haa haa
bloody texan!
big drives are the answer to all problems!
this is the first time I am ever doing a paid job on Premier Pro, and am using a rented laptop because mine chose last week to kick the bucket. The reason I dont have a lacie firewire drive is because I didnt think of it, and I leave for this convention early Tuesday morning, not sure if the producer will be too happy about renting external drives too now that we had to rent the laptop. 40kb/f and a good solid recap would be far better for me.
catcha later, Axio man.

[marisu fronc] “so Axio, while intriguing to me personally, isn’t in the cards for our facility.”

heh heh, intended pun no?

for me, something like a digisuite or T2000 with dv input would be great… maybe sometime though with drive prices pretty low there dosent seem to be a hell of a lot of people grumbling for lower-than-DV bitrates… I would certainly use them, like this week I’m editing on a laptop (have to) and only have 30 gigs spare room, so have to be very careful what I digitise… and i prefer making those selections once I have captured almost everything, and not while capturing.

Hi there Marisu,

I hope all is well with you?!

The DV thing comes up because there does not seem to be a card, other than Axio, which will allow the user to capture at various bitrates. It seems Decklink regards DV as an offline quality, and you recapture uncompressed. If you recapture uncompressed, it means you have some format which is better than DV, like BetaSP or DigiBeta etc… Also, from what I gather, there is no card which will allow you to capture to a DV codec from Component inputs, so you have to have some box to convert to DV even if you are just capturing for offline.

I dont care too much about Axio’s realtime stuff, I just would like a card that allows the user to choose the compression ratio, going all the way down to 40kbf, and that would allow capturing a 5:1 via component cables… is there such a thing, i wonder?

catch you later
x mark.

Hi Shane, yep that’s me…

For most the stuff I do, DV quality is fine for final, so I want a card with much more compression.

If you have a Component Betacam SP tape, how do you capture the DV codec? Can you capture DV codec through the Component Decklink inputs, or do you have to have some box that converts Component to firewire?

Thanks Shane,
Mark.

Hi Kristian,

I was wondering, are these JPEG compressed codecs available for PC too, and can one edit on Premier Pro 1.5 using them with the Decklink cards?

Thanks,

Mark.

[Tim Kolb] “…but my personal favorite is Canopus’s “Imaginate”. It is far faster than any other software I’ve ever seen and v2 can now do multiple pictures in a “timeline/comp” fashion.”

yeah, i would agree, imaginate is very fast and quality is excellent, renders are blazingly fast.
one gotcha, if you want to change the interpolation of the keyframes, you cannot be ON the keyframe, you must be past it, then you can change the keyframe interpolation in the dropdown for that parameter.
