Both will work just fine. Compressor presets will work just fine. I’ve read lots about people having probalems, but it works for me.
Sorry I made the stupid befre, but I’m playing poker for millions of dollars.

Of course, I wasn’t thinking… I was playing poker online when I answered your question.

Faryar,
Unless you captured as SD from the Z1 camera you have no way of viewing HD on your laptop. On my G5 I have a BM Extreme card that allows me to display HD on a SD monitor and output to a SD deck. With a laptop I’m not sure that is an option.

[Seth Bloombaum] “”If you step up to our ‘A’ sound package your audience will be able to hear everything that went into the production.””
So Seth, does this mean that if we use the “B” sound package maybe we’ll just hear the good stuff that went into the production???

Actually, the Apple website does indicate the dual core Powermacs have built-in SATA I/O. It says:
Integrated I/O
Serial ATA, FireWire, USB, audio, and wireless technologies are integrated through two bidirectional 800MHz HyperTransport interconnects for a maximum throughput of 1.6 GBps, providing ample throughput for a host of peripheral devices. -
I would also assume that for the time being there are no compatible SATA cards either. Or, by chance, has Apple built-in an external SATA I/O??? I’ll have to check on that…

Gregg,
Since they haven’t shipped yet, how could anyone here really know the answer to your question?

[Jonathan White] “I have edited my timeline in the regular HDV1080i50 sequence and viewed it by setting view to blackmagic1080i50 8 bit but if I drop my edited HDV timeline into a Blackmagic 1080i50 8 bit sequence it shows orange and needs rendering.”
Well yes, that’s all completely normal. The question is, why are you putting your edited timeline into a BM 1080i50 8-bit seq.??? There are reason for doing that, but what ius your reason???

Simone,
If I didn’t have a client coming in 10-mins I would get on this with you right now in detail, but I’m going to have to give you the short answer.
The short answer: Because you have 45 hours of footage, I would suggest that you forge ahead and edit native HDV for now. Upconvert the DV material without any consideration for quality now, and consider those shots as temporary placeholders. Don’t worry about what that material looks like, but make sure to tell the client that its temporary so they don’t freak out on you. After you’ve cut the project for story, you’ll have the option at that point to either downconvert the HDV, or upconvert the DV. And, all of that i-frame business can be handled at that stage too — it isn’t always something that has to happen before the edit.
When you’re done with the priciple editing, come back here and we’ll figure out where to go from from there. You’ll know a whole lot more about the project by that time, and it will make your path from there much easier to determine.
Hope this helps a little…
