I don’t think so. I think there will always be an audience for real actors and real sets.

I’m currently working on an event that I’ve provided video content for for the last three years. This year I would love, love, LOVE to deliver H.264 1080P deliverables, but I’m putting it on DVD. Why?
Reliability.
DVD is tried and true. I’m down to crunch time now and I know I don’t have to worry about it. I get it up and running on DVD and I know it’s good to go with playback.

I can’t speak for others, but Magic Bullet DeNoiser is After Effects only, so no.

[Jeremy Garchow].AVC-Intra support is really strange. The lower bandwidth avc-I files take up more room than their optimized ProRes equivalents. This really doesn’t add up for me. A 145mb/sec (ProRes) file should be bigger than a 100mb/sec AVC-I file, but this is not the case.
I can’t say this with any authority yet (kind of new in working with ProRes on any regular basis and waiting to start shooting AVC-I), but I believe that AVC-Intra is a constant bitrate format (i.e. if you are shooting the full AVC-I 100 it will be 100mb/sec constantly), whereas ProRes seems to be a variable bitrate (I’ve noticed that the bitrate seems to change while encoding).
I believe this might explain the difference in size.

Doesn’t even have to be complicated. Throw a DeNoiser plugin onto some DSLR footage and you’ve got yourself a beast of a render.

Tom, you may have dodged a bullet this time, but if your computer is completely shutting itself off, I’m afraid that sounds more like a hardware problem than anything.
I would just double-check everything to be safe. And make sure you have a recent backup.

It’s part of the newer QuickTime executables for Windows, so you don’t have to download that. It’s automatic now.

[Joseph W. Bourke]Anything Apple says, especially predictions, are predicated on a marketing strategy.
Optical disc media is pretty much a competitor to iTunes. That explains why Apple wants it dead.

Tom had a 1 minute piece which took 8 minutes to output and he was surprised. What if you had a 45 minute piece to render?Thankfully, I’ve never had to deal with it, but as long as you realize that this could be the case, you just adapt.
For short videos, such as Tom’s 1 minute piece, it’s not that much of an issue. For longer it’s best to render out any complicated pieces ahead of time.

[Robert Brown]I also think they need to adopt Pro Res in full like Avid seems to be doing. Clients ask for it and it’s the best codec I know of. Whatever multi-generational issues using something like Pro Res would be negligible.
ProRes cannot be exported to in a Windows environment, so until Apple unlocks that option, I don’t see that happening.
And Avid isn’t adopting ProRes. They have their own DNxHD (which works just fine for similar purposes on both Mac/Win).
