#PAR or FAST
>>Thats why you would hire out to have someone else preconfigure. Yeah right!
Wouldn't that be funny since I do this kind of thing as part of my consulting
profession for other video post houses in this area.
>>I dont disagree but someone else told me that non linear is
much faster than shuttleing decks. I am not sure myself.
Yes it is BUT, in business one must look at the total picture. ie.
How long will the project take from start to finish. While, I can
select scenes and cut them together faster than linear editing it
still takes additional time to digitize and then there is always
those fill shots from your library that you have to shuttle to find,
then digitize them and the rendering to view a transition is time
consuming too. This is why I'm not totally convinced that NLE is the
total answer. In the FAST VM you can work using a timeline which is
far supperior to an edit controller with edl. Then either use the DPR
or do it linear or a combination of both. Transitions are realtime
which is much faster than rendering.
From what I understand the products like Razor Pro renders each frame not just
the transitions. It's just that the transitions take longer. Now this is just
what I wanted… making video editing just like doing an animation rendering.
NOT! Maybe the PVR will solve this and the new razor pro will render real time
output. If that is so I'll take a second look. For now I still have a toy.
