This sounds interesting but we don’t need the presentation to be available right away and we’d need to do this for all 4 simultaneous sessions! But I can see how using a switcher would work great. I was also wondering about using something like lumberjack. Some sits there with their iOS device and logs the timing. You then use the recorded talking head and slides with XML and it would spit out the video on FCPX timeline.
I looked at the Atmos blade and recording at ProRes LT can get 45gb per hour and with a 900gb Ssd that’s a lot of video, sure big size though. Of course the Atmos puts out HDMI and who knows what the projector will do. No idea what brand is used or specs right now.
In past conferences someone manually logged the slide transitions, pen and paper??? and some poor bugger had to edit the in post all 60 videos, no wonder they paid a ton of money in the past and it took months for the videos to trickle out.

60 times! No thanks. I need to have the live video feed from the laptop.

Sorry that should be request for proposal not a a AARP – goddamn Siri!

I was quoted $1500 for three days for a crew of 4 people for people. This is actually AARP if so I would just include it as a line item, sounds ridiculous who knows and folks who have insurance companies I can call contact details are welcome
Yes a regular client will alway penny a deposit first,
in this case they are talking about 60 days. Government contracts…! -
Yes, the hardware method would be ideal but not sure it’s in the budget 5 people to man then another 5 to shoot the video …. and the problem is the HUGE files – I need a very low bit rate 720p stream to be recorded for the slides, 422 10 bit is overkill and having SDI, more converters need ….. I can see this for a TED talk with a mega budget but not sure I can win this bid if I go this route.
I’ve been playing around with ScreenFlow and iShowU HD and the native quicktime x capture (obviously on a mac) with my wimpy HD4000 graphics card MacBook air 2102. Seem to work just fine as far as CPU usage even with magic moves on Keynote. Need to get a copy of PowerPoint and test.
Was thinking also perhaps someone VNCed into each laptop and just starts the process (sw screen capture) before each presentation – presentation has to do nothing then.

Not that this is directly related to your problem but I noticed when using a LUT in FCPx when the footage is paused vs when playing the footage has a greener cast to it. Probably some bug. Not sure why your issue does not effect the entire clip though.

Can anyone with one of these machine confirm that they actually work as well as an i7 with a large number of clips, 500 or so. I’ve yet to this question answered. How is the redraw and scrolling through the clips in the event library? My 256Mb AMD card in my mini seems to handle it Ok but would like a little more speed.

You are incorrect, a 1.1 machine can be upgraded with this – oemden.com/?page_id=585
Secondly I’m asking what the performance is like, not looking at spending more that $300 on the machine sans GPU so perhaps this is not as dumb as many of you suggest and sure I’ll take a $3k machine if you’re buying 🙂
I know this is old tech but just curious.

Might I add, second had GH2 – $400 plus some Micro four third adaptors to some older but very nice lens. Go here – https://www.keh.com – and look at their second hand lens selection.

For those of us who have never used Logic but dabbled a little in Sound Track Pro many moons ago, can someone comment if using it would benefit a video editor using FCPx?
I remember using Sound Track Pro and it seem a little easier to do stuff like normalize the sound etc but most of that can be done within FCPx now.
