The system is smoking hot but the market just got smaller. Four $4k, you get a 6-core, 16 GB of RAM and 3GB of video ram. Still no monitor.
For $3,300 on the iMac side, Quad core, 32 gb of ram, 4gb video ram, monitor included.
I know there’s alot more under the hood of the new MacPro, but geez, my iMac will handle 99% of my needs. (of course I’m not doing 4k, but who its)

Not sure if this would work, but Livestream has a box that takes various inputs and streams the pic live.

September 24, 2013 at 10:33 pm in reply to: Adobe CC for a television series!? Workflow thoughts..Walter, just curious, are you considering switching from Resolve to Speedgrade with the next CC update?
Just wondering with a true roundtrip workflow, will people consider the switch.

Oh, the other thing you might want to think about is just exporting a audio file out of ProTools, dropping that on your original sequence in Premiere and taking that sequence into a 4:3 space before export. That will give you one less compression to do.

To answer your last question first, yes, Adobe uses Media Encoder for all compressions. Media Encoder is also where you set up your ProRes setting.
In Premiere, when you hit Export > Media, that is actually Media Encoder and allows you to choose Quicktime as your format, scroll down to choose ProRes as your codec on your Video tab.
To make things easier in the future, you can save out a preset with these settings and just click on that preset each time.

Sidenote: Q and W are shortcuts for Heads/Tails edits. You must have a custom keyboard setup.

August 21, 2013 at 1:27 pm in reply to: Super Strange Unknown Error in Premiere – Any Ideas?We had a very similar problem yesterday but it wasn’t the dynamic link that was a problem, it was comps being in a Premiere timeline. One of our editors brought comps directly into the timeline and they played well for a while, then the project corrupted. Nothing worked from bringing up autosave to previous versions until the comps were deleted.
Still working on CS6 at work. I know Adobe is working hard to improve dynamic linking and CC is supposed to be better. I have CC at home but haven’t really used dynamic linking yet so don’t know if it is better.

August 15, 2013 at 1:52 am in reply to: Do video production clients expect to pay taxes?Not really answering your question, but years ago, and I do mean years ago, I worked at a production company that billed dubs on a different invoice. According to that state, as soon as you put dubs on the invoice, you are going beyond offering a service and actually offering a product. Therefore, the entire invoice was subject to tax.
So we invoiced the dubs separately which meant taxes on $50 – $150 as opposed to taxing $5000-$10000.

Sometimes, you can change the .ts extension to .mpg and they will work. Just try it on a copy of course. Worth a shot.
