Re: Powerfull Workflow with FCPX and Netstor Storage possible - 10 years ago
I'm looking to put Minis into our workflow here as well. Currently still running three Mac Pros, one Dell Workstations and two iMacs. All is connected to our 100TB Small Tree SAN. We convert 10gig ethernet to Thunderbolt for the iMacs and it works fine, can push up to 550MB/s to those machines so it would be the same to the Mini. Have already tested 4k multicam with Premiere Pro using thiby walterbiscardi - Café LA - X

Re: Creative Cloud Open Letter - 11 years ago
Unless the iPhones / iPads continue their slide and fall completely off the sales charts, FCP X doesn't have to earn anything. When you look at their sales compared to everything else on a pie chart, I was told the ProApps sales were literally a line. Too small to even be a very very small piece of pie, literally a line on the chart. In other words, Apple doesn't even need the ProApps periby walterbiscardi - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: Need new monitor - 11 years ago
For color grading, forget computer monitors and you'll have to spend a bit more than $1000. You want a Flanders Scientific. Those are accurate for color grading. The cheaper BMD monitor is not color accurate, it's good for reference to see what you're shooting. flandersscientific.com We have six of these in our shop because they're accurate and the customer service is some of the best inby walterbiscardi - Café LA
Re: First casualty of CC = Adobe Encore is dead (EOL)... - 11 years ago
It's not "dead" Adobe said as much at NAB this past April. Basically it's gone as far as it needs to go, according to Adobe, so no more updates moving forward. That's what they said this past April. Encore continues to live as CS6 and is still easily available via Creative Cloud.by walterbiscardi - Adobe Premiere Pro CC

Re: 4K TV's, but few 4K Cameras?? - 11 years ago
There are quite a few 4k cameras out there as we all witnessed at NAB this past April. Canon, RED, Blackmagic and I believe Sony also had one. Blackmagic has the most affordable at $3999 US. (4k for $4k was their mantra) ARRI was the notable exception. There is a 4k consumer television for under $2000 US already.

Re: Reactions to Apple's new MacPro announcement. - 11 years ago
BMD already working on OpenGL support for the new MacPro. Good news for all of us so we don't HAVE to have nVidias to run Resolve.by walterbiscardi - Café LA - X
Re: Reactions to Apple's new MacPro announcement. - 11 years ago
How much do we really need the Rocket any longer with the strong power of the nVidia cards? Via thunderbolt adapter with this machine or via a PC tower or via their new VCA? I was under the impression these cards have almost caught up to the speed of the Rocket especially with two or more GPUs in the machine.by walterbiscardi - Café LA - X
Re: Reactions to Apple's new MacPro announcement. - 11 years ago
Adobe doesn't need to do anything quite honestly. They already support the ATI cards very nicely with CC so they're good to go. BMD is the lone man out with the nVidia only support needed for Resolve. Knowing them they will have an answer before the Fall. I think the strongest use of these new machines will be for remote situations. Compact power to take into the field vs. a laptop or lby walterbiscardi - Café LA - X

Re: Adobe on the FCPX attack says Ben Balser - 11 years ago
Depends on if they are collaborating with others outside their companies. completely independent, one / two man shops that never go outside probably won't. I'm trying to figure out how I can make this work to utilize folks I've always wanted to work with such as Shane Ross. This might finally allow us to work together in a very easy workflow.by walterbiscardi - Café LA - X

Re: Real world Thunderbolt Raid experience? - 11 years ago
Thunderbolt is definitely faster than FW800. Small Tree Communications was showing a system at NAB running dual Thunderbolt into a laptop running at 1.2GB/s. Yep, 1200MB/s. The speed of your system depend on whom you get.by walterbiscardi - Café LA

Just to chime in, Oliver and I have been communicating off forum and quite honestly, having a good laugh about all the commotion. We both agree the industry should return to CMX with GVG 300 and Abekas A53D as a standard for all editing moving forward.by walterbiscardi - Café LA - X

Re: Thunderbolt RAID suggestions, please - 11 years ago
G-RAID has gotten better since their second generation mess and LaCie is good or bad depending on who you talk to. Many people hate them, but we've never really had an issue with them. Now one thing about any RAID, you really want about double the storage space of what you actually need. As the drives fill up, they slow down, they get more flaky, etc..... Also, you have to take into accouby walterbiscardi - Café LA
Re: How to create master for theatres - 11 years ago
Master for the Theater is usually a Digital Cinema File or a 16 / 35mm print. If you're showing it at select theaters, you'll need to contact the theaters to find out what they accept and the specs for each. For broadcast and theater screenings ALWAYS use Title Safe. For the web, yes there is extra space, but we never make a special version just for the internet. What goes online is the sby walterbiscardi - Café LA
Re: Editing sizzle reel with various formats and aspet ratios as source material. What is the best format to use in FCP7? What are the best compressor settings? How do I handle the work flow? - 12 years ago
We edit with H264 codecs all the time now that we switched to Premiere Pro. It edits quite well actually. FCP 7 certainly doesn't like that codec, but Premiere Pro is just fine with it.by walterbiscardi - Café LA
Re: Anatomy of an iMac Suite - 12 years ago
For this particular project it started out around 27 hours of material and it's up to around 45 hours now. Most of our documentaries average 125 - 300 hours of material so this one is pretty small by our standards. The SAN itself is 48TB that the iMac is connected to.by walterbiscardi - Café LA
