News from the road?

Anyone here who made it to the Grass Valley Europe Summer Road Show in France or England? Please let us know what was going on :)

I happened to be in the UK and dropped into The Arsenal football club last week - I liked the new look interface - nodes are fixed -GOOD and I liked the new batch output which allows you to pick a section from the timeline as well as from sequences - really useful - except it does not include formats that use Procoder - everything appeared a bit more pro looking - dialogue boxes with better information etc.

As this is a dot release, I don't reckon there are too many extras - certainly no more keyframable tools and VST is still poor.

The overlay looked much better, my feeling was that version 5 will be a great improvement in terms of tools - and lets hope that the VST bridge is fixed or if this cannot be done, it may as well be removed!

Simple DVD menu & AC3 encoding is a big one :)

Sadly Holdan the UK distributors, sent out invitations 3 days before the event by which time I had already allocated the London date. Shame that this was not publicised before....Learning Curve????

DDave,
I had an email invite from Holdan about two weeks prior to the event and was all set to go to Manchester, but had a migraine and that leaves me helpless.

Something else I forgot - the realtime buffer is no longer limited to 96 frames - all depends on available RAM I guess.

This 'more than 96 frames buffer' sounds cool. Especially if they ever make Edius x64 or Vista compatible so we can use a bunch of RAM.

Thanks!

How many frames would you get with 4GB? I guess in 32 bit mode no more than 2GB.

[PaulTV]

One thing I didn't see was an audio waveform in the preview and programme overlay a la Premiere - now how useful would that be?

512 MB is the current max for the buffer size.
