Thanks! stay tuned for the following four articles!
1. We don't have any xdcams here so I cannot say one way or another, personally. P2 we had lots of, and so far I've had no luck getting them imported via Linux at all. Happily the workflow has switched over to Canons and Nikons recording straight to SD cards in AVCHD, which is a direct import, and in fact an easier import in Kdenlive than on the Apple boxen.
2. I don't know that Kdenlive can (or cannot) integrate with Avid Airspeed or anything like that, and I've never used the Grass Valley one. We were a Final Cut shop and I can tell you that Kdenlive couldn't integrate with FC Server (but then, Final Cut couldn't even integrate with FC Server so...) but that's the only thing I've really tried on. I doubt Avid would be open enough to let Kdenlive integrate easily...but Grass Velley, who knows?
