Hi,
I would have singled out the dual Graphics cards but you tried that… so that leaves pictures sizes for stills and perhaps the animation codecs. I know my fcp does not like them. does not crash every time but deifinitely has trouble digesting some of them. You mention “the hard drive”. Surely you are not operating on one single drive (system + apps + media) are you?

Hi Ben,
we’re using such a setup in house with the EVS in the studios pushing clips to our xsan which is connected via FC to 5 fcp stations.
We had problems in the past with evs clips ending mega fragmented on the san (up to 27000 fragments). This the xsan did not like one bit. As a not so quick patch we made copies of the files before using them. Then EVS had a patch for the x2 and until then the files are much less fragmented and actually usable as is.
I am more on the operating side than technical so I can’t give you more info. I guess you coud contact Mike Shore at EVS or perhaps Mike Davis for more details. NBC uses a mixture of EVS IP Director, IP Edit, Avid and FCP systems at the olympics too and it works. Not sure if it all is GigE or what.
hope this helps,
Patrice

Hi,
very interesting thread. Underlines a confusion that I think is a recurrent one, at least in these parts: There is Color Correction, and there is Grading. In french we have Correction Colorimetrique and Etalonnage respectively.
I am primarily an editor and do lots of Color Correction. That’s what I’ll do before a screening, at whatever stage of the edit. Because I am not a colorist nor had the time to study Color, I hand out the Grading to our guy with the Baselight system.
For CC most of the time the 3 way built in will do, or Colorista for more desperate or sophisticated cases. But that’s for CC. And when I work with MC or even a Symphony I still work this way.
A long time ago I did some Telecine work (Cintels and FDL 90), and we did not have a Pandora, DaVinci or such. This is why I am still nt a colorist. But You got me thinking about Color. I should mke the time to study it.
Thank you for an informative thread.

Mocha is great but since you own Final Cut Studio you could give it a try with Motion…

That’s what I ment: you need all your file names to have the same amunt of digits and the files will be in order.
