Like Avid you can either buy or rent – $29 to buy or .49 cents month to rent – I’m thinking of buying as there are many times I don’t have the .49 cents in my account and I’d hate to lose access…

British humor is one of my absolute favorite things in the world – sensed none of it from your posts. Just weird over-reaction to a really nice spot, regardless of what it was shot on…

Lot’s of anger for what? Of course not all car commercials will be shot like this, but this one was and if you’ve really directed high-end car commercials you’d not be reacting this way. No go warm up some Sake and chill.

I watched it twice and other than the strobing fog lights I think the whole piece is great – great framing, editing, pacing, music and message. The black & white grade had a 60’s French new wave feel that I love.
I personally like the blown out highlights and technically they don’t matter (2 t’s) because the face is exposed properly. Sure it could look flawless if shot on something like an Alexa but no one out site of these forums will ever care.

Thanks Oliver – I think I’ll get it soon and mess around but not use it on my current gig. I have to deliver a 5.1 mix for theatrical screening so I’ll stick with Vegas on this one. Hoping it great as I’d like to get away from the whole pc/mac back and forth thingy…

So the big question is – is Logic complete enough to be used for sound design and final mix including surround mix for a show? I’ve never used it but would give it a go if there’s some glowing endorsements from folks delivering shows with it.

I agree if it’s a good NLE it could really hurt Adobe and Avid more than Apple – most folks have already paid their $299 for FCPX so even if they completely stop using it it won’t effete Apple. I’m a CC subscriber and would have no prob downgrading to Photoshop only subscription if editing in Resolve is as good as I hope…

Steve and Charlie – have either one of you had a live demo of Resolve 11? If it’s stable its gonna be huge. Remember its FREE! And the $999 version has workgroup features that we’ve all dreamed about. For those who love FCPX but still wish it had things like tracks, an audio mixer and better collaborative tools it may be the answer. And it may be the first cross-platform NLE to truly make both Windows and Mac users happy.
If you love FCPX as is, it will simply be an enhancement to your workflow with true round-tripping. Maybe the first release of 11 won’t be there but the writing is on the wall – BMD is serious about this thing.

Thanks Walter – you’re right Vegas started as a DAW and Pro Tools competitor – Sonic Foundry added video capabilities in version 2 which is when I started using it. Vegas was the first NLE to have real-time dissolves and fades on picture (DV days). I think the only reason Vegas doesn’t get its due is because its Windows only. I was already a FCP 1 user when I discovered Vegas and me and my Mac only buddies were floored by it at the time but they refused to use it because they thought Bill Gates was satan – truly. But the proginal programmers were all Windows gurus which is why Vegas was 10 years ahead on Pro Tools on many features.
I don’t do much picture editing in Vegas anymore but I still mix everything I can with it. I still find it way faster than any other DAW and doing 5.1 mixes is a breeze. In the past I’ve cut and mixed many shows on it and being able to sound design, mix, cut picture and color time were huge. Unfortunately they’ve fallen way behind on real-time picture and none of the fx and plug-ins for picture have ever been improved, in fact, when they switched to OpenFX they redesigned many plug-ins and made them worse – strange…

Whoops I was talking internal only. Yes the CION will send data out the 3G SDI or the Thunderbolt port depending on what you’re recording. It wouldn’t be a Ki Pro Quad though as that’s basically inside the CION and is Pro Res only.
CHEF, which opens this weekend was shot ALEXA in Pro Res for cost and time constraints. I’m sure it looks great on the big screen.
