Hi Bruce,
I suspect Avid will update, to allow for 35Mb/s… but who really knows when…
I just want to make sure I can get by in HDV (25Mb/s) mode in the meantime.
I’ll post again if I get any more info.
cheers,
Malcolm

Thanks Joe,
I appreciate the reply.
I’ve posted myself silly on the Avid Xpress Pro (Mac) forum. I’ve also posted, to no avail, on the CC CineAlta HD site. Not much interest, it seems.
But I did just get word from someone else, so here’s an update:

This guy, by the way, does indeed have the EX1 and Avid Xpress Pro… but on a PC.
And he’s able to do this:
– shoot 25Mb/s
– export MXF files (via clip browser) to his PC
– import these MXF files into Avid Xpress Pro.

So now I know you can shoot with the EX1 (25Mb/s anyway) and edit it in Xpress Pro. On the PC side…

The only question now is:
will clip browser (for the Mac) export MXF files?

Cheers,
Malcolm

This hasn’t stirred up much interest… possibly no Avid Xpress Pro editors out there who also shoot (as I hope to do) with the new EX1.
Nevertheless, I’ll update with some info I just got.

I just heard from a guy who’s got the EX1 and Avid Xpress Pro… but on a PC.

P.S. I’ll post this on the CC Avid editing site as well. One way or another, I’m hoping to find someone who’s shooting with the new EX1, and editing on AXP… on a Mac (what are the odds?)
