We did convert it to ProRess and we can pitch the sound by 16% which is a fix. But I wish they would make it work at 25 like i should! I guess it’s the old USA centre of the universe story.

Hi Ron

I don’t entirely agree to that, as we’ve been looking at what Quantel are up and the only reason it popped on the radar was that they were at IBC doing some cool new stuff that we didn’t expect. Obviously after that noisy trying to get a appointment at the stand did we have a one to one in Soho.

I just have no idea what Avid are up to and at these shows I’m all ears on what is happening. Then during the rest of the year I’m working out which problem I need to solve.

Mmm what should I do now… ahh yea color 1.02 see what they have fixed and not!

I missed AVID at IBC this year. Which is probably one of the maddest thing I could say as we run only FCP.

We always take the company to Amsterdam to give them an idea what new technologies are out there and have a good time. It’s a great and very effective way to see what there is out there. All our major purchasing decisions are influenced at these shows. If we are interested we generally set up follow up meeting.

I know Avid do road shows but I’ve never seen one or heard one and we are based in Soho. So to me there are not very effective. I way prefer to go once to a show than having all these multiple demos and generally when I see something new and interesting I go round to other stands and see if they can do it and how.

I’ve always found it a very weird that AVID decided not to go to IBC for the last 3 years and maybe if they had we would have got a system. Especially one that runs on a Mac.

Thanks, we ended up installing FCP 5…. for a new era of problems…

What I can gather is when we play the clip in quicktime it’s all there. And then when we import it it’s corrupted.
