[Matt Bell] “I could use some instruction from you too then Shawn HAHA!! Yeah, the only reason I used that ISO setting was because it was preset in the camera and I had seen some images that looked good using it so I rolled the dice…and lost. I Guess it was the stock lens that was the variable that did it. I had not spent ANY time with the camera at that point so it was DEFINITELY USER ERROR!!!”
Totally understand, that’s one of the more challenging things about the AF100, it’s really flexible… but that means it’s really easy to make less than appealing images. I strongly recommend Barry Green’s Book and/or DVD. If you’ll be using the AF100 with any sort of frequency, these resources are invaluable. 🙂

“3200 ISO will be noisy on an AF100.”
Depends on how fast your lens is, and what your gamma/matrix settings are. The AF100 can produce very clean images at high iso settings. 🙂

Thanks Ernest and Angelo,
I just assumed (I know) Adobe’s support for Cinema DNG would be the same in PPro as it is in AE, Photoshop and Lightroom. Oh well, hopefully enough people will request this feature to make it a priority for Adobe.

[Dustin Parsons] “Maybe this is what you need? https://labs.adobe.com/downloads/cinemadng.html“
Thanks Dustin, this seems to be for CS 5.5. I’ll see if it also works for CS6.
“Adobe CinemaDNG Importer preview 4 (version 5.5) adds support to Adobe® Premiere® Pro CS5.5 for reading CinemaDNG video streams in the form of MXF files and DNG file sequences. Version 5.5 of the CinemaDNG Importer has shipped in Adobe After Effects® CS 5.5.”

[Herb Sevush] “None to shoot, but from what I’ve hear (i don’t do it myself) actually quite a lot to edit.”
I think the folks who shoot “The Deadliest Catch” and “Dirty Jobs” might disagree. 🙂

[Shane Ross] “You all need to listen to the THIS AMERICAN LIFE episode on PATENTS. When it comes to software patents…it’s a strange strange world.
Episode 441, When Patents Attack. Available on iTunes for free.”
Exactly what I was thinking. Thanks for calling out the number and name of the episode, Shane. It’s a very interesting piece.

This trailer is just fantastic. I’ll see the film based on the trailer and the cast alone. Thanks for sharing, Chris.

[Chris Harlan] “Dang. I missed it too. Could it be that the Mac guys are only sending out ballots to like, you know, other Mac guys?”
Maybe former and current Sound Forge users were purged from the voter rolls? 🙂

[Charlie Austin] “This: https://clipexporter.mindtransplant.com works really nicely.”
This doesn’t seem nearly as fast as Premiere Pro’s Dynamic Link to AE.
[Charlie Austin] “Yes, you need to go to 3rd parties to do some stuff in X (Xto7, 7toX, EDL-X, XtoPro, ClipExporter etc) But I’d honestly rather have Apple spend all their time on the actual editing software, and provide hooks and let others spend their time on the “niche” workflow stuff. I too need this “niche” stuff, but I don’t care if it it’s built in to the app, as long as it works easily, which in my experience all these apps do.”
I don’t have any objections to the way Apple chooses to provide functionality to FCPX users; third party, native support, either way works. My statement was in response to Jerry Hofmann’s acertion that FCPX is the “fastest NLE in the world”. I just don’t believe you can dismiss the impact of workflow or technical requirements so easily. Can you ingest, tag/log, edit and output projects in FCPX faster than any NLE? Maybe… doesn’t it depend on what else is involved in your workflow? Just asking.

[Jerry Hofmann] “Apple writes natively for only one OS, which we all agree is currently the better OS for all round computing.”
I wasn’t there when the vote was taken, so I’ll have to disagree here. All operating systems have their strengths and weaknesses, but for “all around computing”, my opinion is that Linux is probably the most flexible. That’s why it can run programs on everything from your cable set top box, to the New York Stock Exchange, to the Mars rover. No need for OS chauvinism, IMO. 🙂
