this is a young woman, not a young girl, Robert.

it's backwards. It's 1:5 (syrup:water)

that answers literally nothing. that's a codec. great. we use prores when we work in fcp 7 now. what does that have to do with literally anything I just mentioned?
what does that do to export AAFs or OMFs for a protools session? Or an EDL for turnovers? Can you even put feet and frames on burn-in without using a third…

sorry for terrible grammar/caps. using phone

what miracle system do you use for turning over from FCPX? How do you share sequences and projects to work in a team? Do a pro color correct from your offline? keep track of reels, etc?

to doho1234 who I apparently still can't reply to, on Apple fanboys saying "most Hollywood films are edited on Final Cut Pro" :

I can tell you with literally no hesitation that most Hollywood movies are absolutely not edited on FCP. Projects that are are the exception to the rule. We did The Place Beyond the Pines on final cut and even though it wasn't a "major" almost everybody was shocked.
Avid is the standard by leaps and bounds, and…

seen a couple substations (I believe) like this in MD. another one I've seen in westchester (NY)... didn't know it was a rare thing, although I've always found it interesting as well. like disguising cell phone towers as trees.

If RED could output legit offline files as well as the raw like the Alexa does, it would absolutely be more widely used— no question.
The "wrappers" it includes are totally useless for the edit room, and all R3D media needs to be transcoded to work with, which is a joke when dealing with a fully digital workflow. It's…

no way to reply to others' comments, but as an Assistant Editor/Editor who has been working with RED footage since 2009 I can absolutely attest for DeeJayQueue's comments. The proprietary workflow is ridiculous. Dealing with R3D media and having to transcode everything using the RedRocket for the offline is a joke,…

yeah, the key is optional but in addition to that, generally each DCP pack is locked to a specific system/server so it can't be played/opened anywhere else. I know if you try to open the dcp on another system it will put it into lockdown and then you're SOL.

Roland, really I said that just to nitpick, but to elaborate on why (and give an overly lengthy response while I wait for a render to finish)...
studios/distributors will not distro via consumer grade kit (Western Digital MyBook hard drives or the like). As long as it requires physical media (read: before there is an…

just because now it will cost only $100 to provide a digital copy to a theater (which is still a huge under-estimate) doesn't mean that's what it costs the theater to procure a copy. That's just the (again, incredibly underestimated) cost of prep & ship.

Yes. You're right. However, your math is based on the cost to the theaters. Unless you're suggesting that studios purchase and provide the upgraded projectors to the theaters it doesn't make any sense.

you're misunderstanding. the cost of the movie to the theater isn't $2,000. The cost of the print and shipping to Paramount is $2,000.

... technically, we don't edit on film either way. the cutting room floor is already just 1's and 0's.

No Dutch Allowed.

I think the underlying issue was that I didn't understand the point of your story. I think you just wanted to tell the world you are "a real go-getter" who wakes up at 6am to go on hikes and you have a poor friend who has a problem with punctuality.

I think the more poignant (and succinct) comment would be that you…

i have literally no idea what this comment is trying to say. was this a workday? are you saying that people with expensive cars leave late for 6am jobs? or that people with expensive cars go to work early as opposed to others? that many people with expensive cars drive instead of hike at 6:30am? or that people…
