I’ve been using it for about 8 hours… doing some heavy testing. Had one crash right after i installed the drivers and just recently had another crash while i was playing some rt motion with motion, live type, dvd sp and sountrack running in the background… i Had 4 sequences open all in different resolutions and frame rates. After 6 or so hours of very heavy tesing… so far only one crash.
I will probably start using this system with clients in the next few days.So far I am very, very impressed.

at what speed does your sata card run? You need to find one that runs atleast 100mhz in order to take advantage of the hd capabilities of the hd pro card.

“cutting chunks” out is the way it’s done in fcp 4.5… sorry:(…. in fcp 5 there is “multicam” which would allow you to do it on the fly by pushing a button.

[Melvin Royster] “can the Pansonic 100 and/or 100A camera shoot at a slower rate?”
No. The Panisonic Varicam (HD camera) can but not very slow … 60 fps.
[Melvin Royster] “And what is slow rate in a film camera?”
Depends on how much of an effect they want …. i would imagine it could be half or quater speed… so 48fps or 96fps. Doing something like that camera effect takes alot of work, planning and most of all experience. Play around practice… If you can find a super 8 camera that allows cranking… try it with that first.

the singers are lip syncing to slow playback of their song… the girls are dancing at normal spee… and the whole thing is being shot slow. Wehn played back at full speed, the singerare signing to the track at normal speed and the girls are dancing fast. It’s not a digital effect… it’s a camera effect.

Every CG movie, be it from Pixar, Dreamworks or BlueSky has used 2k to finish.

Yes, they call it “Squeeze”.

The “general ‘buzz’at the booth” is that Media 100 is dead. Somebody should really call this one in already, they had the media 100 section tucked away in the back of the optibase both, practically no one is there, they have one machine and one 844/x with absolutely nothing interesting to talk about. It’s a pretty sorry state.

The BMD Decklink has 24p down conversion! You could set it manually by changing the output setting since the very first HD card. Now it’s a software enabled feature.
Since the cards are roughly the same… as far as drivers go I think the BMD drivers are much more mature, they’ve been around a couple of years more than the kona 2 drivers and I believe the current version 4.8 is much more stable and less buggy than the current Kona drivers 1.05.
BMD used to have a policy of doing sort of public beta testing… this resulted in some buggy drivers… they’ve since become much more strict about testing their new drivers and have for the last few revisions released mature driver updates. 4.8 is completely bug free.
But I think you’re fairly safe with either card.
