Yes their booth at NAB is tiny and I’m sure they’re realizing that they’ll have to get cheaper, just like everyone else. The demos I saw looked amazing and I think they have some of the most realistic lens flares and lightning bolts you can find anywhere.

All the online guys I know don’t like Avid FX at all, but I think for such a simple composite it should suit my needs.
I do notice a lot more of the editors requesting the Sapphire plug ins every year after NAB so people are starting to like having more capabilities in offline.

Can’t I use blend in Avid FX to composite?

I chose Avid for it’s data management so AMA is fine for me. I’ve almost never tried doing anything natively as I don’t see the point, but I didn’t know the C300 did that. What about the C100?

Shane,
Which formats can be edited natively? I’ve only dealt with mainly 5D/7D, Alexa and Red. Even the mxf from the Alexa is different because it’s a streaming format and needs a plug in. Thanks for the info, this is educational.

I also cannot export pro res, there is no option for it.

Terry, what did you do in Avid that looked better?

Wait, when he says he dragged it to the desktop, does that mean that he’s keeping his media files on the system drive?

This is strictly to digitize. Whatever we had in Digibeta or D2 or 1 Inch, we obviously have digitized it for archive.
This is for a national editorial company (spots and music videos) which at one time at 7 offices, so there’s a lot of material and the flashier, award winning stuff they want to keep for posterity. Unfortunately the only record in existence for a lot of this stuff is on 3/4. We’re talking in the 1000s of spots/music videos. I’m wondering if having this done by a third party might be a better, cheaper solution. Does our deck not have the TBC?
Sorry to lack this knowledge, I just have no tape experience. All I’ve ever done was find it, ship it to another facility, then overcut from the digital source.
