I've only got three more weeks of playoffs (our last event is The TOUR Championship.) I'm not sure if I'm glad or sad? I won't have so much work but the pressure is what gets me learning, taking shortcuts, pushing myself to get better. We will be refining this show, doing more run throughs, maybe get some cool new graphics,by adelena - Café LA Re: EVS and FCP anyone? - 16 years agoHowever, H.264 is not an editing codec. It's a delivery codec designed to make files very small and still look good. Wow, exactly the answer I was looking for. How rare is that, and on the first try? After I posted today I used Compressor to re-compress (not sure if that's the right word, maybe transcode would be more appropriate here?) the files to uncompressed 10bit. I imported them inby adelena - Café LA Re: EVS and FCP anyone? - 16 years agoupdate - FCP and EVS are working great. We have the file transfer bumpin' (as the kids say these days.) We're using an old G4 tower as our landing pad and a GigE switch. File transfers are respectably fast. I've been using a program that came with our Mac called "Automator" to do the mundane fetching of files tasks. Then I import into FCP, rename, revert the file names and edby adelena - Café LA Re: EVS and FCP anyone? - 16 years agoWe looked at a product called B4M (Broadcast for Media) as well. I think the software is called FORK? It will let you clip and edit from a live video stream without halting your digitize. There is a 20sec latency though (not a big deal really.) It works with XSan and XServer. It all came down to the fact that we have the EVS, IPDir and XFile in house already. We decided that was the systemby adelena - Café LA Re: EVS and FCP anyone? - 16 years agoI cut with an AvidXpress this week controlling the XT2 with Avid's BVW75 protocol. With "Fast Cue" off it cues instantly. I brought everything in baseband and it worked out really well. It's been crazy at work. I'm cutting on Avid for the next little while and then migrating the entire project to FCP. We're still fine tuning our workflow. I haven't had time to try changing the XT'by adelena - Café LA Re: EVS and FCP anyone? - 16 years agoWould changing the port settings on the EVS make any difference? I'm not at an XT right now but I've used the BVW9100 and the XT control settings. Are there others that might "play well" with FCP? This as opposed to changing the device control in FCP. I guess it's a "try it and see" type of thing.by adelena - Café LA Re: EVS and FCP anyone? - 16 years agoV- Nah, that doesn't work. The "Use Deck Search Mechanism" is checked by default on my box. I tried turning it off but it still rewinds. Aby adelena - Café LA Re: EVS and FCP anyone? - 16 years agoSo, I have access to both sides of our house (SD & HD) and things are running well. Was playing around with control of our XT2. Is there a device control profile that will allow instant access to timecode (as opposed to slowly rewinding like a tape machine?) I've tried the Kona Sony VTRA, B and IMX profiles but they all act the same.by adelena - Café LA Re: EVS and FCP anyone? - 16 years agoV - Things here are peachy. We're troubleshooting today. We have SD and HD footage in the box right now. We've got SD device control and now we're working on HD. I guess we do have the server. We aren't using it because our avids work in omf HD not imx SD. So we'll probably set up a "landing pad" as you call it and see if we can get it to work. As I said, we're planning toby adelena - Café LA Re: multiple editor profiles - 16 years agoA new account for everyone who logs onto the computer correct? You reboot every time a new editor comes in? I think we can live with it the way it is. Thanks, this is all really exciting for me.by adelena - Café LA Re: multiple editor profiles - 16 years agoThanks, I'm not so "worried" about it. I'm the only FCP box in house right now and no one's going to be using it...usually anyway. My boss however is very worried. Not sure why really? Maybe because he's been using Avid for the last 10 years?by adelena - Café LA multiple editor profiles - 16 years agoCan you set multiple editor profiles on the same FCP box? I'm coming from an Avid world where I have my own logon that loads my look, settings, defaults, etc...Does this exist in FCP?by adelena - Café LA EVS and FCP anyone? - 16 years agoWe will be integrating one FCP station (the only one actually, the rest of the house is Avid w/Unity) at my work with an XT2 and IPDirector in about 5 weeks. Interested in hearing from folks who have experience with this.by adelena - Café LA |
