Originele artikel CLICKBy Lawrence Jordan After many years of working on the Avid Media Composer, and several years of working professionally in Final Cut Pro, I’ve come to the conclusion that the Media Composer is the digital equivalent of the Moviola, the primary tool of professional editors for generations.

Grote broadcasters als RTL en SBS (alsmede de publieke omroepen) zijn inmiddels volledig digitaal. Voor het verfijnen van de workflow willen zij ook digitaal worden aangeleverd. Dit gaat in een D10/30 of een D10/50 MXF file.Het maken van een dergelijke file binnen Avid gaat niet vanzelf. Hier is een werkwijze voor nodig die er voor zorgt dat er een D10-30 OP1a file uitkomt. Bij deze file hoort een XML compliant bestand met de juiste inhoud van hetaangeboden digitale materiaal. Ook hiervoor is een applicatie ontwikkeld. De werkwijze is een goedgekeurde procedure en uitgebreid getest en gebruikt bij de diverse afnemers. Wij hebben hiervoor een werkwijze ontwikkeld die eenvoudig is in te passen in 99% van alle Avid omgevingen. wij vertellen u graag meer over de hoe en wat aangaande D10-30 OP1a files.

Look at all the plasterers, welders, carpenters, model makers and other practical artisans who got their hands dirty on the set of the new Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. And then there’s 35mm film. Lots of it. Spielberg, as you may know, edits his movies at Amblin in LA on a KEM, with a longtime collaborator, editor Michael Kahn, cutting workprint. Stunts? Harrison Ford, despite hitting retirement age, is known for doing his own on camera. Digital doubles? Maybe, if a bad guy has to get incinerated, but even then they try to stick with the real actor as long as possible. http://www.avidreseller.nl/index.php?categoryid=8&p2_articleid=90 Menno News Tue, 24 Jun 2008 22:02:21 +0100 EDITING: \'SEX AND THE CITY\' Michael Berenbaum, de editor die al lange tijd deze succesvolle serie monteren mag heeft ook de film versie mogen doen.

These four beloved characters, who became pop-culture icons during the series\' six-year run on HBO, will be a welcome sight for millions of ardent fans when Sex and the City: The Movie hits theaters this May. http://www.avidreseller.nl/index.php?categoryid=8&p2_articleid=89 Menno News Tue, 24 Jun 2008 21:53:03 +0100 De nieuwe releases.. hoe vallen ze? We zijn ondertussen al weer een aantal dagen verder na de introductie van de nieuwe versies Avid.

The Springwatch workflow ­part of a production village set up on location at Pensthorpe Nature Reserve near Fakenham in Norfolk - is built around an Avid Unity shared storage system with 8Tb storage with full mirroring, and an Avid Interplay production asset management system. Editing is handled using four Media Composer Adrenaline suites and a laptop running Media Composer software. Two Avid AirSpeed systems handle ingest from the network of hidden cameras and the studio cameras, and two further AirSpeed systems are used for transmission. http://www.avidreseller.nl/index.php?categoryid=14&p2_articleid=87 Menno Archief Tue, 10 Jun 2008 11:28:54 +0100 Nieuwe Releases Avid editors en andere producten.

Frank is al jaren een die hard gebruiker van Avid. Heeft ook heel veel andere dingen gedaan maar Avid was bijna altijd wel aanwezig. Afgelopen NAB hebben we met een aantal anderen een gezellige avond gehad. Reden dat ik de blog post is dat Frank op de NAB vertelde dat hij in dienst is gekomen bij Avid. Frank als actief member in de community weet als geen ander wat de gebruiker graag wil. Met het aantrekken van iemand als hij geeft Avid een heel duidelijk signaal dat ze werken aan een toekomst met, voor en door de eindgebruikers.Lees de blog en denk er het jouwe van http://www.avidreseller.nl/index.php?categoryid=14&p2_articleid=83 Menno Archief Thu, 29 May 2008 22:34:51 +0100 Monitor Gang In the Avid Audio Mixer tool there are gang adjustments that allow you to group adjustments across tracks and have two or more sliders move at the same time.

Het is een gevalletje "neem alles wat je weet ... en draai het om..." (ook een heel leuk boekje trouwens!). Blog met dank aan http://fearfulinvestor.typepad.com .  Wall Street analysts have given up on Avid Technology (4 neutral ratings, 3 sells, including two Focus Sells!).

