I don't think this is going to be a problem for Adobe. I work in an industry that has a vocal minority online that complains that they aren't going to buy our product every time we do some small...

You'll find that the drivers and performance of Windows 7 will rival that of OS X in a professional editing environment.

The only thing you'll probably find weird is the Mouse acceleration Curve...

Wow. Now I feel really stupid that I haven't seen this feature for years now!

Can we get more accurate audio timing than just snapping to frames yet? It's what keeps me from recommending Premiere Pro to everybody.

Samples, Milliseconds, anything!

It would be pretty disappointing if BlackMagic wasn't on board. I would imagine they're scrambling to rectify this. They may be going to announce something at NAB so they don't want to spoil all...

Disregard this message. Gamma is correct. Google Chrome doesn't do a TV to PC levels conversion.

My only comment would be to encode the file again as a level 4.1 to increase compatibility with...

They do a straight conversion for every type of source material. You as a human can look at something and say "eww thats ugly" and attempt a different method for RGB to YUV conversion.

PPro/AE...

Blurring knocks down those details and gives you a haze filter like effect. If you're going for that effect, it will help a bit, but actually de-noising those channels individually removes those...

If you're trying to get a high quality export out to YouTube, I find that Red footage tends to have a LOT of detail, which may not hold up to the really poor 4-5 MegaBits per second they will crunch...

You'll want to make sure you're not doing a bilnear scale. Lancos4 method is a very sharp downscaling method if you want sharp footage.

I wouldn't trust Vimeo or Youtube to do any downscaling for...

We put one of these on each of our workstations:

This way you can cycle client drives as quickly as you need to without having to...

Gabe,

Banding will still occur when it goes from a 4:4:4 to a 4:2:0 subsampling unless you have noise or dithering in your gradient areas. The encoder can't make your chroma suddenly not band...

banding happens when you have a gradient in a low noise area. A properly exposed sky with a vingnette applied is a recipie for banding.

The only way to fix it is to add noise, or a dithering...

I've found the best results come from manipulating individual video components before sending it to the compressor. I personally scrub the cB and cR channels clean of any noise and smooth them out...

You guys can argue over your tools, but I think your missing the point. I will always pick the tool that lets me go home at 5:00 to see my family.

It looks like someone took the trailer that is online and ran it through twixtor to 48FPS. It will look poor because it's not the actual data recroded, just interpolated like TV sets do today.
...

Probably not. They have their own competing format now .red files for the RedRay.

I thought the UHDTV was Rec.2020 color space, better than XYZ

I'm glad that there is a competitor for DCP, and the fact that it's actually affordable means that indies can get in on the pie.

However I'm concerned about quality. while 12-BPC YUV 4:2:2 Will...

Just because one encoder doesn't support creating 12 bit doesn't mean that the format cannot support it.

The High 4:4:4 Profile can support up to 14 BPC color.

h.264 supports frame sizes up to...

It would appear that XAVC is just High 444 h.264 profile in an MXF container. I would have to take a look at an actual file to confirm though. Premiere Pro supports this TODAY.
...

You can get acceptable results by finding a monitor that can display 99% sRGB, and then make sure you calibrate it with a good colorimeter. That will at least get you pretty close to sRGB and...

My compression chain is pretty complicated as I'm usually outputting files for paying clients, but without revealing the secret recipe I do this:

1) Convert to YUV 4:2:0 video
2) Scrub the cB and...

I would recommend either DPX or OpenEXR as well. There are so many problems with Quicktime files outside of an Apple workflow. The DPX and EXR will be supported for a longer time than Quicktime,...

When we send quicktime files to our audio team, we have to send a 2 pop tone file seperately as well to line up with the video. They've found that the audio linup in Quicktime files is not the same...
