hey walter

well spotted!! are there still linear edit suites around today 😉 get so used to the digital world it’s amazing what leaves your conciousness about the ‘good old days’

this is from the manufacuturer

“However, please note that the remote control accuracy and tape transport response has not been designed for use within linear editing systems, or for “on-air” use. ”

what is meant by the term “remote control accuracy”. if that means its a bit sluggish or whatever then that’s fine – if it’s talking about something much deeper ie non accurate RS422 control etc then that could be an issue.

I’m happy to hear of your good experience with the deck walter but am slightly troubled as to what is being alluded too in the above quote.

hey walter,

thanks for that, I’ve been warned off the J30 by some people as saying it’s not up to the job for NLE use, issues with timecode accuracy etc… have you had any timecode drift issues on ingest?

i just need to hire one to suck in 70 odd hours of digibeta – it just made more sense cost-wise for a longer term hire than a fully fledged studio model, which i wont need until the end of the job for the final masters.

also it will be a job for multicam so i’m thinking having accurate timecode is going to be vital for syncing up all the cameras.

thanks for your thoughts

Thanks Jerry,

It was a clean install from the ground up….how much actual RAM can version 5 access currently – I know the G5 has room for 8 GB but what can the final cut suite acutally use?

Thanks Todd,

that would effect the quality of your final render especially in 10 bit – i always forget which is better RGB or YUV?

tracked down the problem to a third party filter i was using to desaturate the image. any idea why this filter would have this kind of effect? is there some fxscript reason that some plugins conflict and other dont etc…?

i’m curious

thanks Jerry,

found it….i guess it’s not the quantum leap i had been hoping for…looks like it’s still out to third party apps for movement etc…