(Nasdaq: AVID) today announced the next-generation of its high-performance storage disk arrays – Avid® VideoRAID® ST and Avid VideoRAID SR solutions – which combine real-time performance, cost-effective SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) drive technology, and the security of fail-safe data protection in the event of a disk drive failure. Unlike other RAID solutions that may be unusable during a drive rebuild, Avid VideoRAID solutions help customers keep up with the fast pace of digital content creation by maintaining full performance and data protection, while rebuilding the drives in the background. Customers will also be able to take advantage of real-time playback of up to two streams of uncompressed HD on as few as eight Avid VideoRAID drives. Additionally, Avid is offering all new VideoRAID ST and SR customers a three year warranty on drive mechanisms and enclosures, providing advanced exchange of replacements parts at no additional cost. “This is just another example of how Avid continues to drive high-quality products to market that offer great performance and value to our customers,” said Kirk Arnold, executive vice president and general manager of Avid Video. “By offering real-time parity with these new solutions, Avid is able to help eliminate the headaches and loss of valuable hours and money associated with downtime. This news, coupled with the new editing lineup we announced last month, is just another example of how Avid is continuing to innovate and deliver on its New Thinking.” Available in a 5-drive tower (ST) or a 16-drive rack mount (SR) configuration, Avid VideoRAID ST/SR disk arrays support a wide range of Avid editing systems, including the recently announced Media Composer®, Symphony™ Nitris® and NewsCutter® family of products, as well as third-party applications, via an industry-standard SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interconnect. The products provide the protection of parity through the use of RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) which can handle multiple streams of uncompressed SD and HD media with ease and offer a capacity ranging from 2.5TB to 16TB per editing system. New Features of Avid VideoRAID ST/SR Avid’s new VideoRAID ST/SR storage configurations offer a number of new features and benefits to customers, including: Fail-safe protection of content – Real-time parity RAID goes beyond conventional RAID protection by enabling systems to continue to operate at full performance with no data loss. Customers will now be able to complete any work in progress during drive failures, without loss of media and without requiring immediate drive replacement.

With Avid VideoRAID, a disk drive failure is not a catastrophic event. The system will continue to operate without data loss and at full performance should a drive fail within the unit. This enables the completion of work in progress without requiring immediate drive replacement. Feature Full performance during drive rebuild Benefit If an Avid VideoRAID drive failure does occur, simply swap out the bad drive module and the array will automatically begin a background reconstruction. Costly downtime is eliminated since the system is fully functional (at full performance) during the rebuild process. Once the rebuild is completed, Avid VideoRAID resumes full content protection. A RAID 5 solution, in contrast, may be completely unusable during a drive rebuild, resulting in unproductive downtime. Feature High bandwidth and innovative Multi-Stream Technology (MST) Benefit Interface rates of up to 320 MB/s per channel (via Ultra320 SCSI) ensure that Avid VideoRAID arrays meet the performance requirements of film, video, and broadcast production. The exclusive MST functionality uses a sophisticated stream-handling algorithm that works with the system\'s on-board RAID controller(s) to support the simultaneous real-time playback of multiple streams of uncompressed SD and HD video. See the Avid Local Storage Drive Striping Tables on the Avid Knowledge Base for Avid VideoRAID RTR320/RTR320X configuration and stream count details. Feature Configuration flexibility Benefit With a choice of drive capacity, 5- or 10-drive array models, and up to four RTR320/FCR2 or two RTR320X/FCR2X arrays supported per CPU, customers can configure their system to meet their unique needs. Supported raw capacities range from 1.25 TB (1.0 TB usable) to 10 TB (8 TB usable). Feature Redundant power supplies (RTR320X/FCR2X models) Benefit Robust, load-sharing power supplies offer added protection and reduce the stress on an individual supply. The array can operate without interruption on only one power supply, if required. Removable for easy service. Feature Removable controllers, drives, and power supplies Benefit Field-replaceable components can be easily removed, making service a snap and maximizing uptime. Quick job changes can be made by simply swapping drive modules. Feature Optimized for use with Avid editing systems and software (RTR320/RTR320X) Benefit The Avid VideoRAID RTR320/RTR320X has been rigorously tested with Avid editing systems and software for guaranteed configuration support. Optimized performance and reliability maximizes productive time in the field. The FCR2/FCR2X is supported for various applications. Feature Outstanding warranty policy Benefit A three-year warranty on the drive mechanisms and the enclosure offer added security. To minimize downtime, during the warranty period replacements parts are supplied in advance and at no additional cost (current Avid Support contract required for advance replacement). http://www.avidreseller.nl/index.php?categoryid=46&p2_articleid=52 Menno Features Sun, 04 May 2008 11:27:10 +0100 Avid VideoRAID Specifications Technical Specifications Interface RTR320: Ultra320 LVD SCSI - 68-pin VHDCI connectionRTR320X: Dual channel Ultra320 LVD SCSI - 68-pin VHDCI connectionFCR2: 2-Gb Fibre Channel connectionFCR2X: Dual channel 2-Gb Fibre Channel connection For the RTR320/RTR320X, the Avid-qualified ATTO UL4D, ATTO UL5D, or on-board Ultra320 SCSI on Avid-qualified CPUs is required.

