Thank you for all the input. I was wondering about excel as well. All good info, Michael. Thanks again.

Very interesting Michael. And very astute as well. I haven’t had a need to use it myself but I seem to recall that it worked off line as well – i.e. no deck control.

A friend of mine will be logging tv shows and movies that are ingested from tape into a server – frequently lo rez. She will be given DVD’s with burned in time code. Since these are tape based sources could she still work in MediaLog offline (no deck control) as long as her sources are named correctly? Is it possible for the clips in her offline bins to actually link somehow to online media?

Thanks again for your response.

Any DNx145 performance issues? Can it handle heavy effects laden timelines, etc.?

[Steve]

Hey Warren, is your 2.4 a duo or quad core? I have to upgrade my 2.0 duo as avids minimum spec is 2.33 duo. When I dug a little further, it said a 2.0 quad qualifies.

Im just try to figure out how much to shell out for a new MBP. Am I gonna regret NOT buying one of the new line coming out next week if I buy a newly discounted old line machine?

Again, whole purpose is editing streams of Avid DNx145…

[Steve]

Cool. Thanks again.

[Steve]

Thanks Shane. Very helpful. That said, do you have any experience with thunderbolt? Or with Avid Dnx145 on a laptop?

Also, when you say x number of streams, may I assume that this means without rendering? Or is the limitation regardless of render?

[Steve]

Thanks Shane. Huge help. In looking over sys req specs for MBP, initially it says minimum equals 2.33 ghz intel duo’s. Dig up the pdf it says you can go back as far as 2.0 ghz if their quad cores. Question is, what do you think I should be looking at for running streams of avid dnx 145 video in the timeline off tunderbolt drives? Quad cores?

[Steve]

Thanks Shane! Extremely helpful.

[Steve]

You are right! Worked great! Thank you both for your valueble input. Much appreciated.

Yes, I was wondering if it works as well. I applied the Invert plugin to Ch3 and 4 (Stereo m&E). It does not seems to cancel out the music on channels 1 and 2 (Stereo Full Mix)
