This is a petition to Avid to let us know when we can expect support for HDV1 (JVC's 720p version) and DVCPRO 720p at 25 or 50 fps.  Avid - some of us in Europe have businesses based around your products and we also have clients that need post solutions NOW.  There is support for 30/60fps so I'm sure it's not impossible.  You promised 'within weeks' in September 2005.  Where is it?  We need information.

This subject has been covered in many posts but I thought it would be a good idea to send a loud and clear message to Avid that we would like some information at the very least.  If you're another disgruntled customer in PAL land (or, indeed, elsewhere) please post below.

Thanks

It'd also be nice to see 720 24p HDV capture/edit support for the JVC HD100, since it was posted on this very forum more than once that we'd see support for it by 1st Q. 2006.  Now we're supposed to be looking forward to the 5.5 release in 2nd Q. 2006, which still won't support the one mode of the HD-100 that almost all of its North American users bought it for. 

Nice.

Bump

here's my vote...

Sorry Filmguy, I should have mentioned 24p as well.  In fact, most HD100 owners must be really upset by now.  Apple haven't been quick either - but at least there are decent work-arounds for FCP and - most importantly - Apple have bothered to communicate with their customers on the issue, which puts Avid to shame when you consider that most Avid customers are paying a lot more for their kit.

Please sign up everyone and keep this thread alive.

Yes in full sooth

Well, thank God for small mercies! At least someone is listening.  HOWEVER: I don't think anyone doubted that full 720p support would come eventually so it's not a huge surprise or relief that it's in the pipeline.  That there is no date to report strongly suggests that there is nothing imminent, which I find deeply disappointing.  If there was a viable alternative system then I'd be off.  In fact, if Apple comes out with full support any time soon and Avid is still not committing then we'll be replacing our systems fast.  In the meantime, we're off to learn FCP anyway!

Thanks for adding your names to this thread and I really hope we'll be celebrating some good news soon.

I'd just like to add my comments - We now run 5 Xpress Pro HDs, 3 Media Composers, 1 Media Composer Adrenaline HD in New Zealand. The deafening silence from Avid on this subject is really disappointing, making non-sense of the "edit anything that comes in the door" mantra. Avid should immediately reduce the price of all their "HD" products in the PAL marketplace, or give us a date for the implentation of PAL 720p flavours. Otherwise, like many others we'll be talking to Apple......

GPR:

I Avid should immediately reduce the price of all their "HD" products in the PAL marketplace, or give us a date for the implentation of PAL 720p flavours. .

Or atleast give us the same price as in the US market.

By the way, neither Apple support 720pPAL. Only Canopus has publiced a release date for 720pPAL and that will be next mouth.

and another one

Funny - I started this thread MONTHS ago and it's still very relevant!

Keep it coming now guys!

Please make it possible for us in Pal world to us DVCProHD 720p/25/50
Don´t be so NTSC arrogant

Make 720p/25/50-Dream come true...

Vote.

I personally need 720p 25 and 720p 24.
