I like using audio dissolves that don’t turn up the audio by +3db (the audio dissolve that says +0db).
It is also important to place the dissolve at a good place in the song (at the end of a chorus instead of in the middle).

You’re definitely right about RED being the next hot thing. Now that things have progressed far enough with workflow, I’m finally going to start using it. It will be interesting to see how things go from here after the first couple of shoots.
I don’t think that Apple is overlooking Blu-Ray, but I think that they’re just trying to get their timing right. DVDSP has probably been ready for Blu-Ray support for quite sometime, but a major update to DVDSP needs to be packaged with FCS3 as I see it as a major selling point for people to upgrade. So until the other ProApps are ready with equally impressive features, I don’t think Apple’s going to let it out.
Blu-Ray authoring is something that would be really nice not because I’m going to deliver movies for mass duplication, but because there really needs to be a good way of playing back HD footage for presentations, special screenings, etc.

I just signed it and that makes 51 signatures. It almost seems like more people were looking for RED features to be added more than Blu-ray support.
I just want it all:)

[Mitch Ives] “How did Livetype being busted get past QA?”
My guess would be that no one ever checked LiveType. I’ve always wondered why LiveType is even around now that Motion is out. It’s like the program that will never see another update but since they have it, they might as well give it away for some people to play with.

I was walking around NAB this morning at it seemed more like a Wednesday at past NABs than a Monday. Fun, but not the big buzz and hype.
But then I discovered that RED is showing Color in there booth and they were grading R3D files natively! They were showing it as a “technology preview.” They also showed importing R3D files through Log and Transfer. They said it would be shipping later this year. (probably just in time for Christmas:)
This is really, really big news for many people.

I’ll be at the AJA booth in the afternoons. Apart from that, I’ll come try and track the rest of you down.

Sounds like fun, but I don’t know anything that does that.

I guess it is still possible, but I don’t think it’s likely that Apple provides any update to FCStudio. They’ve redesigned the FCStudio website to accommodate FCServer and I’m not one to believe that they would update it again in less than a week.
There go my hopes of cool new features and Blu-ray authoring in DVDSP for now. It’s anyone’s guess now when we’ll see another update. Dang, I hate that feeling.

[Shane Ross] “Not sure if the Intensity is compatible with COLOR? Is it? “
It does work with Color.

[joseph wilkins] “I also saw a Black Magic Intensity Pro Card for $349 on their website… would that work?”
It will give you HDMI out to a consumer display, but it won’t connect to your Apple display.
I think the MXO will give you better options down the road if you choose to upgrade your monitor in the future.
And I’d probably trust the newer Dell monitors with color accuracy than the Apple displays. Personally, I wouldn’t trust either, but if it’s all you can get, you do the best with that.
