Re: FCP 6 and Mavericks - 11 years ago
Logic is pretty good it would be the only DAW i would use other than protools. I think you should use the DAW or NLE you can use best. It takes 6months - 2years self training to get into a new DAW and feel proficient enough to do whats needed.by J.Corbett - Café LA
Re: Creative Cloud Open Letter - 11 years ago
Perpetual Payment Stypes. So i am sitting down on vacation and suddenly i get the notion to work on my old project. Then its time to pay 74.99 if i do not have a subscription. 74.99 for a wild hair is a bit much. That's 7 lapdances or a new pair of shoes. lol They have upp'ed the price since hello. I could easily see a price hike coming and you can not disagree unless you wanted to quit usingby J.Corbett - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: External Monitor Nec PA24 vs Nec PA27 / RGB Coverage vs Real-Estate - 11 years ago
Thanks. I think i am clear now. I am going to get the NEC PA27. It will look nicer with the other 2 - 27" monitors. Output will come from my BM Intensity(soon to be upgraded) and i will use the i1 to calibrate it to BT709 as commercials are my bread and butter. Thanks that was a mini-class on color. I was looking up a lot of what you were saying. Thanks Again.by J.Corbett - Café LA
Re: Creative Cloud Open Letter - 11 years ago
I have masters suite CS5 and CS6. I love the Production Suite that Adobe makes. However i am not for the CC. Here are my reasons: 1. You must be connected to the internet to use it. 2. Once you have decided to say retire. You will CONTINUOUSLY have to pay Adobe to revisit your projects. Pay til you die. 3. CS5 is still heavily used by editors and image designers as they have become extrby J.Corbett - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: External Monitor Nec PA24 vs Nec PA27 / RGB Coverage vs Real-Estate - 11 years ago
Man, Thank you for that chart. That really enlightens me. Lets see if i got this mildly correct. I am also 1. so i could live with the out an external if i were using the nec as my main screen. T/F 2. going out of my video card instead of the graphics card (card that cam with tower) is not necessarily better. 3. I should not calibrate the monitor for BT709 and just simply calibrate forby J.Corbett - Café LA
Re: Is it possible to gang multiple finder windows together? - 11 years ago
QuoteJoe Riggs Ultimately it would be to sync and compare drives. I just like the finder window interface. If you like the finder window there are 3 apps that come to mind for paired windows. Pathfinder - $40USD which is a stand alone replacement for finder but give much more info on a file. (dont think the search is as user friendly as finder) TotalFinder - $20USD which works withinby J.Corbett - Café LA
Re: External Monitor Nec PA24 vs Nec PA27 / RGB Coverage vs Real-Estate - 11 years ago
Quotedcouzin To do this it must "know" what the monitor's native primaries are. You might be able to let the NEC's hardware do the emulation, if the MXO isn't too smarty-pants. Well, I don't know. so it cant be calibrated. I had a editor friend tell me to hold the MXO and deal with my BM Intensity until i knew more about calibration. BM Intensity does output 10bit but no internal LUTby J.Corbett - Café LA
Re: External Monitor Nec PA24 vs Nec PA27 / RGB Coverage vs Real-Estate - 11 years ago
Ok. That help me a lot. I have always thought that the main monitor coming from my ATI was unable to be calibrated to BT.709 via DVI. This is why i purchased the mxo2 and the BM Intensity. I use 2 monitors mainly because i like to edit in dual screen mode. The NEC would be a 3rd monitor as the u2410 is now. I have a decent lg 28inch via dvi and a 27inch samsung via display port converted toby J.Corbett - Café LA
Re: External Monitor Nec PA24 vs Nec PA27 / RGB Coverage vs Real-Estate - 11 years ago
Oh one more thing. FCP treats its output differently than Premier. True/False It seems like someone over at the Premier forum had posted something like that.by J.Corbett - Café LA
Re: External Monitor Nec PA24 vs Nec PA27 / RGB Coverage vs Real-Estate - 11 years ago
I may not be able to be as technical as you in my post because i just started understanding color at a technical level. So i am new but a little bit knowledgeable. From what i have read the lg panel on the 30inch is not in the 24 inch. as the size of the panel goes up the coverage seems to lessen. Not sure if this is true as it is only forum reading i have done. From the previous post i aby J.Corbett - Café LA

External Monitor Nec PA24 vs Nec PA27 / RGB Coverage vs Real-Estate - 11 years ago
So i am moving from an 8bit external monitor to a 10bit external. I have narrowed it down to the NEC PS line of monitors. I will not be getting the bundle as i plan on buying an xrite i1Display separately. What i do not get is the different between these to which boils down to Brightness and AdobeRGB coverage. Their response times are only a point in difference. I am really torn between tby J.Corbett - Café LA
Current Stars of Raid Drives - 4-8 bay - 11 years ago
So i am 'old schooling it' with my pair of s2v's (caldigit) one TB on each. With 2 jbods inside my tower with a redundant pair to fill the bays up. I also have a FW800 1tb gtech and a FW400 1tb mercury w/ (hitachi inside). I was wondering what people are using these days in a freelance 2 editor set up.

