DVL-Digest 703 - Postings: Index FCP v EditDV ORIG POST ON: PD150 Prog Scan PD150 Prog Scan - 15 or 30 fps FCP v EditDV - Adam Wilt My question was concerned with the differences between FCP and EditDV when > used on a G4 with dual processsing. Both utilize the dual CPUs, as long as (a) you download the dual-CPU update from Digital Origin for EditDV or (b) Install QT 5 for FCP. QT 5's codec is the faster of the two in either single- or dual-CPU Macs. > Can someone justify the cost of spending twice as much on one rather > than the other ? Yes, easily. If the more expensive program works more naturally with the way you think, you'll save huge amount of time and frustration for the added cost. Well worth it. If, OTOH, EditDV and you see eye-to-eye but FCP seems alien, then EditDV would be worth twice the price -- to you. Right? > Which is easiest to learn ? See previous answer. They're very different. They both have their own quirks and workflows. Which one works best for you depends on how you think about NLE and the way you go about working. > Are there any alternatives ? Premiere 6.0. A really solid upgrade on 5.X. Nothing revolutionary, really, just lots of little tweaks here and there in the UI design and in the workflow model. Adobe has learned, apparently, from things like Incite and FAST Studio.

Observe the image on a decent CRT monitor. 2) Switch either to 1/30 sec shutter speed, or any but the first setting in FLASH mode. Observe how the horizontal resolution wedges lose resolution, and alias horribly. Also look at the center circles (which span only a couple of scanlines) and see how badly they get screwed up. Cheers, Adam Wilt PD150 Prog Scan - 15 or 30 fps - Adam Wilt There's a lot of talk about this mode and was wondering why it's so > important--Is this the way to shoot if transfering to film? In PAL, 25fps proscan (or faked proscan) video transfers to film very nicely. In NTSC, 30fps frame-mode tape to film is a disaster. See my DVExpo handout on digital filmmaking at http://www.adamwilt.com/DVExpo.html. Cheers, AJW (diese posts stammen von der DV-L Mailingliste - THX to Adam Wilt and Perry Mitchell :-) [up] |
