Any advice on how to "think" in Avid when coming from Vegas?

Notes: I need to learn Avid for an upcoming project and I've only really used Vegas and Pinnacle Studio 7. Of course, I'm getting the Avid tutorial DVDs asap.

Federico Prieto · April 17th, 2004, 05:24 PM

First at all....I am a Vegas user (and fan)

In my opinion AVID is very easy to handle.....Just Read the manual carefully and make son exercises. If you dedicate one or two full days to the AVID editor you will work with it without problems....No like an expert but enough for to make your job....

Richard Alvarez · April 17th, 2004, 09:43 PM

Download Avid FreeDv for free. Get a feel for the interface. Many more bells and whistels of course on the Pro version, but at least you can learn where the menus are, how the timeline works...

Can avid and dvstorm live together in one computer.
Will AVid and the Dvstorm card plus software, the software that comes with it, (e.g. Adobe Premiere, etc..) installed in one computer probably cause havoc...

Does anyone have the same configuration where in both of them are installed. Coz I donot want to buy another computer for each of them.

Present system: Dual Xeon, SATA drives in RAID

thanks guys

We've been running some multiburst test on our Avid Mojo system. In these tests we found one serious flaw. The DAC is noisy and shows substantial high frequency loss. If we run the same signal out via firewire to our dsr1500 and use the sony DACs the signal integrity is substantially improved.

I'm wondering if other people have noticed the same or if perhaps we recieved a problem unit.

I would like to say otherwise the unit shows good bandwidth. The ADC side is fine and the codec internally seems to operate very well. (There is an anomoly where input signals, captured at dv25, are cropped at 100ire, but we haven't figured out exactly what's going on there.)

Rob Lohman · May 19th, 2004, 03:11 AM

I have no experience with that system, but for it being a
professional system I would not find that good enough. Perhaps
something is faulty with the hardware?

Hello all!

Just wanted to see what kind of camcorders people are using with Pinnacle Liquid Edition. I'm shopping around for a 3ccd and have narrowed it to either a GL2, AG-DVC80 or a VX2100.

I'd appreciate any input on anyone's experience with those 3 Camcorders and Liquid Edition

Thanks in advance!

Arnold

George Ellis · May 28th, 2004, 09:06 AM

I know folks using GL2s. I use a VX2100. I do not remember if the 80a does 24p, as LE does not support 24p.

Otherwise, any IEEE1394 camera that I have seen works with LE.

Arnold San Diego · May 28th, 2004, 09:25 AM

Thanks for the input George! Now, if I can just settle on which camcorder to buy. :)

Pinnacle supports a product bulletin board. So if you have other questions, they can also help.

I received an email from Avid claiming they're "ready" for everything from HDV to uncompressed HD.

http://www.avid.com/hd/index.asp?dm=DSHDHTMLQ304

I also thought this was interesting:

"Avid Xpress Pro
Native HDV and JVCPRO HD editing plus Avid DNxHD"

(Of course, Avid says it's not shipping yet...But JVCPRO HD??? Do they mean DVCPRO?)

Bob England · July 14th, 2004, 03:20 PM

No, they mean HDV.
Avid really is excited by HDV. They think it's going to hit big in the way that DV did.
I attended their Experience Avid In Motion tour when it was here in LA and they showed some beautiful shots of autumn scenery on their HD projection system that had the audience buzzing when they revealed that it was HDV. It's their intention to support it natively beginning with Avid Xpress Pro in the next release coming by the end of the year.

Bob England · July 14th, 2004, 03:27 PM

Heath,

I just reread your quote "Avid Xpress Pro
Native HDV and JVCPRO HD editing plus Avid DNxHD"
and went to the Avid website. It must have been a typo, because everywhere I looked, it said Native HDV and DVCPRO HD.
They didn't get as much play in the press as Apple did, but at NAB Avid also announced support for DVCPRO HD.
