September 27, 2012 at 8:49 pm in reply to: DPX render speed

Upgraded to 9.0.1
still the same issue…
Now testing a little has interesting outcome by rendering 16bit TIFF (way larger file than 10bit DPX) is 44FPS!?

Anybody want to chew on that?

Hi

Is there a major difference say proRez or DPX?
I have noticed that HFS volumes handle single frame formats much more efficiently than NTFS so there might be something there. Anyhow I got all rendered and will continue trials with final V9 to see if there is any help.

The Raid is Atto R680 with 8x3TB disks in Raid5 so the data throughput cannot be the problem.

Thank You

September 7, 2012 at 12:11 pm in reply to: How to replace conformed media with full lenght originals

Hi

It seems version A (well there are no reel ID’s but I should be able to do it by folders at minimum) but I don’t know if the media is same names. Anyhow I will start to play with this tonight and will post my findings for anyone else that might find it helpful.

I think that colortrace could copy over all remote versions, that would be “muy” helpful.

Thank You

Never-mind it works, it was just very similar shot but different position in original footage.

Thank You

Thank You
I must re-learn how to use google as I spent good few hours trying to find the supported file format list.
Funny thing is that compressed targa shows up as sequence but will not display properly. Maybe uncompressed works. I just use would love to use jpeg as 3 ch Matte, oh well back to hated QT.

Thank You

Hi

well the difference is minute, so unless You need pull keys from all-ready graded footage or You are not happy with some qualifiers in Your current grade, I would expect that nobody will see the difference. I had to apply very heavy contrast and the zoom in about 300% to see that some grain was missing. In 1:1 monitoring I could not spot it.
I would do a still from win system on single shot, take it to mac and split screen it – just to see if it is worth the hassle.

Just to be sure repeated the same test under OSX and there is no loss of detail.
All this once again proves that 8bit can be very good source, it is not the bits but the quality of the image that will show artifacts.

Hi

Late, but better than never….
The QT seems to be 8bit as I converted the file in AE to full range DPX and then applied same grade to both clips (lift -0.2, gain 2.2) I see definite loss of detail in gradations.

To bad have to keep working on my hackmac

January 22, 2012 at 12:21 pm in reply to: monitoring i/o scaling or full res card needed? (can I use the HD card for 2k footage or do I need the 4k card?)

Hi

Can You output 4K from davinci somehow (I think the 4K card is not yet shipping and once it will, will it work?)

Thank You

Hi

Usually it is not that easy to spot it, I have been cut before by having QT decode wrong bit depth in other systems and working away fro quite a while before I understand what is wrong. I will try to render one of the clips to 8bit in AE and compare, will post tomorrow what I find out.

Thank You
Kaspar