Re: What encoding software are folks using for broadcast delivery? - 11 years ago
Shane, Which version of episode are you using and did you get any of the extra options like x264 or the pro audio? I also wonder does it play well with smoke, fcp or premier. like exporting via episode?by J.Corbett - Café LA

Re: Multiple frame rates 23.976, 29.97 and 25 - 11 years ago
The pal stuff you have will have a slight difference but it will mostly come from the frame rate and will not be all that noticeable. As a general loose rule, when you have mixed frame rates you should tally up the frame rates to see which fps has the greatest number of clips or hours and then convert every thing else to that codec or frame rate.by J.Corbett - Café LA
Re: GRAPHICS CARD UPGRADE FOR MACPRO 2008 - 11 years ago
ATI 6870 (90% sure) ATI 5870 ATI 5770 The Nvidia's mostly need a hack to work on OSX. The evga versions of nvidia cards do work on macs but there are no choices for new construction. The GTX285s out there are ALL USED & REFURBISHED. Plus in my experience ATI is better for a wider variety of mac based software. Nvidia really only comes into play with Adobe and maybe Divinci.

Re: FREELANCING & BIDDING ON WORK @ $20??! - 11 years ago
Wanted Man, This a bucket of crap with most of these online post. The budgets they have are completely unrealistic. I tried getting jobs from online for about a year and out of say 100 bids i got 2 jobs. A logo for 40. and a info-video for 600. BTW the info video was 1st posted with a 250. budget at first.

Re: Excessive Changes. How would you charge? - 11 years ago
I ended up charging an additional 600. for the changes, which stopped them from asking for more. They also took delivery once they knew i was adding to their balance. I have always had a flat rate on commercials that come out to about 75. per hour on post and 40. per hour on filming. It was the way i got into the market as most other production houses charge hourly. It made it easier for busiby J.Corbett - Café LA
Excessive Changes. How would you charge? - 11 years ago
I have a client who i did a commercial for about 6weeks ago. Meaning the draft was completed then. I al ways expect there is going to be changes and over 250-ish paid projects not once was there ever more than 6-7 tweaks. My contracts are written based on a reasonable estimate of hours worked on other projects. This gives me the ability to in most cases give a solid flat rate for services.by J.Corbett - Café LA
Re: the New Mac Pro...Whatda think - 11 years ago
Wow. Thunderbolt is nice. Daisy chained screens and still recognized as 2 separate units. Pricey with only one choice of high end screens. strypes: They have not released yet so maybe CUDA might make it in. It would seem like a needed feature for a machine of this ilk. I wont mind the missing PCI as long as theres a nice expansion module that can help with legacy devices and give the PCI.by J.Corbett - Café LA
Re: the New Mac Pro...Whatda think - 11 years ago
I love it. I just about have tape and Elmer's glue holding my 2007 machine together waiting on this. I do wonder about the PCI slots as i have had a GTX570 in the box for a year now waiting for the newest machine. I how that the PCI / sata / fw800 module is not the same price as the tower... correction can. The mxo boxes should be fine with this unit but i wonder how the vcard crowd will fare.by J.Corbett - Café LA
Re: Final Cut Pro X Review for booklet research Pros and Cons on the software - 11 years ago
I posted that PremierPro could be the FCP killer about 1year before FCPX was released. Most people here hurled me for it. When i saw the layout the 1st thing i thought was where is the viewer, and why not the entire suite (FCPX Studio). Then it sold for like 299. which was a warning in itself to me. Not releasing the entire suite told me that they were not serious about the pro community.by J.Corbett - Café LA
sRGB or D1? Which is correct for scopes. - 11 years ago
I have been using BCC for CC in premier pro and FCP. The BCC videoscope is quite handy but I have always wondered why D1 showed more trace than sRGB. Most of the footage i use is from HMC150 and the GH3. I believe the HMC is 4:2:0 and the GH3 might be 4:2:2. I normally grade CC in srgb but when i shift to D1 often my vectorscope pops illegal. I have not been rejected yet but ...... Whicby J.Corbett - Café LA
Re: great slo mo - 11 years ago
Yes. The Ae version is better because Ae deals with the frames more intuitively. FCP version is ok but not as good as premier version. And premier version is Not as good as AE. Ae is just better built for effects as a whole.by J.Corbett - Café LA
Re: great slo mo - 11 years ago
My son has the GoPro Black and it has pretty good image quality. It fisheyes everything but for action/sports shots i kinda like that. There is some plugins that will fix the fish eye and if you have AE you can reverse a sphere effect to get rid of most of it. However, you may have to increase the size of the frame to get rid of some edges if you reverse the sphere effect.by J.Corbett - Café LA
Re: iPad 3 for Color? Really? - 11 years ago
I just tries using a MXO2 mini and through an older BM intensity. Honestly, Its not horrible and much better than the average led backlit. Its like a step down from the nec 10 bit i normally use.
