Release notes say something about support for extended metadata in P2 cards. Wonder if they read Shane's rant in the Avid/adobe thread below.

i like the sound of better quality high-precision renders. (in FCP 6.05)

could you daring types let us know if 6.05 is backward compatible with 6.04.
i didn't see this in the release notes.


thanks,
nick

FCP6.0.5 project file

Here's a 6.0.5 project file Nick if you want to see if it will open in 6.0.4.

All the best,

Tom

Wow. Not since 6.0.2 to 6.0.3 has that happened. Right?

I thought that might happen as I didn't get the "do you want to update this file" warning when I opened the file in 6.0.5.

I'll make a new project in 6.0.5 and will post that as well to check that too.

Project file created in FCP6.0.5

Here's another that someone with 6.0.4 might want to test to see if it opens.

Seems weird to me that we have to do this and that Apple can't say in its release notes what the behavior is.

Well after initial excitement I'm not as happy with this release as I thought I would be.

Of course, bug fixes and general improvements are cool, but I thought there was going to be Native Panasonic P2 and AVCHD editing rather than simply better support for cameras whilst still transcoding to ProRes!

Come on Apple!

For crying out loud Adobe have it in Premiere Pro!!!

Nowhere in the release did it mention NATIVE support for anything. It mentions ADDED support for Metadata. Metadata in P2 is pretty major, and the main reason I suggest MXF4QT. If FCP now has metadata import functions, then that is huge

I suspect the MAJOR stuff wont happen until FCP 7 and Snow Leopard...

Why would you want to edit AVCHD natively? It's a GOP format, just like HDV, and like HDV the first thing we'll all hear after Apple adds native support for that codec is "Why does exporting take so long? Why does my footage degrade after I edit? Waaaaa!" And we'll all reply "Put on your big-boy pants and transcode to ProRes!"

The way I see it, Apple saved us a step.

The only new feature in Final Cut that I really want ? and I mean the only one ? is a real-time burn-in filter, like Media Composer's.

If we see that in Final Cut 7, I'll be over the moon.

Hope you enjoy the new RED support, especially in Color!

Just for us outdated mac users (Quad PPC)...that RED codec is Intel only.

Space... and time...

Using XDCAM (HD or EX) or HDV (spit) footage I often cut a rough with the native CODEC saving space then Media Manage Transcode the Master Sequence to ProRes or another CODEC for FX, Grade et al.

It saves time - perfect if you are working on site or on a quick turnaround.

We already have XDCAM, HDV, etc so why not?

Add to that native AVC Intra in both the 100 full-raster and 50Mbps versions... surely the Intel Macs are fast enough to decode AVC Intra on the fly?


Yes RED support is very cool!

P2 in both the DVCPRO HD and AVCIntra codecs are edited natively on an Avid...but that is because Avid captures its OWN footage as MXF...so the footage is already in the Avid's preferred format.

Thus another reason to like Avid...

...and Premiere Pro CS4 from what I am told. You can have Avid. The workflow just sux to high heaven for our short form stuff (3 minutes & under - grafix intensive) and they crash waaaaaay too much. As a matter of fact, in about 2 weeks, if you stand just outside the lobby of the EA Sports building in Orlando, Florida and look straight up, you just might see 4 - PC Avids fly off the roof down to your general vacinity. I suggested we make a keg party out of it.

There's some of my code in there for sure, but it's mostly Rob's and Craig's work. Team effort, shall we say?

I did this little movie with the new workflow native into FCP and then through Color:
