[FCP-L] Re: OT: How did they do "digital effects" in the analouge era?

Page turn, bah!

As I recall: grab the frame you want to start the effect on into
paintbox or framestore.

Flip it over and do some colour effect on it - invert or green'ise etc.

DVE it to offscreen somewhere. Say, bottom right.

Program a move of that frame going across screen.

Match up a wipe which reveals it as it goes.

Line up 3-machine edit so that incoming shot is in the right place.

Use GPI to trigger the mixer of DVE or something...

AS THE EFFECT PROGRESSES.... the flipped frame moves into vision, with a
wipe progressively revealing it so it goes from little triangle in
corner to larger one as it passes through frame. Make sure the
underlying shot has a similar wipe which will take IT off screen
(without moving it) and which is hidden by the top layer, the inverted
page. Sometimes a little fuzzy edge on both wipes helps the illusion of
a turned image (rather than the static one which it really is).

Note: inverted page has diagonal wipe revealing it from top left to
bottom right - source page has diagonal wipe removing it and its wipe
goes from bottom right to top left. See?

And at 300, 400, 500, 600 per hour, who wants to rush?

(THAT'S what I see now-a-days, Junior Editors racing to complete
something which costs peanuts. If they had the kind of balls to work
methodically when the clock ticks over more than their wage every hour
or so...)

I'm running a dual-quad 2.26 with 12GB RAM and 4 internal drives. It's in my home office under the desk next to my legs. It puts out moderate heat, but nothing unusual. Fans hardly ever kick in. Less heat or noise than any G4 or G5. The two Apple displays seem to heat up the room more than the computer.

Re: [FCP-L] Fwd: New Processor, Hard Drive Options Available For Mac Pro and Xse

I am wondering if, in the Dual Quad-Core systems, Apple has a heat problem.

One huge issue I saw with the Quad-Core system was that one could not add as much RAM. I might have been tempted had Apple placed enough slots in there for 32GB of system RAM.

The single thing that I have noticed with Macs that will speed them up is copious amounts of system RAM. One thing I'm not happy about is that Intel-based Macs apparently do not have options for processor upgrades. I upgraded the processor in my old G4-400 (Sawtooth) and the computer was useful for a good 10 years.
