The Sony FS700 deserves all the hype that the Blackmagic is now getting.

It works well I heard. I would suggest to rent it because there is going to be a Sony 4K compressed raw recorder in the very near future. This recorder is going to be another game changer.
There is a rumor that Sony is releasing another codec in September.
On a different note I have to say that I’m truly impressed by AVCHD after working with DSLR’s for a long time. It holds up very well and doesn’t fall apart in grading.
I planned on buying an external recorder but I’m holding off now since I’m truly pleased with what’s being recorded onto my SD cards.

I didn’t read the whole thread but there is one thing I want to point out:
Spending 25000 on a Scarlet will not include the extra cost you will have in post. RED footage demands very powerful and expensive computers.
And REDRAW is aslo compressed by the way. Only ARRIRAW is truly uncompressed.
I have been shooting with the FS700 for a little while and the cinegamma settings are so amazing that you don’t really need RAW in most shooting conditions. It gives you 12 stops of latitude.

The director I worked with the other day bought one of the retinas and when he showed me how well it ran I got jealous.
He had effects, grading on 2 layers of video which was AVCHD 1080p and it ran in real time.
I have a 2008 8core Mac Pro with a NIVIDEA Quadro 4000 and it can’t pull in off.
If you don’t need to work with 4K any time soon you’ll be very happy with the new retinas.
I personally going to wait for the 2013 MacPro. I hope it’s 4K ready.

That’s great to know. But I’m actually having problems with having linked compositions in Premiere. So far it looks I have to render them out but that kind of defeats the purpose of a linked composition.
I guess I’m going to start saving for the massive Mac Pro update that supposed to happen in 2013. 4K ready. lol

You are right. But since I’m producing, operating the camera, copywriting and editing I can always use some help. I eventually will hire AE specialists when my budgets get higher. As much as I love AE it’s just too big of a program.

I could never find the solution.
I guess I forget about the Quicktime wrapper and create straight MP4 files.
They are great quality and my client didn’t complain.

“the best configuration are actually 2 Nvidia Quadro 4000 cards”

…or you have to flip the cards 🙁

Thank you very much.
This makes sense.
Does DaVinci recognize the card by itself or is there anything I have to do?

Also, do you know if this setup world for CS5 AE and PR?
