That means go to a dub house that has one, not buy one ;0)

Yep, I agree with Mike. Procoder is pretty good for this sort of thing, but if you want Rolls Royce, go Snell & Wilcox Alchemist.

There are memory-hogging issues with using PSD images in the timeline. Make sure you are using another format like hi-res JPEG, TIFF or Targa.

Speaking of Twixtor, does anyone else find it’s stability a bit flaky with Premiere? I’ve had to switch to Boris Continuum (Optical Flkow filter for slo-mo) because of the constant crashing with Twixtor 4.5.

Looking at the specs on the Panasonic VTR’s, it would appear that only DVCPRO and DV ar supported via firewire.

I used to be real keen on editing in Pro50 (mainly because of disk space considerations, but I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s better to work in SDI. There was a thread on the FCP forum where an A/B test was done and and this was shown to be the case, but it’s horses for courses I suppose.Peter Corbett

No, it’s nothing to do with Pro50 codecs once it hits the PC. It is trancoded into the Blackmagic 10-bit or 8-bit uncompressed codec. Once it leaves the Pro50 VTR via SDI, it ain’t Pro50 anymore, it’s an uncompressed video stream.

At the moment Julie, with Premiere Pro and Decklink, you are best to capture from a standard SDI-equipped DVCPRO50 VTR. The pictures look fantastic and will endure image manipulation, rendering and colour correction very nicely. If you have your heart set on firewire, FCP would be a better solution now. (did I really say that?)

>>>>Are you using the Main Concept DV50 codec plug-in or a codec included with the Decklink software?
No. Only uncompressed via SDI.
>>>>>>>Is it possible to capture DV50 over firewire in PPRO?
Yes, with the latest VTR’s.

I capture via the SDI output of the D960 VTR with 10-bit or 8-bit uncompressed into Decklink Premiere. I haven’t got firewire out of the Pro50 so I can’t use the DVCPRO50 codec. I’ve read that you get better results if you start with uncompressed then native codecs once you start rendering and compositing. Quality is great and you don’t need to render BM files to play them.
