DVCPROHD workflow costs

Re: DVCPROHD workflow costs

Well, again, it's completely out of my area of knowledge once you start talking about FCP. As I understand it, DVCPRO-HD, being an I-frame-only DV-based codec, should be able to do the same firewire-streaming preview as you can currently do with a DV camera... i.e., you should be able to plug the firewire out of the computer into the AJ-1200 deck, and watch live real-time firewire-streaming previews on your HD monitor.

Of course, that deck is $25,000. Whether the camera will be able to do that remains to be seen... or, perhaps someone will come up with an A/D device that takes firewire in, decodes DVCPRO-HD and outputs analog component, so you wouldn't need to have the camera there all the time.

But I don't think anything like that exists *yet*.

Jeez, People,

the guy is an apple prod manager! - Apple! He is not going to give head for rumors! He'd be fired in a pinch!

Paul, it's very nice to have you with us, and to see how manufacturers are understanding the seriousness of this site. It's the best channel to hear about the true needs of pro/prosumer FCP users.

Oh, and if it's a practical joke, kudos, it is a very good one!

Cheers!
 
Re: DVCPROHD workflow costs

Thanks for the (quite good!) P2 recap, Barry, but it still doesn't answer why the Apple product manager said that the new version of FCP would support P2. I don't understand how the current version of FCP (or any other NLE) could not support it; it's like saying that the new version of your NLE will support Maxtor hard drives.

Unless maybe it has something to do with the proxy streams I read about in some of the P2 documentation?
 
Re: DVCPROHD workflow costs

I believe that what Paul is referencing is that fast USB support for the P2 will be announced. The format streaming over 1394 is a no brainer. But picking up files and moving them quickly over USB is new on the Apple platform, from what I understand.

Hope that helps,

Jan
 
Re: DVCPROHD workflow costs

Perhaps it's the fact that DVCProHD stores native video stream at 60fps on tape, regardless of frame rate used, and because the way the timeline works now in FCP, is probably doing a pull down (much like the DVX 24p footage).  Perhaps native support for P2 in the next release signifies that they can read pure native frame-rates from a "data file" with all it's meta-data.

Off Course Not, don't take me wrong, it's just that apple is somewhat known for it's discretion about upcoming developings, if you know what I mean, afterall, Mr. Jobs kinda grew accostumed to the surprised awes at apple's keynotes...
