yes that doesn't right. At the worse the settings may not match perfectly but the clip would still be yellow sliced. Are you using a 1440x1080 sequence for 1920x1080 material or the other way around? If anything isn't matched perfectly then your clips will be yellow sliced and if you have render yellow slices on you will end up rendering everything when it is plopped in the TL.

You say that it has to render even on an HD timeline? That doesn't sound right. What are you clip properties and what are your timeline properties?

Thanks

Did a little more experimenting with clips imported into Liquid. Rendering takes a little time when you drop it on even a hi-def timeline. And there's additional processing necessary to drop it into an NTSC SD timeline. I can see speed and workflow implications all over the place but it does work and doesn't seem to cause trouble. I have the Sony software open at the same time as Liquid without any issues.

How do others work? Looks to me like the best way is to complete a project on the High-definition timeline and then copy that to an NTSC SD timeline when finished to render only the stuff that will be in the finished show. Any thoughts?

Ray - those images are absolutely beautiful. I won't give the camera full credit, but it's obvious the EX1 is fantastic in low light!

Thanks

Here's some frame grabs from my first wedding shoot with the XDCAM EX. This camera is a beast!

Just shot clips with my new EX1. Used the export witrh Sony's software to convert to MXF and then imported into Liquid. Works just fine. The only problem I had was the software supplied with the camera on CD was version 1.0 and the MXF didn't work. I downloaded version and had no further problems.

I see that there will be an EX presentation by Sony at the DV Expo Wednesday, 3-4 PM. This is in Los Angeles. The Red One 4K will also make an appearance.

Sorry for the delay. I just shot footage from my kid's basketball game, so I'm going to try loading it in Liquid. By the way, the over/under cranking feature in this camera is incredible.

sverkalo:

Did you use the software that came with EX1?

It's a software for browsing the files.

I did install the software that came with the camera, but now I'll try it with the update that Lew posted. I'll post in a little bit (I gotta drive back home now).

LewS:
I have heard that Sony is using Liquid to test this camera.

Boing.

That was the software I was talking about and it's free to download for everyone.
