If you can get the start column and then length column into Excel, you could pretty easily calculate the out.

The formula would be (start feet + length feet) + [integer quotient of {(start frames + length frames) / frames per foot}}

Then for the “+ frames”, use the remainder quotient of last calculation.

I’m not near a machine with excel, or I’d write out a quick template.

I don’t have any actual measurements, but when color chart is viewed on the same 30″ Apple monitor, the ProRes422 appears more saturated generally (which I realize is not really valid for much).

I’ll try to get some valid comparison via Matrox MXO w/ Apple 23″ display (which is the closest thing to accurate I have).

I do have some data on transcoding with compressor. On a Dual 3 Ghz with 8 GB ram, it takes approx. 3.31 times real time to transcode.

A 449 second (7 min, 29 secs) clip took 1486 seconds (24 min, 46 secs) to transcode.

Unknown so far.

This was my first test. It’s a telecine from super 35mm, and this clip had no color reference.

I’ll check carefully when I get something with a color chart.

Are you sure you have proper permission to edit in Bruce’s grazing area?

I have some uncompressed RGB 1080P footage, 23.98 fps, 1920 by 1080, 58 seconds is 10.88 GB.

I used compressor to convert it to ProRes422, 23.98 fps, 1920 by 1080 and the file size is 1.16 GB.

Walter, thanks for alerting us to Color info in another forum.

At the risk of sounding obsequious, this is a great help to those of us that don’t regularly check some forums. This also helps limit rumors, and helps me greatly with workflow planning for a new project I’m starting.

Your drive could fail at any time, and that’s about the same result as initialize.

Everyone needs a backup scheme, because it’s not a matter of IF a drive will fail, it’s a matter of when.

Well, Final Cut costs $1299, and the others are a free gift.

Unless you’re buying DVD Studio Pro, then that’s $1299, and the others are a free gift.

Etc.

Perhaps anamorphic is selected for your sequence (timeline).

Find the name of your timeline / sequence (upper left hand tab shape in timeline). Find this sequence in the browser window. Scroll across the information columns for this sequence in the browser, and see if anamorphic column has a check mark. Uncheck it.

Or from timeline press command zero to look at the sequence settings, and see if Anamorphic 16:9 is selected there. This is the same as sequence menu, then settings.
