[David Roth Weiss] “There’s no intermediate rendering, no baking of effects or speed changes, and no loss of timecode linking to original media at any stage. Furthermore, the layers remain intact throughout and can be modified at any time in any or all applications, and elements such as text and/or vector-based objects are preserved as vectors that can be scaled infinitely without any loss of quality.”
I couldn’t find the words. Thankfully you found them for me :).

[walter biscardi] “What does that mean? Color does not touch the original media.”
It’s still a destructive workflow because you have no option but to render out new QT media. You can’t simply send the metadata back to FCP and relink it (like you can with Motion, Soundtrack and LiveType). The relationship to the original media (and thus the source tapes) is gone.

11) ProRes 4:4:4
12) Automatic pulldown removal/cadence detection when placing pulldown footage in a 23.98/24 sequence.
13) Add 3:2 pulldown when placing 23.98 clips in a 29.97 sequence
14) Capture Now should feature stop & abort.
15) Log and Capture should also feature stop & abort so you can stop it early without losing what you already grabbed.
16) Timecode display during capture and ETT
17) Non-destructive grading via Color.

Just read the help document, it’s pretty easy to learn. So students are shooting on RED now? That’s pretty amazing.

JES Deinterlace is excellent:

Good price for students. It’s free.
You still need to know how to use it. What frame rate is the RED footage?

I have a Kona 3. I don’t have 1080p30 setups.
You can change the field dominance to none in both the sequence settings and the clip properties. As long as it was shot at 30p, this method will do the trick.

[Paul Escandon] “It’s about as low level of a legal infraction that there is in my opinion – on par with a parking ticket or J-walking in my opinion”
If we’re talking about a college kid who downloads songs he can’t afford anyways, then I agree with you. But if we’re talking about a 50 person company in China that runs hundreds of copies of pirated software they use to make money with, then I think it’s just as bad as stealing a car. It all depends on the severity. In this guy’s case, wanting to use Compressor on one un-manned machine while editing on another, I don’t think that’s exactly the worst thing in the world. But his initial post was just plain tactless and dumb IMO. He might as well have started a topic asking what people’s favorite weed is to smoke while editing.

My understanding is that Encore in CS4 works right.

Yeah, it was a stupid thing to ask on this board and what he’s doing is totally against the law. But you guys are freaking out and treating him like he’s burning copies and selling them on Canal St. Yes it’s illegal, but I don’t consider what he’s doing to be particularly immoral so long as he’s the only user and he’s only using one copy at a time. I’m not excusing it, but sometimes there is such thing as nuance when it comes to moral issues of right and wrong. I’m simply saying that while it may still be wrong, it’s not worthy of the brutal outrage you guys are giving him.
One thing I want to add. I don’t like this “violating the license agreement” outrage. You should be mad because it’s illegal, not because it violates an agreement. Here in California, Sacramento decides what is legal, not Cupertino. Forgive my paranoia, but I don’t like to see our culture susceptible to becoming a fascist corporatocracy.

Look closer at the options.
