Sample Clips for Workflow Test?

[nosoapradio]

I'm very close to pulling the trigger and purchasing the EX1 for a job this summer. I was just curious if anyone knows of a site/link that may have sample files to download, as they would appear on the SxS card, so I can give it to my editor for a workflow test?

Cheers!

Great question.... I'd be curious about the same. Looking at this camera as well and I'd love to test some camera-original footage out. Anyone?

EDIT: Hey, nosoapradio.... Ideally, there'd be some samples for download. I'm still diggin' around myself. If anyone really needs to test all workflow possibilities, Vortex Media has this DVD {$35} of SxS clips shot in a variety of formats.

Just found these clips for download. {Special thanks to Erwin van Dijck}.

Not meant as a double-post... just *bump*ing this up as the search continues.

After further googlage, it turns out Philip Bloom already was kind enough to post a "Uncompressed XDCAM EX / Letus Clip" {1080p25}.

Thanks, Philip!

Still hunting for off-the-card material and may end up biting the bullet to get Vortex's sampler DVD. Being an editor-by-trade, we are at the post-versus-picture stage. I am sold on the EX1 and realize that all the necessary drivers are forthcoming. Avid's 2.8.3 (Media Composer) went gold recently and is slated for download soon.

I have absolutely no interest in touching Final Cut with this material AND I own a full-blown Final Cut suite. I'd rather shoot-then-wait-for-Avid than deal w/ FCP.
