Thanks Peter. I also filed a bug report.
The Adobe Media Encoder issue is weird. You click OK to export from the AME dialog and the dialog box flashes once; e.g. disappears then immediately re-appears.
I haven’t had a chance to try another type of media other than HDV. I’m going to try that next.

I tested some more and found out that ALL BCC filters don’t work in PPro CS3 on any HDV timeline. Render crashes the computer and AME does nothing when you click OK to output.
Remove all BCC filters from the sequence and everything works great.
Anyone have some suggestions?
Is anyone successfully using BCC 5.0 on HDV clips in CS3?

[Harm Millaard] “Some people may think differently about that, as instead of paying $ 1400 for a meager upgrade, they can get Vegas+DVD Studio for around 1/3 of the price, or Avid Xpress Pro 5.x for the same price as Adobe upgrades.”
If you work with HDV, you might be better off getting Xpress Pro for the $1400 instead of upgrading. I had so many problems with PPro CS3 and HDV (which didn’t exist in 2.0), I couldn’t finish any of my projects.
I had to start the projects over in Xpress Pro and haven’t had a single problem at all.
I love the new versions of the other programs in the suite, but I don’t know if they are worth $1400.

Can you capture HDV via firewire and/or HD-SDI (with an HD-Connect LE) through this device into a DVCPro HD codec and edit it in Premiere Pro CS3?
As far as I know, you can’t currently edit DVCPro HD natively with PPro CS3 right now, so they must be providing a plug-in or something to allow this?

FWIW Jaromir, I don’t remember ever having to “license” my Xena card.
Aja is good at viewing these boards, but you might want to shoot them an email to xenasupport@aja.com

From the Raylight web site’s first page…
“Plug-ins for both Adobe PremiereTM and Sony VegasTM to allow you to drag MXF files directly into the project!”
… for less than $200 is going to be your cheapest solution for PPro.
I’d have to ditto everything Tim says. Why not just spend $200 and do the whole project in PPro?

If it works don’t fix it?
🙂

Jeff, FWIW I’ve tried the ProspectHD trial many times in the past on the current “non-OEM” version of the AJA drivers and didn’t have problems. I haven’t tried mixing the footage yet. Next trial I try, I will.
Not that I’d recommend doing that. It was just an observation. If you have problems with ProspectHD running on the latest drivers instead of the “non-OEM” drivers, the issue will be who and where will you be able to get support.

Thanks for the info Steven!
That double-click annoyed the heck out of me 🙂

“It seems to me AJA needs to focus on the PC side of their business a little more and make Xena more of a real-world editing solution.”
I honestly don’t see how AJA could behave differently. They are very open to suggestions. If you have any specific ideas on how they could handle their PC development differently, I’m sure they would love to hear it. In fact, I’d bet you could probably get the product manager on the phone if you tried 🙂
I think the issue lies more with the third-party application vendors keeping up with updates to AJA drivers.
I’ve got some serious crippling problems on my CS3 uncompressed Xena timelines of my current project. I don’t want to wait around for Cineform and all other third party plug-ins and appliations to get around to approving the drivers before I can get a fix for my problems and let me finish my project.
“It can be disheartening for PC users, but keep in mind that Apple is the only company that makes Apple computers…and ProRes is an Apple software codec, not a third-party codec…running on an editing application that is also made by Apple.”
Not to mention an operating system that is also made by Apple.
