The edit is about 50 events. No clip is longer than 2 minutes in the edit. Some source clips are 45min long. Media is IMX Quicktimes from FCP7 in HD & SD.

The Isis is connected via dual gigabit ethernet. The ISIS drive is 4.5TB capacity and fairly full.

System is a MacPro 3.1 running 10.6.8, 9GB ram.

Any other info I can provide?

EDIT: I media managed the project on to a local drive (rather than the ISIS) and the conform was almost instant. So I have a work around, just a very arduous one.

Hi Chris,

Having just done a Red feature, go for one real per project as it is more stable for importing updated XML.

Due to the processing overhead on the older system I was working on, I extracted the red files before grading, but working straight from the red files should be easy. Grade at 1/2 or 1/4 res then outpur at full res. I’d run a test render on you system to check it’s going to be fast enough.

Good luck,

Marcus

I spoke to a Sony tech guy a few days ago. Apparently the software for the X-Rite, hasn’t been released yet and he said he was going to get training on it in the next month. In the meantime, your pretty limited in your calibration options to the Konica Minolta.

I have mine with Sony at the moment to calibrate it, as it arrived with a very warm / yellow white point.

Read this article about where to put the plug ins:

Also restart FCP when you’re done.

Glad you like my plugs.

As An update, it seems to be a problem with RGB output on HD. I notice playback drop out when loading RGB tifs into the viewer of FCP as well.

I am running an HD link pro as park of my HD monitoring.

Cheers,

Marcus

Not to blow my own trumpet, but try the free plug in I wrote called face light. It’s on my website along witha free vignette filter.

Facelight is based on the LOTR ‘elves’ grading look and makes people prettier without looking trashy IMHO.
