Here goes, first post on here. I've posted this over at DVXUSER in the Voltaic HD thread, along with some problems I've encountered with 720p 50 .mts files on the Mac.
This request is probably more for advanced users, but might be of interest to others too.
"I'd like to make a couple of suggestions too, that I think would make this, combined with Flamingo HD, very useable ( at least for Mac users ).
In Voltaic at the moment, there is no way of changing the export settings of each clip, without going into preferences, which is a global action. If export settings could be changed on a per clip or per batch basis, then it might speed up workflow. For example, say I have a batch of clips to encode with a mixture of 1080 25, 720 50 and 720 50 that I wanted as slow mo. Currently I would have to import only the clips at this stage that I wanted for each export setting, finish this session and then reset preferences to start the next batch. Obviously the same would be true for US/Japanese frame rates.
Also, looking at the details on Flamingo HD, I can't see a method for tagging clips with take notes, reel, keywords etc., which could then form part of a searchable library. This feature, coupled with Voltaic using export settings, could make the duo a really good alternative to FCP/FCE log and transfer, with a much more versatile library management system for camera originals.
