Frank Capria: tests ProRes vs. DNxHD

ProRes vs. DNxHD

Frank - looks good.  Except I can't see a difference in the black frames at all.

Also, I'd have liked to seen how some rendered/cg content looks (or some straight video)

FCS remover - abandond

Yeah,  I had this cool idea of whipping up a shell script to remove all of the proapp content.

Which would be cool if I knew wtf I was doing in unix.

Which I don't.

So, in the middle of research on lsbom, I realized I'd have to find a way to parse your personal plist to figure out where the content for STP, DVDSP, Motion and Livetype is/was.  And it was over my head.

But if you live in that sorta world, please, feel free to drop me a line.

Motion Smarts: Downloads

A break from looking through the stuff on the proapps (P.S. DID YOU FIND SOMETHING AMAZINGLY COOL IN THE PROAPPS?  email me.)

Annoying motion (1+2, and maybe 3) problem.  If you have assets for a project that you made the mistake of importing from all over the place - there's no easy way to pull them all together.  Motion knows where they are.  We know we have the ability to read the XML.  Just no way to 'collect' them.

Till now: Motion Smarts: Downloads

Something Super Cool?

Been playing with the proapps?  Find someone supercool?  email me (email is @ top left of blog.

And some people are announcing that they got...

I'm getting emails (and comments) that say:

Either add your info to the comments or email me directly jeffg at final cut pro news dot com.

New Rumor on Release

New Rumor.
FCS 2 comes out the 15th. No, the 22nd.  No, it's delayed.  Or not.

Oh, and if you have that MacMini or Mac Book (thought you were going to save money, eh?)

According to the spec sheet:
Final Cut Studio is not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors
Whether that's the whole suite or not (and if someone hacks past that), we'll see.

Again, if your copy is marked as shipping - post this in the comments if you would.
