Thank you.

[David Eells]

Not bad. Thanks for that. Now can you make me believe that Production Services knows what they’re doing?

[David Eells]

Thanks – no I never use openGL. My graphics card is GeForce FX 5200, and I’m pretty sure I’ve used this in the past. Turns out I can put the effect on a color solid, but not on anything else.

No, this could be seen on the canvas and browser. I went so far as to capture a clip once using SDI and once using FireWire to illustrate the phenomenon. It was pronounced.

I’m in the new building on Guest St. I’ll be here for an hour, then back later tonight.

call me at 300-4267

Hey Alisa

Are you in the new building? Working on ID? You could try walking down to my suite. I’ve got a Blackmagic card.

Gary –

Good idea. I’ve posted in BMD forum and am waiting to hear.

Hi Gary

Thanks for wandering into my nightmare. I’m actually working on a Final Cut system serviced by people who only know Avids. It’s a long format piece that was started by another team (in all likelihood using FireWire but we’re not allowed to ask). My tech support is determined to come in through SDI, have never seen a Blackmagic card, but are coming along slowly. So I’m a mechanic repairing a car as it speeds down the highway.

Fun!

Well, there was definitely some voodoo going on there, but it wasn’t that – I checked the motion attributes and they were all normal, and scale was 100%. I’m off today, so I can’t do any more checking. There are just too many hands on the equipment.

The image appeared to capture normally, had the correct dimensions and aspect, but the subject’s head was cut off slightly, as were the edges – as if the picture had been expanded. When captured, the image sat on the timeline, no render needed. It matched the sequence settings, but there was a loss of information around the edges.
