Digibeta is actually a little over 2:1 compression. So you won’t be losing anything.

Are you asking Bob about the cheaper Sony, or are you asking about the higher end Sony?

Yes, Sony still doesn’t have it. And their expensive LCD monitor still doesn’t do black. 35K, washed out black. What a scam.

You can render out to the same codec, but I don’t believe FCP does 10 bit renders. Also, it won’t be in Log space. AJA is not the one to answer this question as it’s FCP that is doing the render.
I wouldn’t be too hopeful of FCP being able to handle this level of work for a long time, if ever. That is why I mentioned Scratch. Probably the cheapest way to get the quality you want.
Now if you are happy in a linear space, with 8 bit rendering, knock yourself out. Otherwise just treat FCP as the offline tool.

It was good to finally meet you to Gary. 🙂
[Russell Lasson] “I appreciate people’s interest in the Red workflow, but my real question isn’t about Red. It’s about the AJA 10-bit LOG RGB codec and how it differs from DPX and the AJA 10-bit RGB codec. Does anyone have any information about this? I’ve emailed AJA support and haven’t heard back yet.
“Your question is confusing. Do you mean how does DPX differ from AJA? The way it’s written above I’m not following.
My understanding of AJAs handling of DPX is that it doesn’t really change anything. It wraps them into a reference QT movie, but it hasn’t altered them. If you are expecting to work and render in FCP in 10 bit RGB LOG you are out of luck unless you know some trick I don’t.

The bulk of Avid effects affect everything from the top down. There are a few exceptions where keying is involved like titles and mattes. For the basic title push on and off, don’t use the push effect, just move the titles within the title effect.
Go into effects mode, select the title, add a keframe where you want the push to start, go to the end keyframe and move the title off screen. Now when you play it, it will push off.
If you want another title to push it off, add it to a track above and cut it in starting at the first keyframe of the move on the lower title. Add a second keyframe to this title at the end of the lower titles shot. Go back to the first keyframe and move the title off the opposite side of the screen. You are done.
You can use numbers in the horizontal position slider to get an exact matching move.
Think of it as using the “motion” tab in FCP to move your title around.
BTW: In the lower right hand corner of your title in effect mode, there is a box labelled 3-D. Click that and your title effect promotes to 3-D and gives you a ton more options. You may lose RT performance this way so only use it if you need it.

[Russell Lasson] “By the way, having played with a REDONE and the footage coming off of it, I can tell you now, the future has arrived. NOW WE JUST NEED A WAY TO EDIT IT!!!!!!!!!
“Here’s what you want to do. Offline in FCP, finish in Scratch. You can do this by:
Using Redcine, make 2K DPX sequences from your Red footage. Use the AJA DPX to QT translator. Cut your movie. When you are done, take the EDL and the 2K sequences to Scratch. You could actually even use the 4K originals in Scratch, though I haven’t seen this work yet.
FCP and Scratch are THE ONLY supported workflows for Red at this point. This means they can natively support the RED codec. Unfortunately, that version of FCP isn’t out yet.
