Neoscene works for me. I’m about to shoot a feature with my canon 7D and editing in 24P on Sony Vegas Pro. It works damn well but I am using 8 cores. My only gripe is trying to deactivate it to use on another machine is a real pain in the #*&^!!!
Anyone interested you can check out my website and teaser at:

and perhaps log onto the blog and I will share my experiences as a first time film maker using the 7D. -
Yeah that’s a bitch isn’t it? I suppose it would be best just to use a small on camera monitor with a HDMI splitter and run a lead to the other large monitor.

I’ve always used Flix Standard and it does a fantastic job. Great quality. https://www.on2.com

Yeah, you’re probably right, the magic lantern. It’s hard to comprehend that canon leaved out manual audio on the D5, designed to be a journalism camera, yet on the 7D they do the same thing knowing how much operators requested it for film usage.

You can do so much with Vegas Pro that I don’t see why you would need more FX. What you can’t do, best to do with After FX. But then again it’s just my opinion.

I doubt anyone treats Vegas professionally which is unfortunate.

Hey Tim,
I’m currently in the same boat as you, about to build a descent system together. To answer your question, my Brother in law (animator)has been using After FX professionally on 64bit Windows 7 beta for quite sometime now. They all agree that it’s the best OS they’ve had so far. So I have no hesitation in using the latest Windows 7. I will also go for the Xeon quadcore dual CPUs hyper threaded to 16 cores, 12 gig ram. Hopefully that will have enough grunt! -
Thanks Kevin, I’ll take your valid points into consideration.
-
Thanks for your info!
How much ram is recommended? I’m looking at 12 megs, should I get more?The Nvidia QuadroFX is a current card as far as I know. High numbers must indicate other models. I would also like to use boris continuum which I believe can only work with open GL on for the 3D Text in AE. Currently I’m running a five year old Xeon twin CPUs and it runs like a slug! Used to be fast with earlier versions of AE but now I need to update.

Hey Jamie,
Rendering lengthy files can be a time consuming lengthy process. If you are rendering two or less video tacks it shouldn’t take too long, but if that’s how long your system takes then there’s not much that can be done. If you are using many layers, effects, HDV etc in your projects then it will take considerably longer time. The best way I get around this is to first render everything into an AVI file and then bring it back into the timeline and render out again into your WMV file. A double render but it works much faster. Hope that works for you, and I’m looking forward to the 100 core Macs! I get my Final Cut Pro suite next month but I still love Vegas!
