i’m working on it. it’s finished but i keep running into a nasty bug which i’m not sure if it’s in fcp, fxscript or my head, but most likely not the latter. hold on. 🙂
(the one i have for vertical scratches mentioned in this thread might help you too)

perhaps we should let them know that their driver does not work with dv out. at least not on my system (4.5).

don’t use quicktime movie export but quicktime conversion. chose quicktime movie, mpeg-4 as your codec and whatever settings you need. for even better results download the 3ivx codec. the results are playable by the default qt codec but the encoding quality is higher plus you get great 2-pass encoding.

dv out doesn’t work on my system with their rt enabler though. i get a small square in the corner of a green background and after a while fcp crashes. i guess i have to install that dc30 card to get monitor output if i choose to use their codec or just their enabler with the pjpeg codec then. or since i’m only using a single computer monitor i guess i can plug my second monitor output to the video monitor via s-video and using desktop preview or whatever it’s called?..

[ezichko] “if i want to apply an effect to the whole sequence is the only way to do it to put it into another sequence and apply it there?”
i believe that is the only way, or using the nest command which is basically the same thing, but what’s wrong with it? i prefer this to avid’s way for sure…

after testing it further it’s definitely not just an entry but actually their own rt extreme driver. telling differences include that the gamma is slightly different, the display flashes a bit when you start and stop, and it doesn’t deinterlace scaled down images. the latter is a major pain imho. if you set display quality to medium it does deinterlace the screen playback, but not the still image when playback stops. it can look really ugly. this is all without a dc30 installed btw.

i have a dc30 card, but not installed. it’s in a pc right now but i’ll try and put in a g4 i got access to and see how it works.
putting dv in a pjpg timeline might still need rendering, but what i did was capture at full res and 75% quality and putting that on a pjpg timeline with the same settings and it ran in realtime, which it didn’t before.

[Aurora Support] “The RT effects in FCP implemented by Squared-5 are just entries in the FCP enabler file”
“just”? if it works it works, right? 🙂 anyway, if you have a dc30 card they claim they use the hardware accelerations in that, and as a matter of fact they claim that they also use the graphics card accelerations as well, and also fix a number of bugs in apple’s rt extreme code. this is all from the squared 5 docs though, so don’t take my word for it…

[Graeme Nattress] “I’d like to see standard PhotoJPEG work though, or interoperability reasons.”
holy shit, it does. all you have to do is intall the dc30 codec, enter the effects handling tab in system preferences and change from fcp to squared 5 next to pjpg. after this realtime effects are enabled for any frame size and compression even for pjpg. fantastic.

for sure. that’s because fcp doesn’t low pass filter when scaling down. scale down in photoshop or similar to just a little bit more than you need for the absolute best results. or use the gaussian blur filter until it shows and then bring it back some. pretty much the same effect.
