PremPro CS3 Features Announced

well, if its not included.. raylight from DVfilm now lets you import MXFs directly into PPRO anyway. it is inexpensive and actually works great.
 
But Adobe own Serious Magic and had the encoding technology (DVCPro Encoder) sitting there waiting to be incorporated.

Dumb shmucks!!!!

FCP takes in MXF files so easily yet Adobe ignored it.

Do not hold your breath for 3.5.
 
LAME on no .mxf file support...

Timewarping & scaling... so does this allow keyframed clip speed changing? (ie keyframe the clip to go from 100% to 50% so it does it slows down over time?)

Also, the timewarp feature - what makes this "better" for slow motion? Is this really all that great for use when slowing down standard footage? Also, does that mean 60p footage played back at 24p or 30p and then slowed down to 70% in timewarp could look real nice and real slow?

I doubt it. Timewarp would have to interpolate the extra frames like all other softwares and 60p doesn't do this very well.

I think it would be a pretty convenient feature nonetheless to allow for instant speed-ramping of footage right in the Premiere timeline instead of the more confusing AE interface. No more having to do it in AE and then render out for Premiere.

Yes it would allow keyframeable speed ramping in the timeline. Checkout the link.

One assumes they have used the AE technology because that is also called Timewarp. Editors normally call it a speed ramp.

There is other technology that can speed ramp very successfuly eg Twixtor 4.5 so at this moment I would not be too pessimistic until it is tested in PremPro CS3
 
No DVCPROHD support native in the new Premiere Pro????

Just ordered the HVX....guess I can use a plug in....but maybe I should think more seriously about Final Cut Pro now....I really hoped Adobe would be very keen to support the HVX....

Looks like you'll still need Raylight...

Yeh...it looks like Raylight will be the most economical option...and may wait to upgrade the suite until adobe provide the native support...was kinda confident it would be this time around....thought they would do it for sure....

Oh well..bring on Premiere Pro 4 I guess!!
 
..yeah. it does seem really odd if .mxf support is not included since they do have the DVCPRO HD decoding tech from the serios magic side of things, but raylight is actually a great solution for a great price. ..just pop the plugin into the plugins folder, and there you have it.. mxf support just like any other supported file type. I guess since I already own it, im not complaining. I havent tried using it with AE yet, but when i have a sec im going to try it out. they share so much common architechture that i wouldnt be suprised if it works fine.
 
does anyone know if dvrack will come bundled with the new production suite? cause if you watch the proffesional on set monitoring vid on link

you can see the HVX about 2 second in the video. it hard to tell but u can see the p2 slot indicator in the top of the lcd screen.

i may try out the new software off a torrent if it does!!! <-- im just a poor student and spent all my money on a hvx

DVRack is now called Adobe OnLocation and is bundled with Premiere CS3. It's an odd choice how they're not selling the software separately anymore. You think forcing people to buy the $800 Premiere vs. the $500 DVRack would cost Adobe some customers.
 
If DVrack = OnLocation and is bundled with Premiere; what about DVRackHD???
Or is that all one program now and they don't make the distinction betweeen the two anymore (SD-HD)?
