Anyone Interested in a DV Rack like app for MAC?

I'm in. The scopes in DV Rack seem to simulate the look of a real waveform/vectorscope pretty well. Much better than the wierd spray of dots that passes for scopes in Final Cut. I wonder if this could be rigged as a plugin for Final Cut?
Click to expand...

Ctrl Click your waveform and check the line saturation. There is your old analog Waveform...

(I prefer the dots, though...)

A quick update your everyone. The app is up and running. We are adding the GUI now and optimizing the app to run on older mac hardware. We will support the HVX200 from the get go.

I will post more info as we get closer.
 
I like many of Barry's comments, especially the wrapping in QT for edit. As well, a dongle is a pain in the rear. They get lost, especially now that the laptop has become a field recorder and gets packed and moved so much, dongles tie up a port that otherwise could be used and they never work properly in a hub. I also think it should be tied to 2 computers, not necessarilry a desktop and laptop. In one of our other setup combos, the field and studio (hotel) systems are both run on laptops though the hotel system has a lot of stuff hanging off of it. I'm not cheap, but 500 seems a bit high, But I only have DVRack and their promised DVCProHD product to come that are priced from 200 to 300. I fear a lot of smaller indie filmmakers make not plunk that amount down but you gotta make money or why do it. Make sure you include over-saturatiuon and high video level warning indicators, but not zebras. Split screen is a must I agree. Camera controls record function pleaseeeeeeee!

Will look forward to seeing this soon. Shooting a feature doc starting May 16th, will you have a beta available by then?

Best of luck with this.

This sounds fantastic and I'll certainly be buying a license, but please don't forget the PAL community - 720p 50/25 please, please please!!!

Thanks

I'm also very interested. As many people have said here before, if you need a Beta tester, I'm willing and able.
 
Give me PAL setups and PN and I'd quite happily splash $500 on it.

To say that the lack of PAL support for an HVX on a Mac is lacking is an understatement.

I want to play with slo-mo on something other than my HVX LCD...


yours hopefully,

Locked to two processors (laptop and/or desktop) like the telecom apps
of novamedia.de :-)
File format must be universal, the times they are a changin', ya know.
Need a beta tester? Email me.
 
I have to say with three large computers in the studio, three laptops to use in the field, not all for monitoring the shoot, I'd support a program that allowed me to use it on whatever machine I needed to do the trick at the time! What's this restriction business!
 
Pal support at this point will work with DV. We have not tested our app with a Pal HVX. Please PM me if you have a Pal HVX, include which Mac model you are running as well as your specs.. OS version, ram, HD size and Speed, heck it might be easiest if you run a System profile and send that along ;')

The price is currently up in the air, we will be competative, but keep in mind that software development is not cheap, damn where are those indian programmers when you need them?

Our Goal is to give you all the tools you are asking for and more.

We are still working out the licensing/ anti-piracy. This is a tricky subject, as we dont want to limit you in using it, but we will need to keep piracy in check somehow. Hopefully we will find a good middle ground.

I will ask for Beta testers when we are ready.

I am hoping to show and possibly be able to sell the software at the NY HVX boot Camp. I will keep you all posted.

I also second that dongle's suck and not a big fan. Something like what final draft does in that you can only have it installed on two computers.


Would be cool to see this happen. What has been your design background? Quality control? and future expansion models?
