	Re: If I thought the switch was inevitable... by Oliver Peters on Feb 27, 2012 at 3:29:35 pm in the Apple FCPX or Not: The Debate Forum It's too early to tell as to whether you NEED to switch. The CS package is always a good toolkit to have, regardless. CS5.5 is powerful, so there's no reason not to buy it on discount and then pay the upgrade from CS5.5 to CS6 whenever it becomes ava


	Re: Major Gamma / Luma Shift Resolve -> Avid DNxHD MXF Media -> Avid by Bill Ravens on Feb 27, 2012 at 2:56:22 pm in the DaVinci Forum I found one thing I have been doing wrongly in Resolve. Despite the settings in the configuration page which select full range data, I still need to deselect "Auto" and select "full range" for each and every clip in the media pool. I was assuming tha

In our case we had an external OLED-monitor with two inputs connected to two different machines. One mac with Avid and one mac with Resolve. The differen

	Re: DVD picture looks stretched by Ricky Barrow on Feb 27, 2012 at 1:46:33 pm in the AVID Forum I guess it depends on your DVD App. We edit 720p 60fps a lot, I simply send a QT ref., native dimensions to Adobe Encore for DVD (SD) and have never had quality or aspect ratio trouble. I can't speak to any other DVD app - DVD by Sonic for Avid never

	Re: Oscar irony by Miłosz Koziol on Feb 27, 2012 at 11:34:44 am in the Apple FCPX or Not: The Debate Forum Well - I`m all for simplicity and ease of usage - I find none of that in FCPX (I`m toying wiht trial 10.3. right now). Final Cut pro is fading away from professional film studios, at least in my country.Personally, I`m so glad that I made a switch t


	Re: Why does my ProRes footage look jagged in Premiere Pro but fine when exported as ProRes by Tapio Haaja on Feb 27, 2012 at 8:38:25 am in the Adobe Premiere Pro Forum Actually one of my biggest hope for Premiere CS6 is that Adobe implements full ProRes support natively like Avid did with MC6. That way Premiere wouldn't need Quicktime for decoding and propably we wouldn't have these strange problems.


	XDCAM transfer and FCPX - no CODEC by Miłosz Koziol on Feb 27, 2012 at 8:33:58 am in the Apple FCPX Techniques Forum This is strange. Im working both on Avid and FCPX (trial). I mostly shoot on EX1 and varoius DSLR. I cant get xdcam transfer to work (even though it used to work flawlessly with FCP 7 (wich was sold for reasonable price after crossgrade)). XDCAM Tran

Please let us know around what record timecode this issue happens. Thanks, Rohit Blackmagic Design


	Re: AVID AAF to Resolve, dissolve issue by Steve MacMillan on Feb 27, 2012 at 7:11:44 am in the DaVinci Forum Thanks, I will run a test with an EDL, and the direct import of media thru the AAF. It is important that I preserve the resizes and reframing going into Resolve that was a big part of the offline. I'm thinking I lose that with the EDL, not to


	Re: RED5 plugin - hang by Jeppe Svendsen on Feb 27, 2012 at 6:57:25 am in the Boris FX Forum I had just the same experience with Media Composer and Avid FX (aka Boris Red) yesterday. I opened my preferences dialog and reset all settings to factory settings. Problem solved. Maybe it will help you? Jeppe


	Re: Major Gamma / Luma Shift Resolve -> Avid DNxHD MXF Media -> Avid by Peter Chamberlain on Feb 27, 2012 at 5:24:08 am in the DaVinci Forum Hi, looks like two or three different threads getting confused here. If we stick with the issue pointed out by Paul in the first post, an image rendered to DNxHD looks different on the Avid UI monitor compared to, some other monitor or application di


	Re: Major Gamma / Luma Shift Resolve -> Avid DNxHD MXF Media -> Avid by John Chadwick on Feb 26, 2012 at 10:42:04 pm in the DaVinci Forum Hi Michael Jordan sent me over from DaVinci forum where I had posted the same problem with FCPX. http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/277/14774#14789 So it's pointing to an issue with Resolve.


	Re: Is native prores stable enough to edit feature film? Or should we go dnxhd? by John Pale on Feb 26, 2012 at 9:01:44 pm in the AVID Forum As native MXF Avid media, Pro Res seems to work fine, however I am not editing a huge project with it. No difference is noticeable. This is not like AMA.


	Re: Major Gamma / Luma Shift Resolve -> Avid DNxHD MXF Media -> Avid by Paul Korver on Feb 26, 2012 at 8:51:20 pm in the DaVinci Forum Hi Joe, I believe you. If you still remember the workflow care to share online or off? Paul


	Re: Correction!! Fast Import works by Michael Phillips on Feb 26, 2012 at 8:33:29 pm in the AVID Forum Thanks John - that was my understanding for Mac; Fast import is the way to get rewrapped ProRes from QT to MXF. AMA is for instant access and editing, but not as a means to rewrap via a consolidate to MXF to be "Managed Avid Media". Maybe AMA/con


	Re: Is native prores stable enough to edit feature film? Or should we go dnxhd? by John Pale on Feb 26, 2012 at 8:23:03 pm in the AVID Forum Toke, I think you are better off working with DNX HD, if possible. You really don't get any real benefit working Pro Res, just more hassles. Avid and DNX are pretty bulletproof. Maybe down the line, Pro Res support might be improved, but with FC


	Re: Is native prores stable enough to edit feature film? Or should we go dnxhd? by Toke Trangbæk on Feb 26, 2012 at 8:20:39 pm in the AVID Forum What i see as the important question now is: how is to edit the prores wrapped as mxf? Is it just as fast as native dnxhd? Is it stable? We have tried editing prores in ama mode in Avid 5.5 - that was not very positive!! Did not work! So hope this


