  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Foundry STORM - we're online

1) Say we're shooting multiple cameras in mixed formats (eg, I get a lot of Red shoots with EX1/EX3/7D/5Ds as extra cameras) - can I get them into Storm easily and get them on the same timeline, and grade (with a more limited set of tools, obviously)??

We expect to support other cameras over time. Each camera may need its own special "camera effect" like the RED one now. Once the media is in you can use any effect on it except a camera effect from a different type of media. So you could not use the RED effect on 5D material, but there are plenty of others.

2) There also seems to be mention on the website of using Storm to run automated backups of footage:- Please tell me these can use checksums? And that, again, it will talk with other camera footage??

Subject of a lot of discussion internally. We know how important this feature is, but we really don't want to release it half baked, so no backup in the Nov release.

Loving the idea, loving the look of the GUI, and loving having scopes. Very excited.

+1 - As awesome as Storm looks like it is going to be, I would love the ability to stay in one app to do what Storm is doing and backup footage in the background.

What would be brilliant, would be to have Storm back up the footage to two locations, and then add the footage to the bin as soon as the second copy of footage was done being verified. Just a thought - keep up the great work, I'm looking forward to November.
 
Juts a Tough, but some one might just want to FIX the LINK on the Advertisement Banner here on Reduser, since when you click on it it just does not work.. just a tough ;)

Following the progress anxiously btw, can't wait to get it installed in my machines and start learning it together with my DIT's.

*sigh* I would punch a stranger to test Storm out. Well, here's to waiting until next year.

Hi Bruce,

You will be able to download and use Storm free of charge from November 1st till February next year. So you only have to wait 3 weeks... No punching strangers please :)

I'm assuming that will be only the Mac version?
 
I to am exited about storm, and I havn't even tried to work with red footage yet.

What I hope for the most is that storm will develop into a multiformat do it all system. Just as premiere pro, but on a higher level. Proper colorgrading sollution, and red raw handling.

I believe that integration of other codecs will be key like others have metioned. It will be to limiting if you were unable to intercut R3D files with XDCAM or DSLR footage.

And . Just out of couriosity. How will storm handle the mp4 files from the proxy module?

I plan to use the proxy module as my primary recording module, for any doc/event/run n gun projects. And I just need a reason to kick premiere pro out of my workflow.

Don't get me wrong, I like premiere. But it's lacking high end support, such as. Grading Control Surface and propper realtime histograms, and waveform monitors.
I was so happy to see the integration of those tools. It's exactly what I have been waiting for Adobe would have done, but didn't.

I think you guys don't even know what golden ratio you are about to hit with this product. It has the high end stuff, it has the accessibility, the price tag, and it seems to be flexible enough to potentially become the swiss army knife of post work.
Most important. It has the right developers who are dedicated for all the right reasons.

So I guess I formally ask if the foundry would like to be my new NLE supplyer.
