Err? Is this recent? Trying this about six months ago didn't work (latest QuickTime on Windows 7 at the time) and Google searches turned up numerous confirmations that it didn't work -- couldn't even...

We need to be able to ingest 4444 for dailies -- not for Red projects, obviously, but for other cameras/recorders. And of course we need to be able to render out ProRes for any job cutting in FCP --...

Any word about ProRes 4444 support on Windows? Our primary grading system is Mac-based, but it would be really nice to use low-cost Windows boxes with Resolve Lite for dailies transcoding, etc. Just...

This is misleading. I don't recall FCP 7 having a 64-bit GPU-accellerated rendering engine, background rendering, or many other things FCP X has.



When does Apple significantly pre-announce...

This.

We mostly provide grading and workflow services (like dailies) for indie features. Projects that come to us are about evenly split between FCP (7, so far) and Media Composer (nobody has even...

Apple is pretty good about keeping ports closed by default. And there's a bunch of new sandboxing going on in Lion that can, in many instances, protect the system even if particular processes are...

Before the conspiracy theories start up about how Apple must be abandoning ProRes because of separate downloads: FCP X heavily uses ProRes out of the box. But it's based on AV Foundation, so it...

Some current pros will have the patience... but Apple's real target here is probably the next generation of editors. People keep acting as if the iMovie importing features are a personal insult to...

That would be my question as well. Even most Hollywood features are still onlined at 2K. Unless there's a very good reason to work with this footage at 4K (i.e. unless it's specialty video for...

FCP X doesn't see events and projects on network volumes. It can, however, import (either via copying or referencing) media from network volumes.

It's fairly easy to see, from a technical...

I'm going to go with 2018.



I'm sure if the Dreamcolor and the Plasma where in the same room as the DI projector, you'd see minor differences. Hell, there are minor differences on some shots...

LCD panels are not inherently locked to 60 Hz. That it, it's not a fundamental limitation of LCD technology. But it is the only refresh rate mainstream desktop displays support. Hilariously, this is...

I am using "refresh rate" to mean the number of frames sent to the screen per second by the graphics hardware (this is basically all "refresh rate" is on modern digital systems; it has other...

Nothing you're saying has any particular relationship to how modern GPUs interact with modern LCDs and projectors over digital interfaces. Most desktop LCD displays use a fixed 60 Hz refresh....

These are features that apply to the GPU's on-board video decoding capabilities. They're not filters that get applied to the entire screen image. Some of them, like edge enhancement, would seriously...

Yes, but if the GPU can drive the screen at a refresh rate that matches the video frame rate (or is an even multiple of it), you get entirely accurate motion cadence. Otherwise the display pipeline...

A fair number of GPUs can output at 24/25/50 Hz these days. As far as interlacing goes... modern display technologies are all natively progressive, so even broadcast monitors de-interlace internally...

Not to impinge on anyone's integrity, but asking FSI if using a $600 Dell screen in place of one of their $5000 broadcast monitors is good enough is kind of like asking Red if shooting 2K ProRes on...

This assumes Apple cares about starting Internet firestorms. Apple plays a long game. They may be of the opinion that this is just a flash in the pan. And they may be right.

QuickTime had a generalized architecture for handling video I/O devices and streams. There is speculation that FCP X currently lacks 'real' video output because AV Foundation does not yet have such...

As I noted previously, this was the general argument against the iPad; it doesn't do anything laptops don't do. I see no reason to believe this argument will be more accurate when applied to this...

I'm mostly debunking a lot of nonsense about there being anything particularly unique about broadcast monitors.

But fundamentally... the raw quality of output from FCP X's rendering engine is as...

Honestly, this kind of thing grows tiring. As the capabilities of low-cost hardware and software approaches have increased, some folks in this industry seem to have reacted to this by becoming...

Oops, missed this before.

YUV to RGB conversion is utterly trivial. They're not different color spaces, they're just different ways of encoding data. ColorSync is unnecessary for this conversion....
