I briefly read the announcement myself, but I can’t remember off the top of my head — what’s the minimum requirement for graphics cards?

An update:
The “error” didn’t show up in the log even after logging was turned on, so I have no idea what’s up with that. However, even though it wouldn’t render a HD Quicktime, it does appear to be able to render a HD Targa sequence.

It was one I’d never seen before. It’d be nice to get a definitive answer, as the alternative means going in and trying to do the same thing on a DS Nitris.

The difference is that MC will connect to Avid Interplay and XPro will not. I think this is why Avid’s now releasing Mojo SDI without fears of cutting into Media Composer sales with respect to large broadcast facilities.

BCC 3 does have simulate pulldown within Deinterlace but I’m not that impressesd with the default setting. Applying it to a clip with a jib move makes it look too “jittery” as if I’d just used an Avid strobe effect.
Usually to “richen up” video I use a Red plugin with Gaussian Blur set to 1 or 2 with a Soft Light apply mode knocked down to about 40%. It’s still looks “smooth” like video but is a little richer looking than un-corrected stuff right out of the camera.
If anyone has some good BCC 3 user settings for this filter I’d be curious to get them and see what’s what.

Has the deinterlace filter changed significantly from BCC 3 which I already have?

I don’t think you can apply Light Zoom in that fashion — notice when you have it applied to one object and then switch the container to 2D how it works.

Yes, my 980 is set both to DualView and Single Display Mode for multi-display hardware acceleration and no I don’t have problems with lens flare.

I’m running MCA 2.1.1, nvidia 980 and Continuum v3 without problems. I’d suspect that going forward these cards will be on the low end for acceptable performance.

Mark,
Not quite. The “front” of the effect is a single shot (it’s a freeze of 9 tracks from the Avid timeline) of 9 pictures already shrunk down to form a 3×3 grid. The “back” is a single full screen picture. What I need to see is *each* picture on the front rotate 180 degrees on the y-axis and have staggered start times. Not the entire screen turning, but each picture as if the center point of rotation were at the center of *each* picture in the grid. As they disappear at the 90 degree point, what comes around is the back picture, but not shrunk down — each piece of the 3×3 grid would turn to reveal the picture as a full scren image, not 9 shrunken versions of the same thing.
Think of those stadium cards that people flip to form gigantic images — I think there was a Kodak Superbowl ad from a few years ago that did this using something like After Effects. I was hoping there was an easy way to achieve it.
I’m fiddling around with the cube technique now and I’m not getting quite what I want. The front and back faces of the cube are far apart (because it’s a cube) but I think I can adjust the Scale Z to get it to work better. I’ve also had to had a mask on both the front and back faces of the cube to get things to line up properly. I think I’ll now be able to get something closer, but I didn’t figure the setup would be so involved.
Thanks for the kind words. I wish I had more time to mess around with Red, but time and budgets always seem to be conspiring against me these days.
