Another question you may ask yourself: How many networks use After Effects? Photoshop? Premiere suffers amongst professionals from it’s heritage as a toy. But now Adobe is merging all their production apps into an uber production package that may soon become the same no-brainer that After Effects and Photoshop are now. Stay tuned.

The RTX100 has three main features: Analog/Digital input/output; real time MPEG encoding for DVDs; and a large number of real time effects. However if you stack up multiple effects, you will still have to render. The render might be quicker though, due to the Matrox hardware acceleration of the Matrox effects.
The Matrox Axio will handle multiple effects in real time, but requires the use of a certified workstation, like the HP xw9300. System prices start at around $13K.
AspectHD would only impact HD editing.

The workflow Matrox has built into Axio allows for offline editing of low res files converted from the original hi res captured footage with their own special lo res codec. This material can be edited on any computer with Premiere and Matrox’s software codec installed (you don’t need Axio). Since the hi res stuff is already in the Axio project, it’s pretty straightforward to either just use it or recapture it.
Then it’s a matter of copying your project, deleting unneeded sequences, and using whatever Premiere project trimming tools are suitable (in project manager). For example, they have a “exclude unused clips” option.
If your source material is SD dubs of HD material with synched TC, I would think you could still recapture a trimmed project, at least with a RS-422 deck with real timecode.

Aren’t the 100 series Opterons designed for single processor systems? The dual processor chips are the 200 series.

Axio supports DVCPRO50 and DVCPRO HD natively with Premiere.

I agree it’s not everything I was wishing for, but it’s better than I expected. We will have to keep the pressure on Adobe to release additional features more promptly. Batch processing and programmable macros are high on the unfulfilled wish list.

I think there is a TC match button in 2.0 for multicam that should work for this application as well.
-
Cool. That will be a real time saver.
-
It’s looking to me that with the 2.0 release Adobe stacks up quite well compared to the competition. Wish I could say the same about the HVX200. Take my advice and stay away from this impractical expensive concept-cam, and create your film look in post. You will thank me later.

How about:
Load Clip #1 in source viewer. Select appropriate cue point and set marker.
Right click on source TC# and copy.
Place Clip #1 on timeline.
Load Clip #2 with synched TC in source viewer. Paste previous TC# into source TC# box.
Set marker and drop into timeline (different track). Line up markers.This is pretty quick. The markers will stay with the clips, which could be handy if things get out of sync later.