Learn more about Pro Tools interoperability with Avid systems in this white paper. Deliver Masters in AVC-Intra FormatEasily integrate into the popular Panasonic AVC-Intra pipeline and deliver final masters in AVC-Intra (P2) format for further handling and playout. With new AVC-Intra encoding, you can work with any P2 project in its original native format, from acquisition to delivery, for the quickest project turnarounds.

Editing Done Right — Storytelling on the Cutting EdgeWith the industry’s most powerful, accurate, and flexible editing tools around, you can cut smarter and faster than ever. Trim on the fly with your mouse or keyboard, use dual-rolling trim, or nudge frame-by-frame. Slip and slide clips quickly with comprehensive 2-, 4-, or 6-frame display modes. And customize the interface, shortcuts, and keyboard layout to maximize your speed and comfort. Scripted Editing Made EasyTake the work out of editing movies, television shows, and other script- and transcript-based projects, such as documentaries and reality TV. The unique ScriptSync feature automatically syncs all relevant clips to your script phonetically, so you can find the best takes fast. Line up dailies to the script in minutes — not hours — giving you more time to refine the story instead of digging through bins. Mix and Match MediaAdd and edit practically any combination of PAL, NTSC, SD, and HD formats in real time — regardless of the resolution or frame rate — in the same timeline, without rendering or transcoding. Whether you’re editing online or offline, you can mix and match media of different formats, codecs, resolutions, and frame rates, and enjoy real-time broadcast-quality playback. Management You Can Count OnWhether you work alone or as a team, never worry about losing source material and rendered files with the most reliable and robust media management available keeping track of all project assets and metadata for you. Create custom metadata fields to track media the way you want. And easily search, sift, and sort to find information beyond the scope of OS-level searches. Real-Time HD EditingEdit HD material in real time, and in optimal mastering picture quality, using Avid DNxHD encoding. Whether your HD workflow is online or offline, you can maximize your productivity, reduce storage requirements, and maintain the highest image quality — even over multiple generations — without additional hardware.Tapeless Becomes WaitlessExperience the fastest tapeless workflows in the industry with AMA (Avid Media Access). Directly access XDCAM HD/EX, P2/AVC-Intra, and GFCAM media and metadata on a connected disc/card or device without having to transcode, import, or rewrap files. And download support for additional formats as they become available. Work Natively with SD and HD CodecsStart editing footage right away, with native support for a wide range of SD and HD codecs, including DV, HDV, XDCAM HD/EX, DVCPRO HD, AVC-Intra, and GFCAM. No need to transcode, even when mixing codecs in the same timeline. Total ConformStreamline your offline/online workflow, and get a seamless path to finish and master projects, with complete integration between Media Composer and Avid Symphony and DS systems. Directly share offline projects and media for finishing, with all media clips, edits, and effects directly available, so you can start the online without delay. Work with RED, Stereoscopic, and Other Single-Frame FilesWith MetaFuze*, you can quickly merge RED (R3D), DPX, TIFF, QuickTime, or even stereoscopic 3D files from film scanning or CGI systems into a single native Avid DNxHD or uncompressed media clip for editing. You can even display and edit 3D material offline — without conforming — using industry-first stereoscopic editing tools and workflows. Sync with Pro Tools EditorsMake the audio post workflow easier by making projects directly accessible to Pro Tools audio editors through Video Satellite. No need to render effects, transcode video, or copy files for the audio team, as they can simply tap into any Media Composer system to open and play Avid HD and SD sequences (including DNxHD) in high quality, in full resolution, and in sync with their sessions. Film FocusedFor film, you have the industry\'s most powerful and accurate film workflow in your hands with the award-winning Avid Film Composer toolset. Save time with automatic audio and video syncing and seamless tracking of timecode, Keykode, and other metadata. Timecode and Subtitling EaseWith the Timecode Generator, you can create onscreen timecode displays in real time to speed up any online or audio post workflow. And with the SubCap Generator, you can easily create open captions and subtitles, and import and export in Avid DS and standard EBU N19 subtitle formats. Ready For DeliveryWhether you need to output your project for the web, electronic delivery, or back into the tapeless pipeline, you have the tools you need to quickly deliver your work in the absolute highest quality. Optimize your video for the web, and burn projects to DVD and CD. If you’re using a Windows-based system, you can also author DVDs, Blu-ray Discs, and fast-turnaround approval DVDs (use native authoring tools on a