found the handy workflow mini manual – which explained a few things. though it says that I can “send to” any items i highlight in the sequence that doesnt seem to work as i get an operation not allowed message

according to the blackmagic disk speed test i am getting a read data rate of 168.9 mb/s and a write of 146.4 mb/s

in the 10 bit YUV 4:2:2 category for PAL I’m getting 160 mb/s read and 138 mb/s fir write

how does that sound to you guys?

yeah im a bit of a full rez junkie – with advances in computer speed etc it has become possible to work in online quality from the start for many projects now – was looking forward to saying goodbye to offline ugliness – but may not be quite there yet!

have you found uprezing with the FCP Media Manager stable? I know there have been issues with the MM with clips that have had speed changes etc… just wondered how the experience has been uprezing multiclips etc…

its all in the fine print!!! I will do the speed test on our raid to see what sustained rates we are getting – dissapointing that this feature is really only for DV work.

really???? i’m not in the edit suite at the moment but the throughput should be cranking – it’s a brand new raid. so how is it supposed to work with HD as in all the apple demo’s???

I have a nine camera live music gig to cut – the reason i upgraded was because i thought FCP 5 would be up to the job…seems not the case.

would it be worth offlining at dv rez for the multicam then recapture at full D1 rez after ive done the cuts?

i agree the 8 minutes of record time for the P2 cards is pretty useless and then gets really crazy when you have to pay $8000 per card…the harddrive option from firestore etc makes it alot more useful

it’s hard to find a good native 16:9 camera to replace the sony PD150/70 and PDX10. I like the fact that the HVX includes DVCPRO 50 a great 4:2:2 codec.

out of interest can the naked eye make out the difference between DVCPRO HD and 10 Bit SD?
