Well thanks sharing all your experiences. What I need is a system to captures and works in the best possible quality HD material, color correct it and share material with some worksations (like shake or Smoke HD from Discreet for complex compositions) and then reassemble for mastering. The final output will printed to Film. So I am making ONLINE, the off line sometimes comes from another FCP or from another AVID, they will give an edl and i will capture from VTR. I have heard and read that FCP has problems with the quality of renders, that every render changes the video to 8 bits, and also that there is a different gamma translation between FCP and Shake. By the other side AVID adrenaline is known as very stable, robust but has compression (DNx) so it is not the best image capture you can get in the market, it is supposed to be loss less compression and i have seen it and the image is ok.
