We have done one greenscreen shoot with the HVX200 and are very pleased with the results. Keying in Combustion.

Unless you get an SDI to DVI converter (which I haven’t tried yet). We find the analog component inputs don’t look so great. Smearing, pixelation etc..

[Dan Brockett] “I bought the Dell 2405 for this purpose. The picture looks great and this is probably the cheapest solution to see 1:1 pixels in HD.”
What input are you using to monitor the HD signal on the 2405?

I think it’s fair to say that a lot of video professionals (no disrespect to those who do not make the living using these tools) have made a decision to buy PPRO and find it wanting in a few critical areas.
Adobe developers and product managers: pay attention and get this message to management!! Get this stuff done (mxf support, media management, global effects manipulation) as a first priority for a patch. There is a lot of pent up need in the market and if Adobe does not respond, it may miss a significant percentage of market share. In other words, you’ll miss major $$$$, maybe that will get the message across?

I’d sure be interested to know if there is, in fact, a structural barrier to the implementation of a flexible bin structure. I don’t feel like getting led around by the nose by Adobe for the next several years.
Fact is, as far as we can tell, that this and the lack of an ability to apply and unapply effects to a series of clips are the two major gotchas with PPRO. Fix these and lots of doubters will flock to the product.
So……..any product management types from Adobe care to enlighten us (the customers)? Hmmmmmm???

Petulant, now there’s a word you don’t hear every day.
When I hitch my wagon to a vendor I do not want to listen to my editors complain about slowdowns in workflow, I do not want to listen to my editors complain about missing features like the lack of global effects, I do not want to listen to my editors compain about system stability. I do not want my editors to worry that they are riding the wrong technical horse and limioting their career paths. I do not want to be left out in the cold by a big corporate machine.
It’s the same old story and it’s getting a bit stale. After several years as a PAYING CUSTOMER of software/hardware vendors, I am losing my tolerance for the old “hurry up and wait for the next version” for features and reliability that should be fundamental in a product offering.
Adobe, listen to your users and get the basics right. Bring some heavy hitting professinal users in to your product development pipeline, now. I guarantee that it will pay dividends in your quest for market share and after sale revenue.

Add to this the inability to apply effects and/or settings “globally” to clips on a timeline and the positive attributes (which are many) of PPRO 2.0 pale, quickly.

Our experience with the Dell 2405 as an HD monitor is not positive. Grainy, ugly contrast and smearing.

The HVX200 camera performed great. We did not do anything that we would not have done with an SD shoot against greenscreen. The results are very good.

We shot with the P2 camera yesterday. We used a laptop to load the P2 cards using the PCMCIA slots and off-loaded the files, then recorded more and so on. At the end of the day we went back to the shop and reversed the process and sreamed the footage to our AXIO with firewire. Make sure you copy all of the folders, not just the MXF files in the video folder.
MATROX!!! Get this mxf stuff and firewire control of the P2 cameras sorted out soon!!! Please??????? We are begging!!!
