzo] “I was all excited until I saw the $999 price tag”
I don’t know where you got 999$. I see the VisLM-H plugin for 449$ on their site.

[Mark Morache] “nd is there ever any hope to see GPU acceleration in my MBP with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M?”
Though Dennis probably can’t say this as he works for Adobe there’s a fairly simple way to enable GPU accelleration in most CUDA enabled nVidia chips. Look around, it’s all over the net. I enabled it for my 330M graphics chip in my Asus i7 notebook and it works like a charm – what’s needed is >768 MB of vram and enough CUDA cores to make it worthwhile. That said, without enough CPU horsepower and ram (I find the 6GB in the Asus to be the bare minimum) it won’t add up to much added editing benefit.