	Re: Is native prores stable enough to edit feature film? Or should we go dnxhd? by John Pale on Feb 26, 2012 at 8:05:10 pm in the AVID Forum Just tested on a Mac. Here's how it works. Pro Res media linked as AMA does not Consolidate...you get an error message telling you that you need to transcode. It will not re-wrap as MXF. ProRes media imported into Avid as Pro Res MXF will Con


	Re: XML Round trip in Resolve by Michael Jordan on Feb 26, 2012 at 7:34:30 pm in the DaVinci Forum People see the same thing in Avid. In fact, there's an active discussion about it right now: http://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/277/14750


	Re: So long, and thanks for all the fish by Michael Sanders on Feb 26, 2012 at 7:25:42 pm in the Apple FCPX or Not: The Debate Forum David, I know its all been said before - I've said it here and other places over and over again. So in that we are in agreement. As for your comments on editing, cutting etc. Perhaps I'm being a bit unfair to myself as to be honest I've cut


	Re: AVID AAF to Resolve, dissolve issue by Michael Phillips on Feb 26, 2012 at 7:09:56 pm in the DaVinci Forum Does an EDL behave the same way? Michael


	Re: Is native prores stable enough to edit feature film? Or should we go dnxhd? by Michael Phillips on Feb 26, 2012 at 7:08:10 pm in the AVID Forum Logically a "consolidate" is only a copy/rewrap to Avid managed media, but does not work that way on Windows for whatever reason since technically, it is still only doing playback. I need to get on a Mac version to see what's it's doing, but the


	Re: AVID AAF to Resolve, dissolve issue by Joseph Owens on Feb 26, 2012 at 7:02:22 pm in the DaVinci Forum Hard to say. Sounds like a kind of handle confusion.

	Re: Major Gamma / Luma Shift Resolve -> Avid DNxHD MXF Media -> Avid by Bill Ravens on Feb 26, 2012 at 6:10:02 pm in the DaVinci Forum Mike, Of course, you're quite right. Jumping to insinuation and borderline insulting is really not very effective. So, let me elaborate. This issue has been reported on the BMD COW site, as well as in an email to BMD Customer Support.

	Re: Major Gamma / Luma Shift Resolve -> Avid DNxHD MXF Media -> Avid by Mike Most on Feb 26, 2012 at 5:49:00 pm in the DaVinci Forum Uhh, right. I'm sure the guys at Blackmagic really don't care about you or any other user and are just doing things to make it easy for themselves, while they continue to screw up their customers and sit at their desks in Singapore laughing about it.


	AVID AAF to Resolve, dissolve issue by Steve MacMillan on Feb 26, 2012 at 5:17:33 pm in the DaVinci Forum I have an Avid (Mac MC6) project that I have relinked to Alexa ProRes 4444 files via AMA.

	Re: So long, and thanks for all the fish by Daniel Frome on Feb 26, 2012 at 4:41:36 pm in the Apple FCPX or Not: The Debate Forum Edius does have a small but stable footprint in the news industry. As for why it didn't grow bigger? I think it does over all have a little less capability then FCP7 or Avid. Back when I used it it will didn't have 10bit support... but that's been

Well not until Avid bought the Liquid line, to kill it, many manifestations later. Alan


	Re: So long, and thanks for all the fish by Daniel Frome on Feb 26, 2012 at 2:38:40 pm in the Apple FCPX or Not: The Debate Forum I'll just add my own personal story that Edius is indeed a monster. It rips through anything, faster than any other NLE. I'm not a 'freelancer' in the sense that I use my home equipment very much, and therefore I've been happy to edit on FCP or


	Re: Color Correction: FCPX vs Premiere Pro by Oliver Peters on Feb 26, 2012 at 2:12:52 pm in the Apple FCPX or Not: The Debate Forum Let's be realistic. Speedgrade, Resolve and Color are all colorist tools that are way beyond what the average editor wants to deal with. From what I've seen, most FCP editors never even opened Color - or they did so once, were completely confused and

While basic, they is accurate enough to eliminate the setup of a computer monitor from this whole discussion. Plus you can take a screengrab and send


	Re: VERY useful poster to have at your disposal by Andrew McKee on Feb 26, 2012 at 12:59:08 pm in the AVID Forum If your school is an Avid Learning Partner they should just send you them.

	Re: Major Gamma / Luma Shift Resolve -> Avid DNxHD MXF Media -> Avid by Bill Ravens on Feb 26, 2012 at 3:16:56 am in the DaVinci Forum you guys didn't read what I posted. Yes, it's an Avid issue because it's Avid's DNxHD codec. BUT, the problem is an apathetic BMD who doesn't know how to use the codec, and hasn't read the AVID SDK. There's a swith inside f the codec to choose the vi

	Re: Control Surface choice by Joseph Owens on Feb 25, 2012 at 10:43:06 pm in the Apple Color Forum Depends on what applications you would like to continue using.

	Re: Is native prores stable enough to edit feature film? Or should we go dnxhd? by Toke Trangbæk on Feb 25, 2012 at 10:25:46 pm in the AVID Forum Because prores fits the rest of our workflow better. This is what we are used to work with in FCP, After Effects etc... So if it works just as good a DNXHD - why not stay with prores? I know I can do both. I am just looking for some real life expe

	Re: Is native prores stable enough to edit feature film? Or should we go dnxhd? by Toke Trangbæk on Feb 25, 2012 at 10:18:51 pm in the AVID Forum But does Avid 6 not change this? With the new native support for proves I should not need to re-encode it...
