@bobzellin One of the appeals of the Tolis software is that it writes an archive that does not depend on proprietary software for retrieval. All the data can be retrieved with terminal commands. Is this true of any of the products you are taking about?

Hi Tim,
I’ve been a Bru PE user for about 10 years, and am looking at the OWC LTO thunderbolt drives to mate with a new MacPro purchase. but a new MacPro will take me to Big Sur, which is strictly 62-bit. Is it possible to purchase an ArGest license at this point? Or do you have any advice for migrating to another software solution that the OWC LTO drives support?
I’m happy to take this offline if you prefer. You can email me at airstreampictures@gmail.com

well, maybe it will get magically fixed for Christmas…
If it does, i’ll personally ring some sleigh bells.

“Correct me if I’m wrong, but it sounds like no matter what, I’m going to lose my “raw” image – but maybe it doesn’t matter? If I crunch all the info such that there is no clipping and use EXR or DPX will I have the same latitude as I would with DNG but just lacking the camera RAW feautres? I suppose I’m asking if I would be losing any information this way?”
Yes. By definition, once you change the sensor data in the raw image, you no longer have a raw image. It’s OK.
You need to think about the post workflow in a kind of “develop/print” methodology. Develop the raw image to a file like exr or dpx that has enough bit depth to hold all the information, and develop the image so that you preserve all the information you want in a way that lets you do the grade that you want down the road. The final grade is the “print” part of the workflow. This, in a nutshell, is Light Iron’s theory of workflows, and it works really well. -
Yeah, the nMP limitation is worrying. Especially as I just bought aa $9K 12-core just to handle Resolve and Red Dragon footage.

“I’ve never been able to work with the built-in scopes within daVinci — I gotta have external scopes.”
Why? How do the external scopes differ from the built-in ones?
