Thanks Tom for that insight. I guess you could probably do away with the Red Rocket card. Red Rocket has become part of my workflow for the longest time. Especially when I have to do Online Color Grading using Da Vinci Resolve. I was probably thinking along that line.

A red rocket card on my macpro allows me full resolution and premium debayer quality of up to 2K files.

Steve, if you are really tight on the budget, I suggest you could take Tom’s route and just edit at 1/2 resolution, you might also try looking into Cineform.

Hi Steve,

it all boils down to your workflow. Are you transcoding to an intermediary codec for both offline and online like cineform or dnxHD? If this is the case then your machine would be able to handle it.

If not, and you would be primarily working with RAW r3d files, then a macpro or a high end windows desktop is a must – a red rocket is a requirement as well. RAID storage is need given the size of r3d files, and to fully take advantage of your workflow with Adobe CS5.5, an nvidia quadro card is also worth considering.

I have a 12 core macpro, with a red rocket and a quadro 4000. For RAID access storage – I am using Caldigit’s 8 terabyte HD Element drive.

Cineform is a proprietary codec, if you want to just view only the files then you need to go to their website, they have a free decoder to be able to playback the files.

However, if you want to transcode those files to another codec, you need to purchase a license for your computer/workstation to be able to use it. You can either transcode it to another container with a different compression or work with it natively.

Hi Michael,

first of all. You should already be monitoring your project LIVE via a 3D monitor – preferably the biggest one you can find or closest to the size you would be showing your final delivery – otherwise the parallax would be so out of place.

I suggest you look into AJA or BlackMagic Design cards that support stereoscopic output via dual stream SDI then get yourself a Polarized 3D monitor that way you are confident on the things you are working on.

Hi Ken,

I am not aware of this issue. Thanks for the info. I am primarily working on a macpro though utilizing cineform neo 3D as my codec in aquicktime container when working with STEREO Footages.

I have exported to QT inside AE CS5.5 on my macpro and have tested it without any problems whatsoever – even to my final output of h.264 compression side by side format for the various Polarized TVs.

perhaps more of a Windows Problem? Thanks again for the tip.

For a Cinema Projector – you would need to output it to a DCP (Digital Cinema Package) File, DVS Clipster allows this option – https://www.dvs.de/products/video-systems/clipster.html

For a polarized 3D TV, well as a final output – I’ve only tested 2 polarized TVs – the JVC 46 inches and the LG polarized TV. For both, as a final output, I usually export a side by side format via Final Cut Pro, using either Cineform Neo 3D or Dashwood 3D Plugins. (just google these products 🙂 )

Then, the Quicktime side by side Master File is then encoded to a high quality H.264 1080p codec then transferred to a media player – (in our case it’s an A.C. Ryan Model) then output via HDMI to the 3d TV.

the, that’s it. Just adjust the settings on the TV to read the incoming file as a side by side format.

You could try transferring all your media/RAW material files into an external RAID 0 drive, accessed via E-sata or USB 3 (If your laptop has these ports). That should give your editing experience a bit of a boost. If you don’t then your out of luck. If you are not short of time, you could also try a fresh reinstall of the system and the Adobe Suite.

I agree with Walter. I suggest you tackle the first 3 or four projects using only the tools inside AE and Premiere and see what you can come up with. I did a lot of church videos way back and one thing to spice up those coverage would be looping backgrounds.

You might consider particle illusion. (https://www.wondertouch.com/)

It saved me a lot of time back then when I was just starting. The monthly presets is something to look forward to.

Again, I suggest you evaluate your needs first for the first few projects then decide.

Good luck! 🙂

Go for dnxHD codec.

https://www.avid.com/US/industries/workflow/DNxHD-Codec

this is a free codec from AVID. Have the materials transcoded to that codec and have it installed in your system as well.

If the above is not an option, then for bandwidth considerations

the least would be AVCHD or h.264 for HD files.
