    if you make your text crawl, and then precompose it, Then you would just need to make both layers 3d and rotate one layer 90 degrees and then mask off the edges that were closest to the camera.

    I totally missed that you weren’t talking about the RTX100, I’m very sorry. The Axio looks excellent! I wasn’t trying to mislead anyone about the axio, it looks awesome. I wish I could get one.

    Don’t buy anything until after NAB, if you do, you might be sorry.

    I actually just sold my RTX100 and upgraded to a dual core system with a faster GPU and I’m not regretting it at all. If you do a lot of slow-mo and color correction the RTX100 is great, but it really starts to choke when you have higher resolution jpgs on the timeline. It was nice for a wysiwyg preview, but now I just use a second video card for a preview (which also lets you have 3 displays and a tv). I wouldn’t buy anything until after NAB, there will be a lot of great stuff coming out as usual. I’m not under any nda’s and I don’t have any “inside” knowledge, but if you look at Matrox’s line, it is pretty obvious that a replacement for the RTX100 should be at NAB. There is a huge gap in their 1k range right now. The matrox is near 3 1/2 years old. Hopefully the new HD card will do what the RTX100 did for DV editing 3 years ago (I could do stuff then with a single core no ht 2.4 ghz, that it takes a pretty decent dual core system to do now.)

    Is there a way for those of us not lucky enough to be in SoCal to be able to see a podcast of the meeting?

    you can also push Shift + J or L if you want a slightly faster or slower moving CTI.

    Can you not import it? Maybe it is because I have Quicktime Pro installed, but I’m not having a problem with it. I would think that as long as you have quicktime 7 installed that you should be fine.

    or you can just highlight the clip in the project window and select “interpret Footage” and then tell it that you are using a different aspect ratio

    What platform are you working on? Did you import the mxf files straight into AE7? If so how? What codecs have to be installed for it to work?

    anandtech.com or tomshardware.com along with a bunch of other sites on the net. At intel’s developer forum, they let a bunch of different companies run tests to show that the new intel chips are super fast. As of right now the code name for the new desktop chip is “conroe” if you google that you should find plenty of websites that will show the performance. The 40% faster claim was made by intel themselves even though in some cases it is much more than 40%.
