Apple Final Cut Pro Forum
basic metadata-searching over ethernet possible?
I want to log some generic clips I use over and over again, but some are 10 mins long, some are 10 seconds, so file name will not do. I would like to be able to search two macpros over a gigabit ethernet to find mov files which contain the descriptive fields I have entered.

Motion Graphics - How Do I? Forum
People made of water/particle effect
What im looking for is a way to make it look like the people are made of a liquid (water). Is this possible with AE? Or should I start thinking in the direction of Maya/3DS?

AJA Kona Forum
Kona 3 ProRes HQ - Progressive/Interlaced at 1080 - 29.97?
I'm shooting with a Sony F900 at 29.97 PSF (Progressive) I want to cut using Apple ProRes HQ which only has a 1080i option for 29.97. Do I have to move to something other than ProRes to get progressive capture/editing in 1080/29.97PSF?

Sony CineAlta - XDCAM Forum
Question for EX1 owners
I transferred all my images, video from the EX1 straight off the camera using XD CAM Transfer... Not a problem, until I wanted to put them back on the camera a few months later... It will recognize the 'folder' as a hard drive would, but it will not play the videos.
