Only a logo for now. But more coming very soon.

Chroma noise filter, hummm...perhaps. -->>>

I'm pleased to notice that the Lumiere HD website is now more than just a logo. It's sort of fleshed out. Way to go! Now the only big thing left to add is a link to buy the product.

When is the Lumiere HD software going to be available? I have gone on the website but you can't purchase it yet. Wasn't it supposed to be available this week?

Louis,

We are just back from NAB...exhausted and thrilled with the incredible response we received.

We have a couple of big announcements to make early next week, at which point we will announce when the product will be available for purchase.

Thanks for you interest.

Picked up a copy at NAB

But had to send it out to the guy who is actually aquiring the footage. He is going to test it out and let me know how it is working, and what the quality looks like.

I'd like to know if it's possible to convert the HDV TS to DVCPRO HD. Now that FCP can handle DVCPRO HD similarly to DV (on a G5), maybe it's possible to have a more "online" process the whole way through. This would be important for accurate previews of graphics and special effects, especially if you're doing any chroma keying.

Murad,

Yes the new DVCPRO HD codec allows for an HD editing workflow and it is completely compatible with Lumiere HD.

Having said that, I see only one reason for editing in HD in the timeline: If you have an HD monitor to view your edits as you are editing.

Now, the DVI to ADC adapter with the FCP HD will allow you to use your second monitor as an HD monitor. So if you have an HD resolution monitor extra, I highly recomend this solution.

Finally, I still recomend bringing the project online (it's only 3 clicks with Lumiere HD) in order to use the source Quicktime Friendly MPEG2 Program Stream to render your final output.

Just a note to add that FCP HD actually also allows you to use your Main monitor as your HD monitor, so if you don't have a second HD resolution monitor, you can use a standard VGA monitor connected to your second video output, put your timeline on this and use your Cinema display as your HD monitor. Or you can switch back and forth as you feel like.
I've been using this setup and it seems to work quite nicely.
Lumiere also converts material to the DVCPRO HD format for editing very well.

Paul,

Furthermore, I hear there is a quick key that allows you to play your timeline in HD res, realtime, even if you have only one monitor!

Does anyone know what the quick key is?

Lumiere HD Status?

Dear Lumiere Folks - Any updates on the when Lumiere HD might be released? Some of us stand ready with cash in hand - and stacks of unedited HD tapes. Is the delay due to problems with the app or with packaging and production? My Final Cut Pro eagerly awaits this plug-in. DCS

David,

We made an annoucement on our website http://lumierehd.com

The target date is June 1st.

There are many reasons for the delay. Including, establishing reseller relationships, manufacturing and a new version 1.1 with a new and improved MPEG-2 encoder.

We are very excited about version 1.1...

June 1 Sounds Good

Frederic - Thanks for the reply. All I've found on the web site is "Coming Soon" but I appreciate the additional information. Can we order now or do we wait until June 1?

David,

No need to order in advance. You can see the announcement I mentioned and other topics regarding Lumiere HD in the sites forum. "Click on the support link".

Thanks for your patience. Another factor for the delay is that we REALLY want to make a good product and our team has a tendency to be on the perfectionism side...:)

Got It!

Thanks for the pointer to the FAQ. Now I'll just count the days to June 1. Incidentally, we potential purchasers are glad your developers are perfectionsists.
