It is just a single clip (dnxHD185) so it should be fine.
I did test the same clip in adobe media encoder and that works perfect. It has always been some issues with the mpeg4 encoding in Squeeze so I guess this is just another of them. Thanks anyway, mixdown probably works fine. -
I have tried that too, but for some reason the video from Sorenson gives me some white blanking throughout the whole video. I guess its a codec thing, but everything is transcoded to dnx and exported same as source.
sorenson 7, mpeg 4

Hi Teo,
You mean for cinema delivery, but what about television / web?
What do you mean with the need of applying LUTs in two operations?
Shouldnt you just apply an (alexa) output lut on, lets say the second node, that gives you the opportunity to grade before and after the Lut? -
Hi David,
Its been some years since I worked on a symphony system myself but after what Ive been told. They have not updated their color grading tools in symphony in years. You can do some regular secondary adjustments and some basic balancing. The workflow is great, since its included in the software but the limitations in advanced techniques are many.
The reduction of the time limited campaign they are offering now are probably a sign that Avid will start developing some new tools for symphony. But as you know, it takes time with Avid. BMD will most likely improve their product in a rocket pace the next months and years, and my guess is that symphony always never really will be able to keep up.
For TV episode work I think this is a great solution because you basically need some balancing tools. No doubt it will be faster. But for commercials and good looking corporate films… Go for Resolve.

Ok thank!

Ok, so for performance and not improvement of quality.

BMD should not use all their valuable time improving XML and advanced support functions for FCP anymore in my opinion.
“Everyone” knows that they are about to die completely, (even though the lovers will not accept the way of thinking) and if BMD could focus completely on other editing solutions as Avid, the development will go much faster. Your clients? They will sooner or later need to put their money in other systems as well. -
Thanks for your inputs.
Why do you convert it to DPX? You dont improve quality if you convert it, do you? I thought the best way is to stay native as long as possible?I know it is crap, but we have actually made some TV-commercial shot on 5D lately that I think we made look good:

Ok, and the cineform LUT will work the same way on the DPX as the original file?
The reason why Im asking is if I can grade the original footage and then replace without experiencing any changes.Stig

Ok, thank you. The need of Cubux is the reason I want to ditch Mac Pro. Guess this means I will go for a PC.
