Hi,

I'm working on a Quantel eQ and on AE using HD dpx 10bit log files for a feature film. I'm used to AE because I've been using it for a few years now, and because it's quite limited for compositing/color correction i tryed out DF5.

DF5 seems to be a lot more powerful than AE, but the speed using the inferface/tools etc is a lot slower than AE, like Combustion is slower than AE.
Is it normal as it is a more highend tool ?

I'm using an AMD 64 3000+ / 2GB ram / 2x74gb SATA raptor RAID0 / Radeon 9600.
A tool like AE works great on it. Even to do a ram preview of a raw plate in DF it's not very fast.

By the way is it possible to use my blackmagic decklink to monitor my work ? I saw nowhere a preference to specify the use of a preview monitor.

Thanks for your answers.

(and sorry for my poor english)

I have a similar system an the interface is fairly fast. But I converted my radeon 9600 to FireGL T2 using rivaturner. You could try it because it has to do with openGL settings of your video card.
