No......I grade broadcast shows on Color all the time...... But I guess you would need to be doing projects on a good professional budget to justify the presumed expense of the software.....someone working in their garage on low budget industrial videos or cheapie ads, $50,000 features etc would probably not really be in the market for such a system... That's all I meant.... PW

[Andy Mees] "As noted, this has been my understanding, but I'm no hardware engineer and this could all be hokum." Me neither. I guess that would be a good question to ask the guys at Matrox.

"It will be a Colour Grading setup only, editing is a low priority." You think that now -- but there are so many issues with the round trip that you will need to become VERY technically conversant with FCP so that you can "fix" the timelines that you will be getting, without altering them. There is ALWAYS a reason that the round trip will fail, and it is USUALLY for some good reason, but it will still require excellent,...

[Bram Desmet] "I think I may have said too much already so I'll retreat before I am chided by our developers." :) Understood. Thanks a lot for taking the time. Jeremy

Digitize the show off the tape, import the EDL into FCP, place the QT of the tape onto a separate track in the timeline created by the EDL and use the EDL as a guide to notch the movie. Then delete the EDL layer(s) and the empty tracks, send to Color. Grade, send back to FCP. Add headers if necessary and lay off to tape.

Just FYI, we are testing 9.21 as we speak and that firmware fixes the audio problem. Should be released in the next couple of days. Also, in our testing we have found that it only happens with about 10% of SDI sources, mostly in SD-SDI and much less frequently in HD-SDI. Anyway, we recognize that this bug slipped in at some point and will get this resolved for you shortly. Thank you for your patience. Bram Desmet FSI (Flanders Scientific,...

I've never haerd of that. Could it be DCI (Digital Cinema Initiative) ? Director of the Institute of Media Research (IMF) at Braunschweig University of Arts

thanks guys. I landed up just cutting it up in FCP and adding keyframes for the dissolves. Took some time but looks great. Nick Hasson www.niceedits.com

Thanks Uli I am doing some tests now, I never checked the de-interlace on render-out in Color, strange thing is that now I get some footage well rendered and some flattened even if it's from the same camera, same capture and same Media manager batch out. Enrico www.indydoc.it

Hi folks, Still not clear on what I'm seeing where, why and how to understand it. This first still is what I see in FCP when ingesting a Red clip via the native-wrapped method and this is what I base my decision to color correct This second still is what I see once I have sent to Color the first still - not the first shift in color between the two ie more neutral/colder And finally the third still is the same as the second but with color...
