  • Actually, iQ can play uncompress Targa files natively

    Of course iQ is in a different league 🙂

    Because in Avid, any FX will effect layers below it. To affect only a particular layer, you must ‘step-in’ that layer (double click the clip using the red arrow).

    Taht remain to be seen. I would not assume. Many editors assumed AE was multi threaded. It was not.
    Also, being multi-threaded does not necessarily mean the application will do 4 threads.

    2 different products.

    55mm simulates glass filters used by photographers and DPs.

    Magic Bullet simulates the ‘film look’ including the attempt to convert 30i’s motion rendering in to 24 fps.

    Adding a core does not necessarily increase computing 100% per core. This is because the core will share the same memory and depending onchipset design other resources like memory controller, cache, different system buses, etc, etc.

    Also, codes must be written to take advantage of the cores – meaning the application must support more ‘threads.’
    If not, the extra horses will remain in the stable.

    Ideally, you would have an increase of 40-75 percent performance on computing intensive task like rendering and encoding.

  • [bogiesan] “Apparently, Vegas is the only solution for multiple formats in real time.”

    Actually, Avid has always been able to do this prior to Vegas’ existence – even HD in SD or vice versa.
    Also, Vegas has limitations out on output to client monitor because the lack of hardware. With Avid, even Mojo can output 15:1s, DV, 1:1, HDV and DVC Pro HD out to a SD client monitor. However, Mojo does not output HD signals. (hopefully, in the future it will).
    Adrenaline can do.

    Look at your clips. The Starting TC values – does it end with 5s or 0s?

    If not then you are missing the pulldown frame.

    I am incorrect.

    [George Loch] “Yes, this is true but have you priced an AMD dual dual core workstation (Intel is not even there yet)? Your lucky to be under $4k”

    Not true. Compare the price of HP 9300 Opteron Workstation vs the new G5 Quad.

    Configured the same way (2 GB of RAM, 250 GB HD, Quadro FX 4500), the G5 is about $200 cheaper ($5,249 vs $5,432). However, the HP comes with a 20″ LCD, SATA 2 and a built in dual channel SCSI 320 controller. That is about $1200+ value.

    [mike] “all these AVID timeline tools seem so outdated and simplistic”

    You just need to spend some time with it to ‘get it.’ Different approach.
    Hey look RT alpha
    Hey look different fonts types and sizes in one title
