One should remember that one of the reasons for the Creative Cow Net to be, is that people should ask the group questions and others should try to answer. If people are scratching their heads then this is a good thing. It means that they`re still thinking. It`s my same idea as logic in particular. He who thinks he has the logical answer has already stopped thinking and in fact may be suffering from not even wondering the needed question too. He is usually dead although possibly right. Don`t let a lack of the second word come to be, in order to stiftle the first word too. There are way too many people everywhere and in the Cow forums too who forget how fragile broadcasting really is. In order to glance off of giant paragraphs and biggest subjects of debate in Television Broadcasting video (…and audio) I`ll merely state how I see people not figure out that one of the common reasons they`re not getting good local news, commercials, and programming, is often because they`re aiming their receiver sattelite dishes at a sattelite that`s dedicated to programming from another area of the world not theirs. Now let`s look at the seemingly simpler area of Radio Broadcasting. I often get to say that some of my own Radio Listenners as well as Listenners of other shows on my station, (as well as on other stations), sometimes power their Radio receivers, often the only users of electricity in the house, on the oldest or only types of batteries or cells found in the houses, the doorbell cells, which are occasionally fully 160 years old. I can get the taste, of Sal Ammoniac, when I hear schemes of new broadcasting formats that I know the public won`t go for. Keep the Engineers and Technicians engineering and operating too.

(Original post below mine),
Norman, when I ran across NewBlue FX myself, it was bundled into a Sony Vegas Platinum Edition (8?) I bought new and so far haven`t got to install properly. I hadn`t been aware that it could be used next to different NLEs. A friend had trouble with his Sony Vegas and fixed things with a good approach. Since the Sony Vegas didn`t work because Sony had on purposely issued sabotaged new software he gave the original purchase to a software Hackers community and they sent him back a fixed copy maybe a month later after they figured out how to fix it. Sorry this doesn`t answer your original question but at least I get to say what fixed things. It wasn`t a learning curve, it was factory original sabotaged software.Does a NewBlue FX forum make sense?

Hi Ron.
Does a NewBlueFX forum make sense?
The reason I am asking is that NewBlueFX works in many different host NLE’s, and so I imagine they perform about the same in whatever host NLE. But I could be wrong.

Obviously if members want help they should keep posting their questions in the regular way. It`s a selfish idea for them to think that they need SPECIAL help from the web Leaders for no extra reason. If someone wants to ask me a special question with attention that deserves a consulting fee…

It sounds to me like the main power suppply going to your Mac Pro going directly through your motherboard (or through sub power supplies on your motherboard) then into your Kona card which has it`s own sub power supply in it somewhere is out of tolerance causing an oscillator or flipflop on the Kona card to go hairy. Swap in another power supply first and try measuring a few DC voltage pick off points without blowing things up! Of course the motherboard might be what`s out of tolerance.

Remember that the D21 has an ARRIRAW without ProRes workflow.
The biggest visual list to the workflow is
(htp://)? https://www.arridigital.com/contacts/partnerprogram. You will have to hand type this search into the internet as there`s no introduction to it (at present) in https://www.arri.com Please note that Creative, Technical, and Budget, are the home headings in the https://www.arri.com main website, not Home.This list as well as many of the exchanges in the topic, ARRI vs. RED, around 5 topics below this has information. Look for exchanges from April 13, onwards through most of the posts. (This is the most express answer to your question but use all the rest).
Join https://www.GLUETOOLS.com (with Forum).
There are miscellaneous discussions about software like, Pablo, Pomfort Silverstack, etc. to be found.
Hardware like the software falls into 3 categories, 1. ARRI Partner Program approved list (meets the 7? requirements). Look through ARRI archives and telecine too.
2. Other equipment that works (hint, join Spectsoft.com and mention ARRIRAW).
3. Stuff that doesn`t work, like SXS card readers that don`t work, or hardware in general, that`s not had software supporting it.You mentioned features. It would be good to see if you`ll actually need multiple outputs like daily stills for publishing, rushes for dailies, next to your (feature film burns?). Hardware to continue: There is practically no discussions on live mixing whether mixing all ARRI inputs or mixing ARRI inputs with “interview cameras”, news feeds, and more. Hardware next to the mixer board could include AJA Kona 3 or LHi cards and converters here and there (fortunately self frame synchronizing if fed properly), and there`s a minor discussion somewhere about if a converter card called a Bluefish444 Epoch|2K is usefull for bumpdowns but I think it happens to be a RAW/software/ProRes? mismatch.

I think I put you in big shape for this, Fred
D21 Proxy QT dailies: top tools
by Andrei Nazarov on Aug 16, 2010 at 4:53:13 am
What is you tools of choice for D21 footage for converting to proxy if its feature movie?
Is there some command-line script controlled solution? -
My general same advice with a few different verses and yarns:
Buy all the needed cables.
Buy as much main and supporting types of software as possible.
Make your workforce some editing computers, mixers, and other
hardware that will allow their workflow on the new Alexa to be no
more difficult at all than they are doing now. Surely you don`t think
their work habits will improve for no reason?
If your art department makes differerential color test charts complete
with nested memory color pictures like you`re Vistek encoders itself,
alright to share the results, then GET OVER the testing stage.
Plan some first productions that certainly don`t need perfection.
Advice from the U.S. War Department to the Aerial Photographers in WW II:
“Whatever you do, come back with the handles.”.
If you make your first shot some fruit on a table make it a joke not a test!
Alright to steal my words here, I`ll make more. Fred Jodry -
Guthrie, automation came up unexpectedly last night as a topic by a radio friend and me. If you use time code at your station here`s one more fix. https://www.rivendellaudio.org
Use this radio automation program to control your tv system by letting it have access to timecode. -
Sorry to be so harsh but if you make every piece like it`s seriously aimed for maximum repeatable use you`ll soon find you have a selection on the shelf that can go places to pay you.

Guthrie, since the automations are out of budget why don`t you use an “all hard drives” sort of solution and just have someone on an editing computer edit up say, a half day at a time worth of proposed programming complete with “rain out” programming where your live shows go. Put an innocuous playback program on it next to the editor program and just let it roll. A plain powerful editing computer can sort out the programs much faster than life and I`d suppose that a pair of 60 GB work HDs is usually enough to handle the time span. Erase and prepare them before each program cycle. Putting in then bypassing “rain out” programming will dramatically remove you from the worst of a stop and go work flow. Programming- to- website software or tools are something you can find in the magazines in the waiting room of a radio or tv station.

I couldn`t find anything at all that wasn`t technically perfect. Color, iris, sound mixing all dead perfect. Even treble was on the nose. The real thing to change is the story. When Thomas Edison invented his first invention, a stock ticker, he found out that he had invented a machine that worked well but was needed or wanted not at all. Your lively story if not surrounded or replaced by a much more needed by people story is the same.
