Micah, the Canon EOS log and transfer plugin sounds interesting.
Coming from Final cut Im used to transcode everything on ingest. Also I really like to se everything on both computer display and monitor at the same time.

“Why do you need to EDIT via a monitor. Color correct, sure. But what is your external monitor doing for you that the computer display can’t when it comes to true editing?”
“Copy clips into a sequence with AJA settings.
Rendering just the timeline is far faster than transcoding everything yu shot.”
Sooner or later you want to use the external monitor for color corection and gradeing. Just nice to get everything up and running from the beginning of editing…But yea alot of time and space is wasted on transcoding everything!
“You can also monitor JUST fine going out HDMI (which can easily be converted to HDSDI for $300).”
Richard Harrington
Do you mean using another card than nvidia with hdmi output? or using the dvi port on the nvidia card and convert that to hdmi?
Richard Harrington
“The realtime handling of HD is done by Mercury Engine. This outputs via your NVIDIA graphics card
To output over other video hardware you need to render.”
If this is correct I guess the only option is to use the dvi and convert it to hdmi or just use plane dvi.
Thanks Richard for all info! I will think about the workflow.
