From my understanding I think G-Tech’s reasoning for advertising 2K workflow is for uncompressed 2K. Red is not an uncompressed 4K camera. It shouldn’t prevent you from using G-Tech.

Houdini and SoftImage XSI both have some form of Non linear animation. Of course Houdini is much more expensive than Maxon or SoftImage and SoftImage is Windows and Linux only.

Avid won’t be at NAB but they will be at Vegas. Although they won’t have a booth doesn’t mean they aren’t releasing products. Not that I know anything of Avid’s release strategy.

Not only was Adobe working on making CS3 Vista and Mac/Intel Mac capable but they were also integrating the Macromedia products into the suite which in my mind in addition to after effects makes the suite that much more powerful with Flash. So maybe CS3 doesn’t seem to contain a whole bunch of WOW factor new featues (won’t know everything until it’s released) I still say it’s a substantial release. I 100% agree with you Vince on the competition statement.

Rob, I live in Orlando, Florida which does have quite a few Avid and Final Cut Pro shops. I know some migiht disagree, but I believe there is a stigma that PPro is stil a “prosumer” editing system and it is not. Now Apple with Final Cut Pro has done quite a bit marketing the product and somoe have said that Adobe isn’t doing enough to market PPro to a higher end editor because in many respects it is very capable. Probably the biggest lags to PPro is the memory hog problem and the ongoing media management, but in every other aspect I believe Premiere Pro is a great piece of software. I’ve actually been contacted recently concerning two projects, both with quite a bit of visual effects and I am being asked to use Adobe’s suite of tools. I did warn them of some potential pitfalls that could arise and they are willing to test it and see what happens.

I recently got myself a Mac and had to use Final Cut Pro to edit a recent video. While Premieire Pro and Final Cut Pro are very similar, I love the level of integration Adobe tools have. The only thing that somewhat intrigued me about the Apple event was not Final Cut Studio but Final Cut Server. I could see a use for Final Cut Server for management but I won’t convert to Final Cut just for it. I will continue to stick with Adobe especially since I’ve been playing around with Adobe Premiere Pro on the Mac. I just looked at most of the new things and said the same some of one guys mentioned which is Adobe has had those. It’ll take alot for me to break from using Adobe just over the integration, although the competition is making strides.

Adobe is announcing the new CS3 suites and products next week. It won’t be shipping for another month or so.

I want to thank you guys for the book and tutorials and othe recommendations. I’ve got my first big project for a college class cooming up. So I will be reading up on many of the threads on Creative Cow for any possible problems that may arise.

You could get a Blackmage Decklink HD card for $1495 and a massive storage array. Outside of that you’ll need to rent a Sony HD VTR to load the footage onto your computer. Outside of that your setup looks good.
