As Rohit said, did you install the drivers?

So what the hell, you either buy an infiniband system or you only use sequences?!?! That seems completely ridiculous. I’m not saying you are wrong, just seems stupid of Black Magic seeing as they plan to release the lite version soon which is basically made for the MacPro.

Ah, well that answers that.
Thanks!

Well I guess I can’t complain about a program that used to cost 6 figures, which is now basically free.

This is probably the wrong forum to post this in FYI. This is the DaVinci forum, DaVinci is color grading software.
Just a TIP 😉

Genius! Now I just need Sapphire… My day will come…

Yup – that’s pretty much exactly what I am talking about. Thanks for spotting it! Now I just need that in AE…
Here is what I think you were originally talking about: https://grail.cs.washington.edu/projects/digital-matting/image-matting/
Very cool stuff, but not what I was thinking of (though that too would be quite amazing in AE)
It is quite a shame that After Effects gets left behind in these “higher end” fields. There are quite a few effects that people don’t bother to port over to AE, but if they did I’m sure they’d make some $$. Then again if Adobe got really serious and put this sort of thing (along with some 3D tools) into AE then they could gain back a large portion of the Nuke and Smoke guys that they have lost.

Hey Conrad,
Yeah she was definitely coming from a Nuke background and had this in it. From what I can tell the technique you explain could work for some things – but I am looking for more detail in the edges. By blurring it all of my colors will fuzz out (though the matte will stay intact).
I guess what I am looking for is a vector blur that blurs the edges straight out – as opposed to all directions (like gaussian blur).

Hey Walter, I know what you are talking about. That is a matting technique that uses Bayesian filtering to generate the matte (at least that’s what I understood from the article that I read). I would also love to see this in AE – but I bet it is pretty difficult to get working on video.
Do you know what the name of that Autodesk node is? That is exactly what I am looking for.

I know basically nothing about a PS3, but I believe that you can upload music and video to the hard drive just like to an ipod or other media device. I would encode the render to .mov with .h264 as the codec – most things should be able to interpret this. Then you upload the video just like anything else on the PS3 (not totally sure how to do this, but I’m sure it is simple).
Hope that was what you were asking.
