I was almost sure that working with progressive is easier than interlaced specially talking about keying.
I’m guessing, by the script, that 70% of the video will be shooting with the actress in studio #1. Than I will stuck with progressive definatly. Since the HDV shoots 1440×1080 60i 29,97, I should shoot with the EX3 in 1920×1080 29,97p , right ?

In the end I will have 70% of easier material for post and 30% to cranck my head … lol

I know, this is an old post but I was surfing around COW looking for some answers and I found it .
Motion is not a real 3D but you can “pretend” with it. I did it with some DVD boxes on a video.
With the link below you can see it. It is almost in the end of this 20s clip.

Thanks Steve.
Do you know where can I find any article, tutorial etc explaining how much connection speed each timeline/codec needs ?
Until now I was those kind of editors who just pick up a footage of whatever codec it was shoot, place in the timeline and edit it. Now , as my jobs are getting more complex I’m needing to do more accurate calculations to check if my equipments are going to do or not the jobs …. .

thank you in advance.

Fredy.

February 17, 2011 at 1:12 pm in reply to: Raid over FW800 any good?

Hi David,
As I wrote before, I’m now working with my old MBP with 6GB of RAM, with a RAID 5 over the OWC enclosure tunned with the Sonnet Express/Card 34. Everything is working fine. But as you’ve said, all of it didn’t speed up my renders but the renders thar I need to see are faster.
I’ve finally finish the job and I’ve post it on my website. I did the Production, co-direction and all of the reaserches for images and midias and everything in post-production. Of course, it is not like the ones you have on your company’s website LOL … , but I’m starting to work …..
Thanks for your help. If you want to see it, here goes the link. Just click on the blue picture labeled “Sangue, Suor e Lágrimas”.
Once again, thank you very much.

hi Rafael,
Do you think I should do the same for capturing from VHS to avoid stop the capture process ?
thanks.

Ok then …. just a fast format is fine … forgetting the zero all data,right ? And … keep the secret files away from KGB, CIA and MOSAD … lol

Excuse me, moreover …. The best way to format for video editing is the “Mac OS Extend” (not journaled), right ?
But using my Disk Utility and selecting the image of the manufactor it shows journaled and selecting the image and name that I gave to the specific disk it shows not journaled. Is it right ?

By the way, I’ve followed your advise to go ahead on my thoughts for doing the upgrade on my Old MacBook Pro and bought those thing on our discussion some weeks ago and I’m using the the Sonnet Express Card/34 adapter for esata connection, running the machine with 6GB of RAM and built the Array/Raid with the OWC enclosure with 4 HD. As you’ve said, these things did not make my final renders faster, but helped on little renders to preview and gave me more confidence and safety that I will not lose my work on a HD failure.

As you were the only person answering me I will ask you one thing about another post that nobody responded me.
I always say that when “you have 2, in fact you have 1 and if you have 1 you definitely have nothing” . That is a good rule for making backups on HD.
I have been collecting footage for some years and sometimes I very often use them on my projects and they are saved and organized in a external HD (with no mirror or raid) different from my scratch disk, which is an array with 4 HDs setup as a raid 5.
What is the best ? Save the collection on the scratch disk or leave it where it is and make regular backups ?
