If on Windows Nugen makes a VST plugin that measures ITU 1770 loudness. It works in prPro and can be applied to dialog tracks in the Mixer.

[Dennis Radeke] “You can use Adobe Story and associate the dialog of the script to the clip(s). High quality results.”
Just to add to what Dennis has said, I’ve taken my professionally done transcripts, imported them into Story, and the associated the Story file with the interview file in PrPro. The results have been perfect….play the file and watch the transcript in the metadata panel highlight the words like a bouncing ball. Make a sub-clip and see the transcript of the sub clip highlit or highlight the section of the transcripts and make the sub clip that way. A very elegant feature of PrPro that not many are aware of, inside or outside of the Adobe ecosystem.

Well as great as it looks the camera frame is locked. If it could do it with a hand held camera interview I’d be really impressed.
Speaking of impressive Adobe tech if anyone hasn’t tried the Warp Stabilize effect in After Effects CS5.5 it can do some pretty amazing things in a few minutes that could take all day with trackers. My jerky hand held moves have often been made too smooth. I have to throttle back on the smoothing to match other shots.

[Jeremy Garchow] “You can’t have 5k 120fps camera that’s $39k, and a 4k 120fps camera for $9750.”
I don’t think he was asking for that, rather that a 3k 120 fps camera for 7-10k was what was shown at NAB and talked about by Red there, before and after, and that Scarlet’s Nov. 3 announcement was hyped by Jim as so exciting, he could hardly keep his skin on. Well, I’m sure, and to some extent it was, but for those who had been waiting on a 3k 120fps camera, based on what Red had said and done, the reveal was a major shock.
[Jeremy Garchow] “I also wonder if he’s actually used a Red to see what it can do in terms of image quality. He might not be so disappointed if he took it for what it is, instead of what it isn’t (boy does that sound familiar around here, or what???).”
I have no doubt he was aware of Red’s image quality. His disappointment may be because a) he can’t afford a fully tricked out 20k+ Scarlet, or b) he needed 120fps or c) the new form factor doesn’t work for him (the original Scarlet could work like a run & gun, this one is Epic sized, which makes it more difficult to use that way).
[Jeremy Garchow] “Shouldn’t you be taking that up with the reduser people? That forum is totally bonkers sometimes.
I agree with you about Reduser. It’s a jungle over there, and it’s hard to find the right info and you do have to machete your way through a bunch of underbrush to get to the clearing.”
The Red people are generally very responsive. But they’re not exactly Catholic in confessing their sins. As for the steamy fanboyism over there, they tacitly encourage it, though it must get tiring reading all the wows, greats, incredibles and fantastics one word posts after Jim reveals his latest tidbait of information.
Finally, and I think we’ve done this one to death, I love Red images. I think they’ve really cut a new edge in camera development and I’m looking forward to using one of their cameras in a future shoot, whenever the existing form factor suits what I’ll be doing.

[Jeremy Garchow] “What I’ve gathered is that he’s pissed because it’s not the camera Red had alluded to it being over the course of the last 3 years.”
I think that exaggerates his response and is the least part of his post which is a comparison of the power of the original spec’d Scarlet with what was announced. He argues compellingly that the original was a much more powerful camera in terms of processing power (pixels X fps) and that Jannard’s reason for the failure to produce a fixed lens Scarlet (the lens didn’t hold focus through the zoom) doesn’t hold as a reason not to produce the removeable lens version. Both of these points have not been addressed by anyone from Red. I would suggest that if he’s a little annoyed he has reason and that the substantial number of ad hominem attacks on him are just another example of the kind of technological fanboyism (really a spiritual substitution) that’s so prevalent these days. Reduser.net is the high water mark of the techno-cult, making all others, even Apple’s, pale in comparison. And that’s pretty hard to do.

[Jeremy Garchow] ” Those were his words “won’t accuse you of fraud”, “bait and switch”.”
May as well quote the whole sentence:
“RED, I will not accuse you of fraud, but this feels like bait and switch. Intentional or not, “everything is subject to change” or not, the effect is the same.”
Bit different, huh? But as it’s nuanced and he does makes sure that what he’s saying is clear later, you may want to read the whole thread…26 pages of it as of this morning.
Again, though, his post can be read for the points he makes. If you wish to dismiss him because of his expectations and ignore his points I find that rather cavalier. But each to his opinions.

The difference between 4 and 5.0, 5.5 was enormous, like night and day.

Jeremy, you’re attacking his language and sentiment (and exaggerating his meaning) rather than his points, which are worthy of consideration.
My own point of view is I’ve never taken anything Red says as written in stone so I’m only a little sad that I won’t have a 3k 120fps run and gun in my camera repetoire. And I’m sure that Red feels the same. As nice as the new Scarlet is, it’s a different form factor,

[Jeremy Garchow] “Supposedly the fixed Scarlet couldn’t hold focus so they had to scrap it. They lost all the development money.”
Then again, this person makes some interesting, if hard to dismiss, points.

” Supposedly the fixed Scarlet couldn’t hold focus so they had to scrap it. They lost all the development money.”
I’m sure they’re crying for another reason, please as well. They would have sold a lot more units at 6-8k than at 20k. The new Scarlet is still a pretty sweet deal if it fits one’s production parameters.
