Many projectors can change between colour spaces. You should look for a setting called “sRGB” or something like “FILM”.

Sorry, couldn’t resist resonating the emptiness Apple sometimes leaves behind…

Make an export of part of your project and put it on an external hard drive. Find someone who has a calibrated color monitor (SMPTE), and go there to see if your colors generally are OK.

The industry norm is to use a SMPTE video monitor, normally connected to the computer via a SDI card.

Would be interesting to see a similar test with H264 footage.

Hi Bob

The reason that we built our current storage system, based on a MacPro Server, and the SmallTree card with Jumbo Frames enabled, was actually your great advice on this forum.

This system has been totally reliable, and has delivered the necessary bandwidth for editing with 3 workstations (compressed media). So if I just exchanged the Array to a larger model, I would retain the performance that we have gotten used to.

But now my reseller is offering me a dedicated NAS system, much like the ProMax or SNS solutions, which they have made successful installs with for a couple of other editing companies, and I was just curious if such systems are advisable to use?

I will certainly also look for quotes from the kind gentlemen who have chimed in on this forum. But to be honest, I am more comfortable with sticking to the local reseller (Denmark that put together our original system, since they also have great support.

If you ask Prelude to copy your files to another location, it will rename with your settings. Also you can use this step to trim your files if you choose to Transcode.

The new Prelude CC lets you rename files with your own names, and sequential numbering. Also checkout the easy way to make sub clips and append notes.

Don’t know about PC, but the new Pr CC seems to be much more responsive with AVCHD material on Mac.
