Anystream w/FCP

Anystream w/FCP

Does anyone have experience using Anystream Agility with FCP? I'm trying to use the Agility's VTR control to take control of a FCP sequence. Can't really find a setting in FCP like VTR Emulation in Avid (I can hear the groans!) At any rate, does this exist? Also, even with video and audio patched thru to the Agility workstation I can't see video or hear anything. No output, in other words, from my Kona3, though it does thru-put color bars when I'm not using FCP? Finally, this is not an urgent problem. We've been using drop-folders quite successfully for the past 3-months, but it would be a nice feather in my cap if I could get this to work.

Thanks

Not going to work. According to Anystream, the requirements are

System Configuration
Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1, Windows XP
Recommended:
Dual Intel® Pentium® III, Dual Intel® Pentium® III Xeon?,
Dual Intel® Pentium® 4, Dual Intel® Pentium® 4 Xeon?,
933 MHz or higher with 512 MB RAM
100 Mbps Ethernet or 1 Gbps Copper/Fiber interface
Disk drives capable of supporting 80 Mbps sustained write speed

So unless you can convince them to write a version for Mac, you're out of luck.

Compressor does do lots of what this seems to do, though.

Agreed, unfortunately, it does not do wmv and we are not inclined to invest in Flip4Mac or some other extra software. File transfer works just fine on our network between mac & anystream that's why I thought we should be able to take control of the FCP sequence. Thank you for the input.