Mac). Smoother BWF WorkflowsEase the post audio workflow when exporting timeline audio tracks as BWF (Broadcast WAV) files. Just insert the sequence timecode based on your project type as you’re exporting the tracks to create a fast and easy sync reference for downstream processes that don’t support OMF or AAF, such as slave playback devices. * MetaFuze works with Windows-based computers, including Windows XP and Vista, Macs running Windows through Boot Camp or other emulation.Complete Color CorrectionSave time and maintain the highest quality production with the fully integrated and flexible 10-bit color correction toolset. Quickly and accurately match colors from shot to shot using NaturalMatch. Get fine control over shots with animatable color correction, or dive into the large palette of easy-to-use tools to manually refine settings or get creative with the color. FluidMotion
and FluidFilm EffectsCreate incredibly smooth slow-motion effects and “fit-to-fill” video using Avid\'s patented FluidMotion pixel morphing technology. And get the look of progressive film with interlaced video material using the exclusive FluidFilm feature. SpectraMatte Chroma Key EffectCreate a high-quality key, even with compressed HD codec material. With SpectraMatte, you can eliminate all guesswork, correct common keying issues, and get perfect keys using the interactive interface. Preview your keys in real time and in online quality with 16-bit SpectraGraph technology. FluidStabilizer Tracking EngineEasily stabilize shots that contain even the most jittery camera movements. FluidStabilizer works in conjunction with SteadyGlide and Stabilize to deliver extremely precise image stabilization, enabling you to filter out unwanted motion while retaining any underlying motion you do want, such as a camera pan. Get More Effects with Plug-insGet the look and effects you want through AVX and AVX2 plug-ins, which you can install and use right from your editing interface. Build up your effects library by choosing from tons of third-party AVX plug-ins available. Powerful Effects PerformanceWith Avid’s advanced effect acceleration — architecture that closely ties multi-core CPU processing, GPU (Graphics Processor Unit), and PCI Express I/O hardware into a single high-performance pipeline — you get the best real-time effects performance around. Dazzle and Deliver with the Included Production SuiteCreate stunning visual effects and transitions. Design titles and graphics that animate across 2D or 3D spaces. Set the mood with music you generate and control. And deliver projects in the highest quality for the web or on DVD. With the included Production Suite, a powerful collection of popular third-party creative tools, you have plenty of options to get the look, sound, and quality you want.Share Media, Projects, and IdeasExperience the most collaborative workflow and get things done on time and on budget. Seamlessly integrate with Avid Unity media networks, and you and your team can access and play the same files and capture media to the same volume simultaneously, in real time. And because media bins aren’t linked to specific projects or users, you can open bins and access files from other projects — even when in use by others — without having to copy media. Share Projects for Audio PostCollaborating with Pro Tools audio editors, remixers, and sound designers is easy. Export audio from your video projects to Pro Tools for audio production, with all media and metadata intact. Or for the fastest workflow, add Video Satellite to have Pro Tools editors sync directly with Media Composer projects, eliminating having to render, transcode, or copy files. Take Your Settings with YouForget about tweaking settings or re-orienting your workspace each time you move from one Avid system to another. Take all of your settings with you to any project through your own user profile - even when moving from an offline workstation to an online Avid Symphony finishing system. All shortcuts, keyboard, and screen customization are accessible, so you’ll be up and running in no time. Raise the Bar with InterplayWhen the stakes are high, bring collaboration to the highest level with Avid Interplay asset management systems. Instantly access media and secure files from unauthorized use. Always have the current production elements in play and synced through automated tracking. And with sophisticated multi-contributor asset management, multi-resolution workflows, and rules-based transcoding, you can put the flow in workflow for total facility-wide collaboration.      http://www.avidreseller.nl/index.php?categoryid=30&p2_articleid=32 Menno Features Sat, 03 May 2008 14:11:37 +0100 View RSS feed http://www.avidreseller.nl/index.php?categoryid=27&p2_articleid=31 Menno RSS feeds Sat, 03 May 2008 12:52:47 +0100 Omdat wij begrijpen dat alleen de aanschaf van apparatuur niet altijd voldoende is hebben wij een uitgebreid Trainingsaanbod tot onzebeschikking via ons dochter bedrijf 2 Point Zero (onderdel van MediaAssist)    2 Point Zero heeft een state of the art trainingsapparatuur tot zijn beschikking. 2 Point Zero traint al vele jaren (eerder onder naam MediaAssist) diverse mensen en doelgroepen.
