Offline editing?

Greame, it seems you can cheat FCP to go 4096 by importing an XML:

Note the 120 fps framerate....

Discreet Lustre is a color correction system and would not be used for online editing - yes it can be tricked into behaving like an online suite, but that is certainly not its intended purpose. Same goes for Scratch.

What leads you to say that SCRATCH is not a finishing box?

I wonder - is Quantel IQ truly resolution independent? I though it was just an HD box.

I worked for Quantel for awhile, and yes - it is resolution independent. There are some odd quirks here and there when you try to make certain resolutions and framerates behave like other resolutions and framerates. But, you can certainly mix 2K, HD, and NTSC on an iQ timeline and have relative freedom with how they uprez/downrez.

I stand corrected in both cases. Thanks Lucas - if there was an icon of me eating humble pie I'd throw in a string of them!

Our company beta-tested an iQ system back in 1999/2000 and it was so frustrating and incomplete (at just HD) that we had to turn to Discreet - that was the end of an 8 year stint as a Quantel artist for me, and I never looked back. Question - what compositing tools does SCRATCH offer? I'm excited to look more into this (as obviously the info I was given was wrong / biased.)

to all the poor people - I hope you understand that RED cannot solve all your problems. You need money to buy a Red, you need money to buy batteries ( i am sure red will not deliver batteries with the camera - i read this question on the board....) you will need lenses, adapters, sticks and a fluid head.. and that all in a functional quality. you need to edit and you will have a lot of data... so please what do you believe. buying a red one for 17k and that´s it ?
I am still wondering....

I wasn't saying you were wrong... I just wanted to know what led you to the statement that SCRATCH was not a finishing system. :)

In the early days, iQ was a very difficult system to work with. In the past 2 years or so, it has matured quite a bit. It is still extremely expensive (US$400K+) but it is a very capable system.

Not to be vague, but it really does depend on what you're trying to do. There is keying, tracking, rotospline based shapes, multilayers with X/Y/Z scale, position, and rotation, an animation curve editor, and an extensive color system. OpenFX is the plugin API, so you can load several "standard" plug-in packages. So, yes - SCRATCH has quite a bit of compositing functionality, but I'm not sure I would call it a compositor, per se...

If you have more specific questions than that, please contact me offlist at lucas@assimilateinc.com.

Cheers,
