I guess I wasn’t clear… when we shoot in the studio we have an assistant log the clips as we shoot.
We hook a firewire cable from the camera to an iMac with FCP on it. the assistant names and logs the in point and the out point on the fly as we shoot. by the end of the shoot we have an FCP log and project that we can batch dig from with names already made and ins and outs already made for rough clips.
we are currently shootin DVCam on the Sony DSR – 570 cameras. We shoot roughly 8 tapes. 4 per Camera.
Sometimes 64 min sometimes 94 min tapes. -
Thanks Jeremy! I guess the immediately accessible files was the part I was missing.
I wasn’t trying to be argumentative, but just trying to understand where the time savings were.You mentioned earlier that there are certain times that you can’t use the Ki Pro. What are the scenarios that are not practical to use KiPro ?

“Not a gig a minute of footage, but rather a gig a minute of file size. 100 Gigs of footage, =100 minutes transfer time.”
Isn’t that the same thing in AVC Intra 100? 1 minute equals 1 Gig of file size?
Please explain to me how 2 minutes transfer time per minute of footage is faster than real time?Am I missing something? Did I misunderstand something? Sorry if I did… I just want to understand.

so if HD is roughly 1 gig per minute and it takes 2 minutes per gig.. we are looking at 2 x longer than real time…. I was hoping it would be much faster than that. That is why I was considering the KiPro to start with.
I really have to look at work flow speed advantages. If it isn’t faster than digitizing tape then… I can’t sell the advantages to management. I am trying to justify the change by saying that the digitizing process is consuming a huge amount of our time that we could be editing if we went to a tapeless format. At those transfer speeds, P2 doesn’t seem to really give me that argument. -
Jeremy, which software do you use and what are the transfer times for a 32GB Card? 64GB?
Do the E series cards make any difference in transfer times? -
This is great…
I am looking to FINALLY make the transition to some sort of tapeless format.
I looked long and hard at P2 I love the AVC Intra 100 but the transfer and conversion times were 1.5 realtime or more. I need to be faster than realtime to justify moving from tape.
I know I don’t HAVE TO transfer and can edit directly from the media module drives but We often shoot 6 to 8 hours of footage in a day over a period of 4 or 5 days. So I would need to transfer the media to an external hard drive to reuse the media modules during the shoot. These rates seem much faster than P2 or SxS media and are recorded in an immediately editable Pro Res format. I am will probably be docking this with a Sony EX3 or the Panasonic HPX-300. I know this forum is for KiPro but any recommendations or preferences between those 2 cameras? Would either one have an advantage over the other in regards to picture quality when working with KiPro? -
I would probably be using an MBP laptop with an eSATA drive. or FW 800 minimum.

I believe 5 was a full version… would I have to actually reinstall 5 before I upgrade to 6?
I tried the 4.5 HD number as well…. that didn’t work either… I have the original 3.0 number that was on the G4… but surely I wouldn’t have to go back that far…. -
I did the OPTION + COMMAND + SHIFT on launch and that did the trick.
Which apparently does the same thing as deleting that folder.
Thanks so much for responding! -
Wow…
I didn’t think about this, but I bet our Graphics department can print these up easy. We have a huge banner size sign printer. and another printer that could take a 2ft x 100ft roll of acetate.I could make tons of these easy!
Now I just need to see how much a roll of acetate and if this is cost effective, if I only need a dozen or so.
