Their main worry is that you don't actually know how to export your movie properly(which is valid, since some people don't).Kangashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306092145547452231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784279851937190132.post-57056728807504047982011-10-29T12:51:36.088-04:002011-10-29T12:51:36.088-04:00Ha!

Dude! <br />I'm totally going to stalk them.<br />You know, a Linux machine is a bit cheaper than a dual quad-core. But either way. Oh yeah. Lightworks.

I'd dearly love to say farewell to Mac but I have a big software and plug-in investment there. Final Cut Ex is a turnip, the hardware is extra money for fewer options and you can't trust them not to totally bugger things beyond use. So in my searching I've kept an eye on these guys...<br /><br />http://www.lightworksbeta.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=122&Itemid=263<br /><br />They have a Mac and Linux beta due for release in December, very interesting. As it is I'm looking at maybe a used Mac 8 core and a switch to Premiere. The corporate pig wrestling that is keeping this stuff from being easy is getting very tired.Lindsay Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13461043718147845594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784279851937190132.post-46676419978152366052011-10-29T10:37:11.893-04:002011-10-29T10:37:11.893-04:00Well firstly: congratulations on getting your dist...Well firstly: congratulations on getting your distributor to accept a hard drive!<br />And secondwise: yeah, I had a distributor insist on "uncompressed". And I ignored him and gave him ProRes422. I think what they mean by "uncompressed" is no Cinepak. <br />But what do I know? Distributors confuse me.<br />On PC's there's this really interesting legacy codec and I TOTALLY FORGET THE NAME OF IT. And I built Solar Vengeance out of it. It looked pretty good. <br />Maybe one day we'll be delivering in .mts format. Although that is a file format I simply do not understand at a fundamental level.<br />It would be lovely to have an open-source universal standard. Cross-platform too. Hell, while I'm being like this I'd like to do all my work on Linux...Andrew Bellwarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05718623679244389126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784279851937190132.post-10173630653086113112011-10-29T01:14:35.552-04:002011-10-29T01:14:35.552-04:00My distributor wanted an uncompressed .avi, which ...My distributor wanted an uncompressed .avi, which I delivered.
