Alexis is second to none in the quality of his technical writing. I consider the user manual he wrote for Shake 4 to be one of the best manuals I've read in over 20+ years. It's actually "readable,"...

This is what I'm intending to do with Steve Shaw's Lightspace CMS with Davinci Resolve. Resolve can use a calibration LUT generated by Lightspace as a Display LUT, which is great, but of course...

oops...sorry about the double post

Anyone who is in the market for a PCIe expansion chassis for their Mac Pro–specifically the Cyclone expansion boxes–should be warned that the cooling fans that ship with these units are INSANELY...

I already have an archival system that works well for my existing workflow. I work mainly in advertising/commercial work, so the scenario you describe isn't particularly practical for my needs.

I know this is dumb question, but is it kosher to span a multi-tape LTO archive set across two different flavors of LTO tape media?

In other words, can I use 1x LTO-5 tape and 1x LTO-4 tape to...

This is fantastic! It's been a total lifesaver for my workflow. Thanks Mikael!

+1 regarding the Cyclone love.

I had problems getting my 2707 chassis working with Resolve on a 2008 Mac Pro (bottom line: it DOESN'T work, and I wish BMD would be explicit about this fact in...

Just following up with my Cyclone issues for the sake of anyone else wanting to use it with a 2008 Mac Pro.

Eric from Cyclone was amazing in following through trying to get my problems solved, and...

Hmm. I just got my Cyclone 600-2707 yesterday and I seem to be having the exact same problem Jordan was having. My early-2008 Mac Pro does not even see the Cyclone HBA card in slot 2. And the only...

I've killed a few "DIT"s my own self, because of this.

However, I've found Clipfinder's "Make RDC directories" command to be awesome for automatically moving the R3Ds into their own RDC folders.

Why would you feel bad for Apple if FCP-X is (if your assumption is correct) "where the money is" for them?

While Apple's "professional customers" may be philosophically important to them, I very...

What GPU are you running? I don't see this behavior with REDCODE files using Color 1.0.4 running on an ATI x1900 card.

I'm not sure who to direct this bug towards. Did Apple develop the RED plugin for Color independently of RED? Or did Apple simply give the RED devs hooks into the Color API so that they could do the...

Sorry to have to do this, but I'm bumping this topic...I can't be the only one having this issue...it's quite a serious workflow problem.

If it helps to nail down the problem, I'm using the...

Huh...I guess I am the only one who is experiencing this problem?

Yup...I ran into the exact same problem a week or so ago. The RAW playback in Color looks fine, but once you hit Render, you get the awful sparklies.

I too figured out that the only workaround...

Anyone here experiencing issues with Apple Color rendering clips out with incorrect timecode when working with native REDCODE clips?

I'm noticing that if you set Color.app to render clips out with...

I can't think of an instance when these iPhone apps would be as/more useful than someone just sticking their hands in front of the lens and clapping them together. At the very least, the sound will...

I don't know what the hell was causing the problem, but I just resorted to the nucular option and reinstalled my whole system from scratch...and now everything seems to work fine.

The funny thing...

Huh...you may be on to something here, Steve.

Here's the AJA System Test with DMA off:

Ah, that was a fun exercise though :P I use MenuMeters to monitor my CPU usage, so I donʻt really need to load up Activity Monitor for things like that. I thought there was some secret sauce...

There's no appreciable performance difference when in Single-display mode.

Interestingly enough, none of the 8 CPU cores are anywhere near pegged out when playing back. They hover at 50% at best....

As I mentioned in my initial post, I'm spinning a 10-disk 5TB SATA RAID0 stripeset (2x5 Sonnet Fusion D500s connected to a Sonnet E4P eSATA interface card).

AJA System Test reports a sustained...

Yes. I mentioned this in my post.
