Standard vs. HD Pro Tools for post
hi all,
at my work (which I just left) I have been using HD version. Now I want to work at home some general editing for post. I do not need surround at this point etc... As far as I know, timecode ruler is now part of non HD software as well, I can import OMFs and stuff. My main concern, as I see it now, is video manipulation and I can not find info on whether is possible to cut (I know its only one track possible) that one track. Sometimes we receive instruction to cut from certain frame to certain frame or to insert some time, where I can just copy few frames to fill needed timeline... Is this possible in non HD?? Any users that are doing post here on non HD? Anyone care to share experiences and workflow? Unfortunately I am at the tight budget at the moment and I can not go to HD if it is not absolutely necessary... Also, I like to know which Blackmagic interface is the least costly, the cheapest one that will allow me to monitor video window on its own screen fullscreen (true fullscreen , not fit the screen option)? Is it DeckLink Mini Monitor PCIe card? for 145USS? thank you! |

Re: Standard vs. HD Pro Tools for post
I've been using Standard for my freelance post work and haven't had any major issues I can't work around easily.
I haven't tried cutting the video track in Standard, but if I get any edits I'll just make a new video in QuickTime 7 Pro--it's easy enough to delete or add frames in the same way you're describing. You'll have to add a step because you'll be replacing and reimporting the vid, but at least you have a solution if Standard can't do the basic vid edits you need. Honestly, the thing I miss the most for my workflow is not having the cmd-/ shortcut available to clear automation in a flat line! |

Re: Standard vs. HD Pro Tools for post
I'll tell you what I like about HD that is not in standard
Surround bussing and panning (this is a big, really big deal for a majority of post work) A few "advanced automation modes", the most important to me is PREVIEW Scrub trim, one of my favorite ways to scrub audio. These days I am very reliant on it as a convenience and time saver. Back and play, another big time saver while mixing. http://www.avid.com/pro-tools/compare Cutting the video track is nice but not one of the things that I use often. Having more than one video track is very nice (sometimes REALLY NICE) but you can get the work done without either of them.

Yes, absolutely helps to have the TC. Good catch.
