Oddly = enough we really haven't had a real need for one until now. So far I have been pointed towards: Smedge: http://www.uberware.net/smedge/ Rush: http://seriss.com/rush/ Deadline: http://www.thinkboxsoftware.com/deadline/ The ultimate goal and process our house is dealing with will be outputtin= g 2K-4K DPX sequences. I already know about making sure that all machines= involved being uniform software wise across the board. I am more curious= about real world experience with these setups. Looking for recommendatio= ns, pitfalls, etc... Right now I am setting up our Macs only. I might add the PC's later, but = would keep them isolated to prevent PC and MAC issues with variances. At the moment we have 7 macs available for this setup. I appreciate any i= nput, thanks. -- David Torno Technical Director http://www.ghosttownmedia.com O: 213.739.2290 C: 818.391.6060 ------------------------------------------------ http://aeioweyou.blogspot.com (vfx tutorials and AE scripts blog)
