[Matt Press] “The widget I got deals with uncompressed not specifically Sony HDCAm.”

Then you’re using the wrong widget! The videospace widget has just about every codec imaginable. It’s a great tool and I use it frequently.

Tim,

Your thoughts are well reasoned, and considering your past work experience, certainly well informed.

But, through out this whole discussion there seems to be one perspective missing….APPLE.

NOBODY, through out this lengthy thread, has delivered a believable, attributable reason WHY Apple would want to do this. All the speculation has been from the other side. It’s good for Thomson, it’s bad for Avid, Adobe would like it… who cares?

Where’s the smoking gun? What’s the REAL reason for this “deal” to take place? Until someone can point that out, the rest is just noise… and I’m tired of it.

CHeck this out.

It built on top of Filemaker, so if you have that already, you’re half way there. Scales up to any operation size from 1 seat to many.

[Scott Thomas] “To me, this sounds like a rumor circulated by Avid to make themselves appear to be a more sound choice.
“

Bingo!

Ron,

Interesting POV.

I’ve always felt that the “personal touch”, be it in tech support or individual marketing always carries more weight than a big glitzy display. Having said that, I once read that advertising is as much about selling to new customers as it is about reassuring your existing customers that they’ve made the right choice.

So, even though I made my choice years ago, it’s reassuring to go to NAB and see the big flashy booth with hundreds of people clamoring about. Of course, if no one is clamoring over the competition, I guess it’s a moot point.

Here in Los Angeles I may have more access to Apple resources than someone in say, Bismarck, North Dakota. Therefore, the fact that Apple is passing on NAB this year is really a “non-event” for me.

I think the bottom line here is that people don’t like change. Even though change is inevitable, it scares them. What we’re witnessing here is a major change in the way that trade shows do business. I agree with you that we probably haven’t seen the end of the NAB defections.

I’m still going to NAB this year, but as always, for me it’s as much about the people as the products. As you’ve correctly pointed out, web resources like the Cow and other sites have gone a long way towards making the availability of information easier. But, if you hadn’t had a booth at NAB I would never have met you. There are many people who live in other countries that I would never have met if not for NAB. So, perhaps the focus of the conference should move towards more “people oriented” than product oriented.

These are interesting times.

I can also confirm that this is NOT a unique problem.

When we updated to 6.02 it seems to have gone away… or maybe we’re just not using that workflow anymore!

Todd,

You may want to pause a minute before definitively stating that someone is having a unique problem. As you can see from the several posts below, clearly others have experienced the same thing. Just because you haven’t experienced it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

try all of the above, plus, you may want to try “down rezzing” the clip into off-line RT. That really looks like crap! Might just do the trick for you! Or, change it to black and white, and alter the frame rate to 15 fps.

Finally, the thing that “sells” the security cam look the most is camera placement. If the angle is “high and wide” and locked down, that’s going to look the most like a security cam. Anything else is just going to look fake.

When trying to do this drastic of a time lapse, you should create a separate QT movie. That should play just fine.

[Jeremy Garchow] “Jack Joyce] “Does anyone know of an authoritative, plain-English explanation on the Web of these issues?” “

Try googling “24p”. There’ ton’s of info out there. wikipedia is also a good place to start.

The misunderstanding of the “progressive frame” concept is only exceeded by the misunderstanding of the difference between “Drop and Non-Drop” Time Code.

Don’t get me started on trying to explain “1080 Progressive segmented frame”…
