As I’ve thought all along, seems a waste of time to buy or do anything until actual product is released – I prefer to continue to make money using tools that work and are available – once Resolve on mac has been out for a few months I’ll review all the postings and articles based on real world use and then consider purchasing based on configurations that other people have already beta tested.

I am under no illusions that the mere existence of a new tool that does more or less the same things as tools I already have will catapult my business to new levels – but it might bring me in the odd extra job here or there.

Yeah….I’m going to wait a few months after release date – let some other fools beta test it, work out any wrinkles in “official” hardware support vs what really works best in the real world etc….

Do not use Color unless you have a compatible video I/O device and broadcast monitor.

Oh well…if you want a stable system can’t go past a moviola I guess….

Then there is the rarely-seen-in-practice mirage of 64-bit processing — which “Snow Leopard” is supposed to bring into common usage. Frankly, for me, Snow Leopard has been (by far) my biggest Apple mistake (of many).

So Jpo…..why didn’t you just use your cloned backup drive of your previous OS and revert to Leopard? Was there something in Snow Leopard you absolutely had to have?

According to posts in this thread on the Apple Color forum
( https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/223/16493 ) , Grant Petty of Blackmagic says that XML support will be coming soon after initial release. Of course we won’t know how well the FCP round trip works until we actually see it, but all the statements so far seem positive…..

Thanks JC….

Seems like it is a format mainly used by audio only devices rather than in video production…..

I think I’ll buy the cheaper box….

Yes JP….I really wish that Color would base the clip names on the original clip name….maybe just add G1 as a suffix…..would really help media management issues for complex longform projects.

Well this is a facility with 35 edit stations and tons of freelance editors coming and going…..I think they want to make sure freelancers don’t come in and install a bunch of different stuff on different machines, perform random updates etc…..

Maybe there are other ways to deal with this, but as far as I know that’s why they generally do not have the machines running on admin accounts…..

Hi Bob,

You were correct! Logged in as admin account and the setting stuck……

AJA should put something in their control panel that will tell you that the changes won’t stick unless you sign in with an account with admin privileges (when you try to make changes on a non-admin account)….

Thanks again….

Check is in the mail!

Thanks Bob….

That probably explains it……yes at big company on shared SAN network etc….I will try changing it on admin account, then hope it holds when I return to my usual user account.
