Any word on mLogic mTape?

I’m experiencing BOTH of these issues on a 2012 iMac and Speedgrade 7.1 + Premiere 7.1. To be specific: any clip with a Secondary grade looks totally messed up when viewing in Premiere and when inside SpeedGrade copying grades that include masks between clips crashes the app every time. This is forcing me to re-create vignettes manually on every clip. Talk about not “Speed-y”. I will say that when they get the bugs worked out the dynamic linking between PR and SG will be awesome. I don’t know what I’m going to do about the first problem since my project is due today.

I’m not on-board with the idea of optical media dying anytime soon. When it comes to movies, there are a lot of folks that want to own a physical product. I for one want highest quality video, special features and a physical backup when I buy a movie.
“Do we really need a new version of DVD Studio? What major features is it missing right now?
-Stuart Simpson”DVD-SP is a fantastic app, but there is always room for improvement.
– HDMV Blu-ray authoring of course (don’t bother with BD-J for now, too much of a rat’s nest)
– 64 bit
– High quality integrated smart encoding. My idea for this is, you bring in all your video as QuickTime or links to live FCPX timelines, layout and author your whole disc, then you tag the encoding quality priority of all the videos (main movie feature is “A-quality”, menus are B, featurettes and music videos are C, etc. Then you have DVD-SP smartly encode it so that you use every bit possible on the disc putting more bits where they are most important)
– NO MORE GAMMA SHIFTS!
– The ability to drill down to the spec level and tweak the abstraction layer when needed.
– Figure out a way to use fewer GPRMs in the abstraction layer so that we can use them for authoring.
– Proper documentation for the jump relative function. (took me a week to figure that out the first time I needed it.)
– Build upon the jump relative idea and do even more powerful things with it.
– Dump all the pre-made template stuff. That’s what iDVD is for. (personal opinion)
– Add support for THX Media Director -
I’m a little embarrassed I didn’t think of that. Nevertheless, worked brilliantly! Thanks for the help folks.

Nope not a time machine backup. But close, when we went to install the FCP 3 update on that machine it turned out there wasn’t enough hard drive space, and that machine’s hard drive was small anyway, so we installed a new drive and used Disk Utility’s “Restore” function to clone the old drive onto the new one, we then booted over to that drive and updated to FCP 3. I didn’t think this would be a problem since FCP2 and everything else (including picky CS4) ran fine on the new drive. Do you think this could have something to do with it?

Is the cadence consistent (iipppiipppii…), or does it change on each edit. In other words was the source material telecined after a editing or before? If the cadence is consistent, there are many programs that can handle this well (After Effects, CinemaTools, JES Deinterlacer, FCP). However, if you need to adjust the cadence on each edit, I’ve found that nothing beats doing it by hand, which can be a big undertaking for a longer video, though I’ve done it to entire 2 hour movies before.

[Jeremy Garchow] “Did you try removing FCS and then reintalling?”
I did try a remove and reinstall. No help. I’m racking my brain to think of what else could cause this.

Hrmm…Thanks for all the tips. We installed ProKit 5 and I double checked the RAM config. Turns out there are two 4GB dimms and two 512K dimms. So technically it is in pairs. (Though I admit, I have no recollection of installing 512K dimms in the machine).
Still getting the same results. Upon further examination, it looks like we get the rainbow image on briefly in ProRes as well anytime we switch tabs (or any initial redraw). But ProRes goes white after that quick initial refresh.
Still stumped.

No capture card. Just an off the shelf Mac Pro 8 x 2.8 Ghz with 9GB RAM.
