you’re serious?
i need an extra program to set playback frame rate of the clip??
this can’t be true, can’t be, can’t be……ITS SUCH A SIMPLE TASK!!
-
well,
independent of clip/compression….
mainly uncompressed 8bits, (not dv – if you mean clip detection at capturing)i have ready-made edits that i have to work over, speed them up etc.
so it would be nice to have it analyzed and edited,
and no, i don’t have a original EDL of the movie…i saw this detection on a DaVinci CC system – just thought
it can’t be too hard to achieve..thanx

thnax for the info,
but i tried all of your suggestions!
changing settings, copying etc,
everything useless..thanx

Hi,
i bought a 8core this summer….
well, out of th e box i was disappointed. Why? Because it looked the same as my od G5dual 1.8..
on the other hand i thought it’d be a MAJOR improvement over my old system an a MAJOR improvement over say the QUAD2.66Ghz.
Sure the 8core is fastest, but is it worth spending over 100Euros more than the 2.66Ghz?
Yes and no. In my case yes, because i have compressor rendering while working in Motion and FCP and i can work with no performance drawbacks…
No if you don’t have many apps running at CPU consuming tasks.
Even No if you edit in FCP and Export it via Compressor from there – FCP is “locked” while exporting…So: Leopard and hopefully a FCS2 Update will use all of the 8cores permanently..
Or: Apple is introducing the new machines where you can add up to 4 Graphic Cards and will try to do renderings via the GPU for Realtime Things and leave FCP Renders as is..To be honest, i told a friend not to buy the 8core because he hasn’t too many situations where he needs compressor, FCP and Motion or whatever running at the same time.
This 1000Euros+ isn’t worth spending on a computer – rather save for a decent camera..
And i told him to wait as long as he can, for the new macs will have new “internal” structure, maybe with a hd-dvd drive, maybe with multi-graphics support etc…Still if you can’t or don’t want to wait – get a quad 2.66Ghz and a new one in a year or two from now and you have a decent 2nd Machine for working…
just my thoughts
cheers

hi,
no that doesn’t solve the problem, i can see the fields, but i cant tell whether there’s
a field mush or not….problem arises when you convert a say a BMD-PAL File (SD-Upper) and convert it with
compressor to dv (PAL-lower) the QT thinks it’s lower field now, but in fact it’s
a DV-PAL with upper field first..(which doesn’t exist in real life…)just wanted to know if one acn step through the single fields in FCP to check the field order
of the file..thanx

Hi,
well the reason was: GLOW
i applied the effect to a video layer that scaled from full screen to smaller and back…result was: corrupted frames in the video while scaling, and the crash..
GLOW removed, everythings fine….hmmm

Hi,
mine is the second station – files from digibeta
are being captured at the first station…i’d go for a bigger card, but as my budget is
limited i have to start with the intensity pro…but i can capture from digi and beta, but
only analog and without TC and Machine control,
right?? Even HD??if so, that’s pretty amazing for this amount of money…
thanx

Hi all,
for anyone interested in benchmarks of the cs3 beta
running on quad- or 8-core version of the macpro
should take a look at:they posted nightflight test results running the 8core cs3, 4core cs3,
and 4core AE7….be amazed!!!!!

hi,
BTW, all the programs going towards GPU-power…
i wonder what the 8-core REALLY is going to speed up….i wanted to order the 8 core tomorrow, but am not too sure any more…
what do you think????
regards
stefan
