Hi Guys,
I just installed Studio2 & have been running Color for hours non-stop with no issues. I am running a Kona2 card on a Dual 2.5 PPC / ATI Radeon 9600 XT video card with 128 MB VRAM. The Kona allows me to see my NTSC output - which is great.
Some initial observations are that it feels super-clunky & not user-friendly at all. The interface is gonna scare people away from using it for sure. The Color FX are node-based which most people are not familiar with (don't be scared - you'll love it later). It looks like there are a lot of cool things that can be done in here but the controls are antiquated & not user-friendly at all. If not for anything else, the interface NEEDS a MAJOR facelift - add sliders & eyedroppers all over the place. DEFINITELY a v1.0-looking app (looks like it was designed for OS 7.5.3.)
IMHO, this program should be incorporated into FCP in a plug-in environment rather than a "Send To" / separate program environment.
More later...
Joey
