Ok, I guess it is just something I must be doing wrong. Can someone please share best practices for upgrading/updating successfully without creative cloud app manager erroring out?
Many thanks, Jason -
Amen! Its nice to drag a comp straight into AME from AE but as you point out, but the user is not presented an option to select workspace instead or entire comp, unless you click on the preset hyperlink in AME, then wait and wait and wait for Dynamic server.
IMHO – Makes most since to add to queue as normal then click a little box saying send to AME… and off it goes to AME with all settings.

Hi Alex,
I say your post here and on Adobe’s forums, I too am having the problem you describe with IMX 50 MXF files. Audio plays, but no waveforms depicted until I zoom in… Looks like a Pr glitch. Did you find anything else out about the issue? -
Sara,
We have had pretty good success with our Tolis system and running BRU/PE. I have not run into the problem you have explained, wish I could be more helpful. So far when and if I run into such a hiccup I have found great success with contacting Tolis Support, those guys really know what’s going on. Their number is 480-505-1814.Oh and a belated thanks to Walter for sharing your thoughts and experiences prior to our purchase.
Hope this helps

Joe,
Thanks for sharing! Nice reprieve of scenery from the edit cave 🙂 The exposure allowing the sunset transitions through the star-filled sky was very strong! I am curious were you using a dynamic perception MC rig? Keep ’em coming! -
Thanks for the input Walter. Curious abour a couple of things based on your expience. Are you using LTFS or TAR format?
Less user friendly than CacheA doesnt sound very user friendly at all. I found CacheA’s interface to be not very user friendly, sometimes clunky. Ideally I would like to have the flexibility of LTFS format and find a tool to catalog all of the contents on the Tape. BRU looks promising I just am not that familiar with it yet. So, do you find the software to be helpful when reviewing offline items you wish to restore?

Thanks for sharing your experience with us! Yeah FCP 7 has just enough to keep you coming back… And regarding the future I hope to stay on mac OS but unfortunately I fear the next to go are mac pro towers, iMacs are cool but… I say 6 months.

I was curious about the head to head performance of rendering the two on Quad-core Xeon 3Ghz Mac Pro. I put a 28 sec clip of XDCAM 1080 50i in a 60i timeline (trying to approximate your situation requiring a render) hit render, it took around 23 seconds and the All CPU’s reported 70%. I transcoded the same clip to Prores HQ and it rendered in 17 seconds with all the CPUs reporting around 55%. Note the transcoded file was 561.8 MB, the original XDCAM 133.6 MB.
Yeah bummer about FCP7 and 32-bit hu?

Your thinking is so rational! It would be nice to see those cores maxed out… But unfortunately FCP7 and XDCAM (Long GOP in general) are a bit like a dysfunctional old married couple, they dont get along so well. With XDCAM I find you have a couple of options, transcode to Prores, or in your case render everything to Prores, as Rafael suggested, and/or expect unstable results from normal editing procedures. Unstable results like unexplained and unexpected crashes when simply scrubbing through the timeline etc., FCP7 is just not built to edit Long GOP.
That’s just my experience.
Unfortunately FCP 8 or 9 never happened, they went ahead and skipped to 10. It was long hoped for that better results would come FCP8, maybe re-writing FCP as 64-bit to use all the RAM present, all CPU power and GPU power to speed such things as dealing with Long GOP, but no such luck…
I have heard XDCAM and Sony Vegas play very well together.
