Andy thanks for the tutorial. I Would like to know what system you were using. I edit a weekly public access show that is shoot with 5 (JVC GY-HM100) cameras, although some times we use as many as eight (the other 3 are Sony EX1, but usually 5) and I will be updating my system this week. I had been planning on a new MacPro, but am now considering a top of the line iMac with a SSD Drive and 32mb of ram and a Promise Pegasus 6 disk Thunderbolt drive. Now that you have worked on 13 stream I am hoping you can shed some light on this decision.

Well Keith, the tutorial video was recorded on my MacBook Pro with the footage playing off the system drive. As you can see in the video, it pretty much choked on 13 HD clips in their native formats, but in proxy, I was able to play them fine.

I had a similar experience when practicing the tutorial on my Mac Pro which is a 8 core Xeon 2.26ghz with 24gb RAM. The issue is one of hard drive speed for full rez clips or clips being played in their native formats. I would suspect that a thunderbolt RAID would fare much better under similar circumstances than just a little 1TB SATA drive.

Sorry Kevin. I was speaking to someone named Keith earlier today and juxtaposed his name for yours.

Andy -

Thanks for the tutorial, it was very thorough and detailed. I'm looking forward to part 2.

At the risk of seeming ungrateful I know it's X but you are allowed to use the word "tracks" - calling them "rails" was really pretty silly.

Sorry if I'm being a dick, I did appreciate the tutorial, I found it very helpful.

LOL. I thought that word was forever abandoned. ;)

Also, I hope you saw part two as well. I posted them both at the same time. I didn't want you to think that it was coming out down the road.

In this tutorial, David shares a simple workflow he uses to prepare finished video files for non-broadcast delivery. Using these tools and settings, he's able to create master files that look better than their edited source, and encoded files that are virtually indistinguishable from their masters.
