In AE, make sure that you are exporting out as PRORESS 4444. Also select RGB + ALPHA. This is the important part: Make sure you choose STRAIGHT not PRE-MULTIPLIED.
This should take care of your problem. Don’t worry about the little popup that comes up and says Bit Depth exceeded.
Hope this helps.

I hope this links helps. Panansonic is to release an USB P2 Card reader. 300 bucks. Available in April. I’m sure online resellers will have it for less.

The LEOPARD discs that came with an older MBP may not work because of the Hardware, but if you can get a hold of a generic Leopard disc, that may work. Another possibility is to get a Leopard disc from someone who has the same model MBP as you. After you get a disc you can create 2 partitions on the drive and have both OS’s running. Make the Leopard Partition smaller since you only want it to load your old drivers. I have the MBP just prior to SL, so I bought the upgrade disc, but I do have both operating systems working on my MBP. I just hold ALT/OPTION during boot up and pick which OS I want. The cool thing is that my P2 footage saved on my Leopard partition is viewable from SL. Just make sure you named the drives accordingly. ie SL HD and L HD. On the same drive I also have WindowsXP as a partition for bootcamp. SL can read NTFS so i can read my 3dsmax renders. Pretty crazy, but works. Just make sure to do this all at once since creating partitions can screw u up if you already have data. Make sure you have a big hard drive too. I have the 500GB 7200 for my MBP. I partitioned it 250 SL/ 75 L/ 75 Windows. You never get the full 500. Hope this helps.

Sorry buddy. I was looking at https://www.sonnettech.com/product/qio.html like you were. This looks like a great product too! eSata will give us faster transfer rates! Sorry for the confusion!

That is awesome, but for me PCD20= $999, DuelAdapter =$60.
Any place that has it cheaper?
-
Just wanted to let you guys know that I did not have to load the drivers to access the files from the camera via firewire in SL. I just needed the drivers to try to make it work on the DuelAdapter. But having an external FW800 with Leopard fixes that problem. Thanks for the tip!!!!

I installed it and am trying to use it with the DuelAdapter, not working. Anyone else have luck?

I just got an email from the Panasonic that the new drivers are up. I tried it and it does not seem to be working yet. I may have to go back to leopard. Don’t know if it’s SL and the Card or just the driver.

I am a newbie to the video world, but I am a pro in the photo world. Let me first start by saying that:
1. The lines are blurring between the 2 camps.
2. Nothing will replace the person behind the lens.
3. Content will always beat out slick output.That being said, I decided to go with the Panasonic HPX170 and the Letus Elite. Granted it may cost more, but I am able to use all my old SLR lenses. I agree with Dave about all the features that video camera has, and after doing my first live gig, it makes a difference. For Indie films you have more forgiveness in the setting, but live, documentary or run and gun shooting, the 7D’s operative capabilities are a real handicap.
Granted being a Nikon guy had a small effect, but I can use the Letus with any camera I buy and using other lenses is just a matter of buying an adapter. So if I want to use Canon Lenses I can.
My last comment is there are 2 things that will never change. The human eye and the glass of the lens. If you keep that in mind, then technology is a tool and you will always find the best answer for the situation.
If you are personally NOT shooting yourself, TRUST YOUR DP!!! He may not like your equipment. Jimi Hendrix if alive today could even make a $20 guitar from Wal-Mart sound good!
Thank you.
