Re: Agree or Disagree: Cutting w/ Media Composer will provide more jobs and higher pay? - 11 years ago
Hi Strypes, joeboo, Jude, The main problem for us is that it is a rental. We don't update all of our machines every year or even every version. If we "purchase" it, we own it (or at least a perpetual license, that is). This may be hard to believe but we don't have an operating budget that we can rely on and have to go begging to an administrator, who has other chickens to feed, eby RJ - Café LA
Re: Agree or Disagree: Cutting w/ Media Composer will provide more jobs and higher pay? - 11 years ago
I'm a FCP7, PP6, MC6 user, but also an educator and this thread is great for me to read. Thanks to all. In the last 5 years, we had moved from Avid primarily to FCP6, then FCP7 and would offer MC (and tutorial based training) on a couple of machines for students' advanced thesis projects, if they so wished. PP6 is offered on one machine and we like it. At this point we need to move on and I bby RJ - Café LA
Re: FCPX capabilities - 11 years ago
Guys, thanks for taking the time. I'll probably download the trial and muck about with it, so I appreciate the primer. -Russby RJ - Café LA - X
FCPX capabilities - 11 years ago
I haven't looked at FCPX since its release and I'm wondering about 2 things in its current incarnation: - Does it allow multiple sequences per project (w/o some work around)? - Is the media management/project structure still the same as the first version? That is: structured as events and dates like iMovie & iPhoto style? Thanks for any info.by RJ - Café LA - X

Maya animation frame output format? - 12 years ago
Hi folks, I haven't worked with animation for 6 or 7 years, but presently working with a Maya artist. She is outputting frames in PNG format that I then compile into a ProRes mov. with QT Player before import into FCP7. My question: Is PNG a good format for her to render out in? Never used it before and results look good, but I have always used PSD in the past. Thanks for your advice.by RJ - Café LA
Re: General Error -- making life miserable. Time urgent! - 12 years ago
Divide the sequence into sections and try exporting. That way you can find exactly what media file is bad. Also, have you deleted all render files and rendered the sequence again? Could be a bad render file. Good luck.by RJ - Café LA
Re: Avid MC 5.5 questions ? - 13 years ago
A great tip. Saving the intermediary step of having to export from the Sony Browser is a real plus. Thanks once again.by RJ - Avid Media Composer
Re: Flash media off-loading software? - 13 years ago
Craig, Thanks a lot for info about ClipBrowser. I use it for converting media, but didn't realize it could make a simple backup and verify. Duh. I did a search and ran into this Café LA thread: about some software by Andreas Kiel called "copyClip." I downloaded and tried. It is simple and seems to work, although I want to test more.by RJ - Café LA
Flash media off-loading software? - 13 years ago
I'm doing tapeless acquisition on a new project and I want to use software that will verify the data as I off-load/copy the camera files from SxS cards to a Raid 1. What software are people using? I read ShotPut Pro is good, but was wondering if I can use Carbon Copy Cloner to do this since I already own it?by RJ - Café LA
Re: Avid MC 5.5 questions ? - 13 years ago
Thank you strypes. Seems like a good feature request, no? That is: make a project frame rate independent.by RJ - Avid Media Composer
Avid MC 5.5 questions ? - 13 years ago
I downloaded and installed the trial of MC 5.5 on a separate boot drive in my MacPro. I haven't used Avid in many years and I've got a few of questions. (Probably many more to come). I'm trying to import 1080 30p (29.97) and 720 60p (59.94) XDCAM EX material shot on a Sony EX1. The project was created as a 1080 30p project and I prepped the EX1 footage exporting to "MXF for NLEs..."by RJ - Avid Media Composer

Re: The cost of plug-ins - 13 years ago
Bill, Thanks for the reply. I have AE, but I'm switching to Avid for my editing platform and the round trip is more of a pain than with FCP, as I'm sure you know. Maybe I'll down load the PP trial and give it a spin, but it doesn't sound great in terms of media management.by RJ - Adobe Premiere Pro CC

Re: Have you used either of these RAID 5 enclosures? - 13 years ago
I talked to an OWC salesperson and he confirmed with one of their "development guys" that the CalDigit raid card will work with their "mini-SAS Rack Pro" enclosure. They still say Raid 5 isn't great for a "sustained data rate with video due to parity checking," but that it should work much better than on their esata enclosures. This info is strictly their word sincby RJ - Café LA

It isn't on the OWC recommended cards list for the drive enclosure though. I'll call them, most likely Monday and post answer. Probably a proprietary card as VPiccin says.by RJ - Café LA
Re: Have you used either of these RAID 5 enclosures? - 13 years ago
I hadn't considered SAS, but that's a surprisingly low price for an SAS enclosure and the performance potential is impressive. I've heard enough discontent with Highpoint's cards that I'll probably steer clear of that. Atto cards are out of my budget for this project, but I might spring for the CalDigit. Thanks for the suggestion.by RJ - Café LA

Thank you, guys. Derek, I had a feeling about that lock when I saw the picture of it and you just confirmed that. Seems like a good unit otherwise.by RJ - Café LA
The cost of plug-ins - 13 years ago
One of the things most anyone changing from FCP to Avid or Adobe has to face is the cost of plug-ins. From owning an Avid years ago, the price for your average plug-in was steep. Don't know if this is still the case. Something I'll miss with the FCP community is plug-in developers for the program - used Joe's Filters for years and Nattress' filters were great and an incredible bargain. I seeby RJ - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Re: Adobe Encore - 13 years ago
I'm tending toward Avid at this point, but the Adobe package is compelling due to everything that comes with the suite. Of course, I'll have to buy a $700 Nvidia graphics card. I dunno.by RJ - Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Have you used either of these RAID 5 enclosures? - 13 years ago
I'm starting a graphics intensive project and I need a low-cost RAID 5 enclosure. If you've had experience with either of these please give me a thumbs up or down. These are the two I'm considering: OWC Mercury Elite Pro Qx2 Stardom SOHO RAID I'm tending toward the OWC since I'll be able to call them for tech support if need be. Also, anyone know if Avid's drive filtering will accby RJ - Café LA
Adobe Encore - 13 years ago
I owned an Avid in the late 90s and I'm getting close to making the switch from FCP back to Avid, but I need a DVD/Blu ray solution and suddenly realized that I can't find Adobe Encore for sale as a standalone product - does it only come as a part of the Premiere or Adobe Production Premium packages?by RJ - Adobe Premiere Pro CC

Re: Avid goes 64 bits - 13 years ago
Well that post was really helpful. Thanks. Can you say how After Effects handles DNxHD and if it plays back nicely in the Mercury playback engine?by RJ - Avid Media Composer
Recommendation: Kevin P. McAuliffe's Cow tutorials - 13 years ago
Hi folks, Just a recommendation on those interested in trying FCP X. Watch Kevin P. McAuliffe's "FCPX - Kicking the Tires - Lesson 1" tutorial on Creative Cow. It goes into detail on how important understanding and setting the preferences are before using the program, especially for an experienced editor. I think a lot of gnashing of teeth (mine included) would lessen (but not erby RJ - Café LA - X

Thanks for the Google admonition. I had done a search, perused some forums, but out of desperation I was hoping for a recommendation for an especially good one, you know, like Café LA. I'll try some posts gauge the results.by RJ - Café LA
