Thanks John,
I’ll have to wait a bit as my DVCPRO50 VTR only has SDI out, The new decks have firewire, but uncompressed firewire is probably not on my particular wishlist. (unless there is an application I haven’t considered)
Cheers,

At the moment Pat, There is a simple command to breakout stereo-to-mono in the PPro preject window. This command creates a “new” video track and two mono tracks. These can be then be applied to the timeline and edited independently. You can group the three tracks to act as one and lock them to each other. You can razor the clip, but have to use ALT-left mouse click to select each track to do editing (if that makes sense). Other people use sub-mixes and sub sequences, but it overall it IS a P-in-the-A with the current version.

I believe they were demonstrating uncom firewire into Premiere at NAB.

The problem is Steve that if you create a new sequence (mono), when you import the new sequence back in to the original sequence, you only have one single mixed mono track. Even worse than the original problem. To get both of the mono tracks back in to the original sequence you have to create a Stereo sub-sequence, and the same problem exists. You can’t apply filters to left or right independently to the imported sub-sequence or adjust levels on either the left or right channel.

I beg to differ Mike. If you use the Decklink 8-bit or 10-bit project presets within PPro, rendering will not be 4:1:1. Rendering stays at 8-bit 4:2:2 in the current version of PPro and isn’t downsampled to 4:1:1 or 4:2:0 for PAL users.

Just one of those little gotchas in life. I usually only have mono field recordings so it’s not a huge issue (generally), but I can see how it can be for a lot of people.

Thnaks Steve, Tried the import sequence thing but it works out the same problem with applying filters and grouping. Guess the mouse finger will be getting some extra duties this week.

It’s 10-bit Uncompressed Sony YUV Codec.

I’ve been playing around with Vegas 6 and Decklink for the past hour or so, and it ain’t grabbing me. It has some very nice touchs. I like the massive amount of user configuration you can do, the FX animated picons, and other stuff, but the UI is weird, man. I haven’t seen anything like it anywhere.
There is sort of real time FX with Decklink, but it’s more preview quality. I don’t think you could print to tape without rendering. There are quite a few touchs that I would love Premiere to have, but there’s not enough pull for me to change trains.
