Also the new speed editor keyboard will be included with Resolve 17 at no extra cost if you purchase through a reseller. Since R17 is only in public beta and not yet in actual release, resellers won’t have it yet.

More here on BMD’s microsite for Resolve

The Cut page does seem like a bit of a hybrid between FCPX and linear, 2-VTR editing. Both edit keyboards are really only designed for the Cut page and not the Edit page. Clearly this is where Grant’s heart is.

They did this with “Black Mirror,” too. Tony Kearns, the editor, discussed it with me here.

One hitch is that you have to produce a LOT of extra content to make the branching possible.

What operating system is your computer running? Windows 10? A quick web search did turn up KWorld, but there are no current drivers. So if you are on Windows 10, it’s unlikely that the computer will even recognize the device. So the first issue will be to try a more recent driver for the KWorld, if you can find one and then see if you can get it to work. If that works, then you would need to go to the next level and find the right capture program. An alternative to the KWorld might be Elgato.

You need to turn that video signal into a data signal that is compatible for the computer.
If you don’t already own any sort of i/o device, you may need to invest in the lowest cost BMD hardware that can take an analog signal. This will come with a capture utility so you can record the VHS video to your hard drives. Once captured, then you can edit and/or encode it into whatever format you need.
DVDs do not use MPEG4. They use MPEG2 of a specific type and data rate. This mean you will also need an authoring/DVD creation application to complete the process.

I’m not sure about DNx specifically, but Avid has certainly received quite a few engineering Emmys over the years.
Remember that ProRes is a family of acquisition, post, and delivery codecs, which now includes a camera RAW codec. I believe that’s unique, although I suppose you could stretch the RAW definition a bit to include Cineform or DNx RGB uncompressed.
In any case, an award like this is in part due to the impact on the industry. I would dare say that ProRes has had more overall impact on the business for a codec, than has DNx, in spite of its SMPTE certification.
If you review the rest of that video, quite a lot of other ideas and products received Emmys, too, such as Teradici.

Bill,
I’m not saying it’s a bad idea, but why did you feel the need to do a fresh install on your 16″ MBP? That’s a very recent machine, so it probably shipped with a version of Mojave. Right? Therefore, the OS update should have been very easy without any issues. Just curious.

You might want to look at Hedge’s Postlab plus Drive. This lets you collaborate as a team, and media is sync’ed via Drive sort of like Dropbox’s SmartSync. Best with proxy media. I reviewed it here:

The write-up is FCPX-centric, however, it works with Premiere as well.

We’ll have to agree to disagree. Both have pros and cons and we can each point to anecdotes where one is faster than the other in specific circumstances. But the beauty is that there’s choice.
I think that it’s incorrect to say that X defaults “to what most editors would do.” That really depends on the style of editor that you are. For example, if you are the type of editor that prefers to build things up through sequences rather than extensive keywording and ranges in the browser, then Premiere/Media Composer/Resolve/other are a better fit.
