The DNxHD QuickTime is a nightmare in Final Cut and completely unusable. Any effect or even just a fade to black causes you to render. And there is a big gama shift from when the playhead is still to when playback is started. Maybe it’s just me, but thats what I got. I converted to file to ProRes, and it worked great.

Yes, thanks a million Dan!

Thanks for the reply Ty. Let me tell you what I’m doing and then I’d love some input from you. Unfortunately I know it’s going to be, “your going to need more mics.” LOL I’m a video producer and do mostly documentary type work. The mic will be used for some on camera run & gun shooting, and also on a stand/boom recording talking head interviews. The interviews are about 50/50 indoors and outdoors. I also have a couple of Tram lav mics. Do you think a shotgun is best for this type of work?
Thanks!

Since we’re on the topic of shotgun mics, I’m going to be in the market for a decent one soon. I don’t want to break the bank, but do want to get something good. What would be recommended in the $1,000 ish price range? I’m using an AT 897 now.
Thanks!

Juan, or anyone who’s updated to 2.5. Would you be willing to upload a short (15 seconds or so) DNxHD QuickTime clip to me so I can toss it into FCP, add some filters, etc and see how it all works out? My direct email is leevideo1@yahoo.com if someone will do that. I have a yousendit.com account that you can use to send it.
Thanks!

And David. I received an email back from BlackMagic tech support that said they had no plans to ad ProRes in the near future, but it is a highly requested upgrade.

Andreas,
I’m with you on this. I’m still on FCP 7, and when it comes to the point where I need to make a change, I’m going to seriously look at all platforms. The good thing is that 7 is going to be just fine for awhile, so I’ll be able to watch how Apple evolves over the next year, but it definitely seems like they are moving into a completely consumer based i pad market. Sad.
I have NO problem moving to the DNxHD/Quicktime files, but many people have said it doesn’t play well with FCP. I’d love to get ahold of a clip and play around with it.

Juan, are you editing in Final Cut? If so, is it running well with the DNxHD/QuickTime?
-
YES! The ability to record to ProRes422, or 422HQ would be fantastic. Does anyone know the data rate on the DNxHD/QuickTime, and how much recording time that relates to on a 256Gig drive?
-
Great timing. I’ve been looking around for ways to work with DNxHD in Final Cut Pro, but it looks like the codec in a Quicktime .mov wrapper should work. Can you confirm that this has been tested with Final Cut and runs well? Also, based on the DNxHD/QTime data rate, what kind of recording time are we looking at on a 256gig SSD?
Thanks!
