The good for me was 64bit and background rendering. Everything else was interesting more than of interest. And I’m left asking the following questions…
Where is the source window? What support does it have multicam? what are the 3d options? Can I still edit to tape? Can I still produce EDLs? Are these new flashy import modes distructable- ie can I remove stabilisation afterwards?
There has been lots of chatter on other forums about whether it is pro not pro or imovie pro etc. the thing is there is a lot of different flavours of pro and it might well be the perfect tool and pay a lot of pros bills, but most of the anouncements make scant difference to my work. I cannot really make a decision until I’ve used it, but the argument that we have to change our ways is kind of bollocks if the shows we work on dont. If I cannot use it in a ‘conventional’ way as well as the new bells and whistles way, no matter how ‘awesome’ it is, I feel I might be doing more Avid jobs…

Thanks to all your responses, after much hair pulling I decided to remove the AJA plugs from the plugins folder and deleted a few older plugins that had been around pre CS3! Not sure which of the plugs (or all of them) were the problem, but am now happilly have full 25fps ram preview without any stuttering even when using intensive plugs like Form and Particular.

Although I accept Ty’s possible suggestion of exporting track files as .wavs or aifs, this idea is a real donkey as you lose the handle data, at which point you might as well just finish it in the FCP if you insist on tying your hands behind your back and making life harder.
Not only that you’d have to go through the entire edit removing any pan/ dips/ fades etc. Then rebuild them in PT. If you are working with and therefor exporting 24 tracks, as I am right now, you’d probably just give up. In other words it would be a total turd of an idea…

Thanks for the help, the 1204 seems about right for the purposes we need it for (though I’d rather go for the mackie, faders being of little interest to me). oh and bob I manufacture cheese for a living, thought that be obvious from my post…

okay that makes sense but surely there is a way of doing this in FCP? Why do I need to return to the avid? If i absolutely have to i can, but it would save alot of time if i could do it in the FCP suite.

video is in sync with broadcast and other outputs from multibridge, the only thing out is the audio from the hdlink output. monitor connected is 23″ apple, but as i said picture is sync.

Cheers Luke,
I also noticed a large lag (several frames) on the audio output from the HDLink.

it was a bent pin on the card. but i had great support from dreamtek in london who supplied me with a new card and everything is now quite dandy. However i do have a couple of questions. I want to digitise 25p 4.2.2 SR and i cant seem to find a capture preset. I could make a preset for sequences, but what do i do for the digitise? I also want to know if it is possible to view 25 frame HD and SD simultaneously? Thanks for everyones support.
