  • 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 :)

SCRATCH-CINE is here...

No output to ProRes kills this for me... it cuts out the most demanded workflow option - ScratchCine on-set laying off dailies & ProRes for offline editorial in Final Cut, then conforming via ScratchCine to output files for the online.

ProRes is the lynchpin of a good Final Cut offline/online workflow... no ProRes in ScratchCine means I have to use other tools. I would rather pay $30K per station (and I'd buy two right now, with two or three more down the road) than build it myself, but Assimilate/Apple has cut out that workflow option for me.

And forget laying to tape... a very big, network TV show greenlit today with us for RED and zero tape involved.

For ProRes, i think you probably want to go with Speedgrade XR on OSX, its multiplatform (win/osx/linux).

Its not Assimilates fault that cine cant do prores, thats by the will of Apple, as they want to lock anyone besides FCS2 owners on OSX out of Prores.
 
Hi Lucas,

I can see the Scratch workflow is closed. That means we can't post, or the thread is dead. We start a small R&D project to make scratch cine, FCP and Smoke work together for mid-end to high-end market...We gonna have tons of question and problem and quality test in real commercial context. You thing it is possible to have demo of Scratch Cine? A place to post?

Thanks mathieu
 
EVS have prores on their XT2 servers... that's a DDR that records HDSDI in and stores the files in a choice of different formats, including DNXHD for Avid workflows and ProRes for FCP workflows.

It's primarily used in Sports OBs - for camera replays etc, but also used as a source for on site edits. Files are squirted across to the Edit SAN and are accessible whilst being copied. It can also record direct to the Edit SAN without tieing up edit stations.

For Avid it has needed Media Manager or Interplay to work in the past, not sure if this is still the case. For FCP I think it works as a direct connection.

So ProRes on Windows (the XT2 recently moved from DOS to Win2K I think) is a possibility, depending on how important it seems to Apple (or how much they make out of it). I would guess the former as the OB editing market is not insignificant, and EVS are already all over the acquisition side of it.
 
Any new REDBoxx only here.
Would like to learn your experience

How does it being different from the Silverado package.

Lucas, for the embedded audio, do you know if it's gonna be included as a free update or we'll have to buy the whole thing again?

You will certainly not have to buy the whole thing again!! Embedded R3D audio support will be rolled into an upgrade that will be free, provided that maintenance/support is current.

But I do want to make it clear that does not mean embedded SDI audio. That is a whole different kettle of fish.

updates on audio in Scratch?

updates on audio in Scratch?

Any updates from Assimilate with regard to playing out embedded audio from R3D files in Scratch? Assuming, of course, I have a sound card built into my Scratch box.

Any more info would be very helpful.

Thanks!
 
Does anyone have a solid list of Audio Cards that are compatible with the Scratch box that will allow for R3D embedded audio playdown?
 
Does anybody whom could ingest HDSdi into a Scratch Real-time?
What would be your input device/card??
