Yes, capture only.
Editorial was already set up with their tools and infrastructure, but in terms of assembling the film and color correcting all the Genesis material as well as distributing the DPX frames for visual effects. Premiere was a pretty obvious choice for Digital Sandbox who had the digital hub on the lot. Cost wise it is a fraction of any other tool that could do the same 444 RGB uncompressed capture.
I see it as a positive nod of acceptance. It takes time to get into the studios and we need more cases like this… which there will be.
Hopefully someday I can talk about another presigious filmmaker who had Premiere Pro working in a not so typical way.

If anyone has any specific questions on this project, feel free to post em and I will respond. I was responsible for setting up and supporting the system for the digital hub. It was tough doing the production through the beta, but once we got a released build much smoother.

I don’t have specifics on what Matrox is doing. I have been patiently waiting for a system to get up to speed on. I have been quite swamped with Black Magic and CineForm…
As soon as I know and can share, I will.

They are working in SD and they anxiously await HD!

The footage is natively captured -[pinched]-, premiere pro just expands it to display it 16×9. When you record it in widescreen mode, the physical video is pinched together where everything looks taller.

I believe when you first import the EDL and the files are offline, you can double click on them and change the meta data.

Great question. I don;t know the answer. I would believe the license continues.

There is no doubt about it. I have spoken with a house that does a ton of XDCam work and they feel like the format is ROCK solid. Scratches, sand, you name it, a little toothpaste and everything is all right…

I definitely don’t want to get into an argument about DVCPro HD, but it certainly isn’t a free format that any application can integrate. Apple clearly has a great relationship with panasonic and adobe has a great relationship with sony. If more users yelled for this, then I think it would make more a case for it. It’s a legitimate request, it just ended up as a third party area. The only way Premiere Pro does support it is if you have a deck with HD/SDI output you can capture it in the 720p uncompressed codec using the AJA Xena HS card. Of course you don’t have the compression and smaller file size, but you could use CineForm for compression with the AJA and that would solve that. I would put CineForm up against any other compressed codec.
I think it’s a valid gripe, but wait til someone announces a new format at NAB and then we’ll see what the next flavor people demand… HD Optical blue-ray… I’m just speculating, but if such a format were to exist and Adobe supported that and apple didn’t… then what.

respectfully.

I am glad to hear you are happy with EDL in 2.0. It was the bane of my existence with Dust to Glory, so a number of good folks at adobe made sure it was taken care of. They deserve a nice pat of the back. (jerry, andy, steve, paul)
