I have to backup Gary here.. I've edited quite a lot HDV natively in Premiere pro 2 on my system, and it is a maaaaajor pain in the **s. My system is quite hefty, so it isn't because of the hardware.
Although I haven't tried Aspect HD I know it's supposed to speed up the process tenfold, I'm more sceptic about the Matrox solution though. But these are just assumptions mind you! --------------- 2x 3.4GHZ Intel Xeon 2GB Ram Nvidia Quadra FX 3450 GFX card OS: 74 GB WD Raptor VIDEO: 2x 250GB SATA2 - www.dunderfilm.no www.suneworld.com ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, June 06, 2006 4:33 PM Subject: RE: [AP] HDV >WHat is required for the HDV editing? While Premiere Pro 2 alone can edit HDV footage, the workflow is very clunky and slow. By adding either CineForm Aspect HD software or the new Matrox RT.X2 hardware you will get a much better workflow. Aspect HD http://www.videoguys.com/cineform.html Aspect HD incorporates CineForm IntermediateT technologies to allow you to edit multiple HDV streams, add motion titles, color adjustments, dissolves, wipes, page peels, picture-in-picture and much more - all in real time, without rendering. Think of AspectHD as a software accelerator for Premiere Pro. It works just like a real-time hardware accelerator but with this new technology - it's software only! We have just recieved in our first shipment of RT.X2! We are expecting more units to arrive later this week. We are extremely excited about this breakthrough new technology for real-time HDV & DV editing. I made the following post on the matrox RTX.100 discussion board about the RT.X2, and I think it's very important, so I'm adding to todays blog entry: RT.X2 http://www.videoguys.com/rtx2.html HDV footage at 1080i can pass via firewire to the computer, but when it actually comes to editing and working with the footage, you need to be able to handle significantly more data - more like 5 times the data of DV. Add in the complexity in handling the GOP structure of HDV, and it's just not something pure CPU power can handle effectively. With the RT.X2 not only can you handle the HDV streams in real-time, you can mix HDV & DV footage in the same timeline in real-time. You can also color correct in realtime. Talk to HDV editors who are used to real-time DV editing, and they'll be glad to tell you about the pain they're going through working with HDV footage. With RT.X2 the pain is gone, you get the same great workflows you' ve come to know and love w/ RTX100. Yes, RT.X2 is expensive at 2 grand, but those making money from video and working with HDV footage will find it pays for itself quickly.
