What do you do for Thunderbolt ports?

Any chance you can just give them a copy of the camera originals for the VFX shots with timecode notes? I don’t believe Premiere Pro can export 4444XQ. Otherwise, send a clip of the EXR you generated and see if that works for the VFX vendor.

You seem like you are well on your way. But don’t hesitate to ask. Good luck.

[Tony West] “One example of working for yourself in this biz would be, you approach the same client that the production house approaches instead of the production house. There’s nobody in-between you and the client.”

Yep. I live in that world every day. It simply doesn’t pan out for most people in reality.

[Tony West] “My main thought was what percentage of those12 year olds will be looking to work for someone else or themselves in the future.”

With all due respect, working for yourself is such a pipe dream. Even if you are self-employed, you still have someone – like clients or the shop you work out of – to answer to. Not everyone will be a “YouTube star”.

Look at high-end feature film and TV editors. They essentially work for themselves. Yet even there they only rarely can dictate a software preferences other than Avid Media Composer, since that’s typically what’s deployed and expected on those productions. And entire team workflows are built around that as a known quantity.

Actually it may not be a firmware issue, but rather choice of codecs. The 3.0 firmware update enables a 10-bit 4:2:2 All-I AVC VBR recording at up to 400 Mbps. QuickTime X player won’t open these files either. The DP tells me he can’t open these in the free version of Resolve, only VLC. So it’s probably the 10-bit issue. The “good” EVA1 files I tested were 8-bit using one of the other codec options. So it’s still a curiosity that Compressor can’t open all of the same pro codecs that FCPX can open.

[Tony West] “I base things I say on personal experiences for the most part. I have a cousin who just showed me his work that was really impressive. He’s 12. Anybody can go on youtube and see kids putting up X videos. That’s not a secret.”

I’m not questioning that. Only that such anecdotal experience can’t really be extrapolated to the industry at large.

[Tony West] “with so many young people starting to cut at a very young age in X (sometimes as young as 12)”

I think that’s an assumption, which isn’t supported quantitatively. Especially given the small market share that Macs enjoy. I run into way more young editors (early 20s) who know Premiere, but not X. If anything, Resolve is the NLE to watch out for.

So this does appear to be a firmware issue with the camera. I tested some other EVA1 files from a different camera and Compressor is OK with those. One other difference is that the files in question are 4096 wide, while the “good” files are 3840. Not sure if that’s a factor or not.

Compressor 4.4.4
