Hi Aanarav,

Thanks for the information. I downloaded the update. Do you know if there is anything like this for After Effects? I ask because I’ve received the same types of errors when using After Effects 6.5 and Magic Bullet 1.5.

Hi Aanarav,

I noticed that this is not an Adobe website. What will the logical result be of this update to the Premier Pro Media Encoder?

Hi Aanarav

I can transcode when the media was captured as BlackMagic Design 10-bit and 8-bit uncompressed (QuickTime) the transcoding works very well. But as soon as I use any other file format (inside the QuickTime file wrapper), the transcoding fails.

Could you tell me where I can download the encoder

Hi Paul,

Your best option depends on how you intend to post produce your content. If you have a real powerful post production system, us the Canon product. On the other hand if you have a not to cool system, cropping the 16:9 image to 2.35:1 aspect ratio will probably be the easiest way to work.

The product name for the Canon product is the ACV-235 Anamorphic Converter, has a list price of $29,500 dollars and there is no evidence that its use degrades the image optically in any way. This item is for 2/3 image size format 16:9 HD lenses and cameras and squeezes a 2.35:1 aspect ratio image into a 16:9 aspect ratio image. Similar to the Angenieux converter “CLA 35 HD”, it causes the resulting image to be upside down. A powerful postproduction system will be able to unsqueeze the image back to 2.35:1 and turn the image right side up without a problem.

Please be advised that real cinematographic anamorphic images are 2.40:1 aspect ratio (when shot using Panavision Anamorphic lenses.)

Hi Scott,

Here are some questions for Sony:

1. When will an HDCAM SR camcorder show up?

2. Is it possible to have the HDCAM SR & HDCAM product development executives / scientist from Japan to actively join our website?

3. Some of our web readers would like to be included in HD camcorder user feedback and user consultancy. Can a bridge or communications dialog be set up between Sony Japan and our website so this can happen?

Thanks for the report Uwe,

I’m wondering:

1) If you send from your Digital Betacam machine, audio and video as separate into the SDconnect.
2) If then you have the SDconnect embed the audio into the SDI signal.
3) And then, when you capture media through your Decklink Pro card using this signal, does Decklink Pro disembed this audio correctly?

Hi Uwe,

Does the embedded audio, coming out of the SDconnect, work well with your DeckLink card?

I purchased a DeckLink Pro and a Miranda AMX172-P110 SDI AES/EBU Audio Embedder/Multiplexer and it did not work. The Miranda outputs an embedded signal that the Decklink Pro software cannot decipher correctly (causing the captured audio to sound full of digital audio artifacts and high pitched noise).

I used this setting with a PC computer and Premier Pro 1.5. It was an awful experience, and an expensive mistake.
