OK. So he’s a good self promoter! But still, it’s an impressive accomplishment.

Andreas,
I’m a big fan of your typical rants, but I think you’re off base on this one.
I just watched the afore mentioned clip and I have to say I was VERY impressed. Topping off a genny in the middle of the night is one thing, but setting up this kind of complex workflow is quite an accomplishment.
To any critics of Mr Cioni’s braggadocio , I say, “What have you done lately to rival this?” Remember, it aint bragging if it’s true!
I know a little about workflow innovation and the very real concept of organizational inertia. To accomplish what he’s describing on a scale like this picture is a “buzz worthy” effort. So, yes, perhaps the music choice was a bit “big”, but so was the effort. I for one appreciate the detail and depth of the explanation. So there you go. I’m a fan of Light iron!

John,
You can do that today with Apple Remote desktop.

Our interviews are primarily on green screen. Therefore, when you punch in, you can easily send the background into a greater blur, mimicking the optics of a longer lense. It actually works quite well.

RE: 4K
There are some surprising uses for 4K that you may not have considered. Even in reality TV!
Example: Let’s say you have an interview with TWO people on camera. One 4K camera can give you THREE camera angles: WS, CU left, CU RT. With a loosely framed “two shot” you simply “punch in” on the CU as needed. 4K can support a 300 per cent blow up for a CU and still have the same resolution as HD. In other words, you can get three camera coverage out of a single media file. That’s pretty efficient.
We’re already doing this.
4K… consider the possibilities!

Mr. Zelin,
I am impressed! Great detective work.
It appears that you have truly discovered a “faster, better, cheaper” workflow for FCP-X shared storage.
Looking forward to hearing how this plays out in the real world.mark

don’t know.

Paul,
We have six pro tools rooms running off of an ISIS 5000. They are connected via single gig E cable.
Works fine. Latency is NOT an issue with more recent versions (PT 11).

[Bill Davis] “Everyone in the car business is talking about Tesla, right?”
Bill,
I drive a Tesla… does that mean I have to agree with you now?

[Bill Davis] “But there’s a case to be made that in the modern metadata world, Traditional timecode is a less critical and, more important, DIMINISHINGLY USEFUL – tool.
“No argument here… I’d just argue HOW diminishing. Depending on the size scale and scope of your project, I’d argue that TC can either be a minor issue or a dead in the water deal breaker.
Bill, In your rush to move forward into your brave new database/keyword world, you’re dismissing an effective time honored (pun intended) tool that serves a useful purpose for multiple workflows, genres, and editorial styles. If Apple was in agreement with you, they probably would have eliminated TC reading from the program. They didn’t.
I’m well past the realization that FCP-X was NOT optimized for me and the kinds of workflows that I rely upon. No hard feelings. It’s business. Just please stop preaching that we just don’t “Get it”. I DO GET IT! It’s NOT for me and my specific needs. That doesn’t belittle you or anyone else. It just means that it’s NOT right for a certain kind of workflow that I require.
Now let’s get back to arguing about total cost of ownership, shall we?
