    I too have been converting to 16bit slog dpx and working as usual. Just a rumor but I heard that BM had it working and then Sony tweaked the raw mxf just enough to break it.

    Alexander,
    If your picture looks good while being double luted you could have exported the clips incorrectly form nuke. What did you pass to resolve? If you rendered out cineons or dpx’s you may have double loged your files. Just a thought.

    Cheers,

    The index series by Jim Krause is your best bet. I think you can pick up most of them used on amazon. Make sure to get the color index. I use this book almost every day

    That depends on what you are finishing in. Typically you would be working in 709 for a hd cam sr 444 finish. P3 is also common for digital projection

    A lot of my cleints are having this same problem. There is no easy solution that does not involve 12 steps for getting 23.98 material into final cut pro from the JVC. I always recomend dubing your dailies to a more standard high def format, then down convert and work tradtionaly. At least until HDV becomes more standardized

    Shake along with primate is another powerfull option. Although Shake has somewhat of a steep learning curve.

  • Thanks for your reply. I do indeed have the clients database. The problem is notgenerating the pull list, but more gernerating a pull list in the format we need over here. I need to have a standard pull list (which we were able to generate form cinema tools) along with tape id and timcode info appended to each event. Currently I’m working on an XML parser which will extract this info from the XML dump of the seq. but there has to be a more streamlined work around. Thanks again for all your help.
