NEVERMIND.
Apparently having a chrome window in the background with a flash video window open in the BG will take that 40% performance drop.
Weird.

I made the jump last year, and I don’t miss color much, and I don’t think I’ll miss it at all once v8 hits

Joined the club when I couldn’t go out to my broadcast monitor or get an XML export.

I’ve encountered this, I find that it sometimes happens if I boot the system with the dongle plugged in. I unplug the dongle, boot, and then plug it in, post boot.

I heard it’s real real close. Weeks not months.
I can’t wait to load my XML’s in that sweet sweet resolve…

No offense, but how do you buy a $1000 dollar piece of software and not look at the system requirements?
Or crack open the manual to look?

The idea of working in h264 makes my head hurt.
I transcode with 5dtorgb, and use the batch script to convert. I’d love for the canon cameras to have a “raw” format which like red, was a compressed pure sensor data, to not add all the crap that one pass h264 adds to an image.

I have to say, Since I got my Wave panel and got used to Davinci, I don’t miss the visual representations at all. Actually, I feel like they’ve been a crutch that makes me more conservative and look at what I’ve done in a primary of an image, instead of trusting my eye, my monitor, and my vectorscope.
As one colorist to another. Coloring without a panel, is like trying to roll dough flat without a roller. or like trying to paint without an easel and a palette. or like trying to cook without tasting. Or perhaps most accurately, trying to sculpt clay without using your hands.
BUY A PANEL. best money you’ll ever spend.

Weird, although maybe it’s the FX4800? I have the GTX285, and I’m currently having issues trying to get a full 30fps out of that (with a GT120 as my obviously). Could it be the 10.6.7?

I have done this out in here Brooklyn, using daVinci and the wave, duvatine, with grommets on hanging hooks, to keep the footprint down, as it’s my living room that transforms into a studio everyday. Clients love the home theatre experience, and I sit adjacent to the couch with the tangent wave. Hard to explain exactly how its setup, but I love it. Honestly I feel like I’ve built myself the best grading experience that I’ve worked in, so far. And I’m really starting to feel that grading on a small screen distorts how you grade, and never want to do it again.
But then, I managed to hide all the equipment in a closet, spent a lot on cables and cable management, and completely hacked a nice dining room table to be my grading station that transforms into a regular looking corner office when I’m not working, and me and the wife are home. The main 50″ plasma goes from a grading monitor to the regular home theatre tv with a flip of a switch.
