Francis,
My subject was unclear, or to be more exact
wrong!
What I wanted yesterday was to link files as tone
explained me, but I thought I was doing something wrong becasuse some were RT
and some not.
Right now I'm downloading the DPX from the
director friend, and I'll start trying
We'll start trying everything right now and post
tons and tons of stupid questions like:
Can I output 4:4:4 to a computer monitor through
the HD VGA output in Nitris?
Thanks,
Nacho

Hi
Nacho,
I
am responsible for the quality assurance of the conform features of DS. I'd
like to have more information on your workflow because I do not quite
understand your request.
1-
The subject line of your thread starts with "Conforming a DPX..." but you
only mention that you need "to link DPXs to Nitris". Do you really want to
conform a project offlined in another product into DS ?
2-
And re-link events to DPXs files instead of whatever video format you used
for offlining the project ?
3-
Or do you simply want to use the dpx files from the camera drive into ds
like any other image sequences?
If
you want to achieve #3 Tony's method is the best. The first and second are
only possible with EDLs or EDLs and ALEs so far.
4:4:4 realtime playback is achievable if these 3
conditions are met:
1-
Your DPX are on a realtime DS storage, not on the camera
drive.
2-
They are all "aligned". To align DPXs that aren't, use the FIXDPX.exe
application present in your DS 7.x program files folder.
3-
They are linked. Not captured.
Hope this will help. Please post if you are
successful.
