    PAL Encoding

    Man, I wish this site could ping you when there's a post... Sorry, What are your project settings and what are the specifics of the QT files (compression type, etc.) I'm not sure on the encoding question. I'll try to chase that one down.

    I'll be at DV Expo East...

    I'll be stationed in the Sony booth showing off CineForm's Aspect HD, a Premiere Pro companion software package that enables PPro to edit HDV very efficiently and fast. It also supports all the CineFrame modes in the Z1 and FX1 camcorders from Sony. Stop by and say "hi" if you happen to be...

    DV Expo...NY

    Hello, I'm not a mod in this forum, but I've been working with CineForm on HD editing software development and this week it will find me in the Sony booth demoing Aspect HD for Premiere Pro, which supports all the CineFrame modes in Sony's FX1 and Z1 HDV cameras. I've done some shooting with...

    Editing Canon XL2 24p

    It does true 24p in NTSC mode? ...and it isn't a pulldown? (I don't know much about Canon cameras so I'm asking.) I know the DVX100 had some issues early on with lists exported out of Premiere Pro because of the pulldown issue. I think FCP may have handled that better...but there are people...

    PlugIn-s

    We ALL want free plugins... As far as film-look type effects and PPro in general, I'm afraid it's highly unlikely, however.

    Highlighting Key Points?

    It sounds like you're good to go to me. Save out a freeze from FCP and you can cut out the foreground object, take the color out of the background...add an outline, whatever you want. Photoshop has to be the most critical tool for video production that can't load a video clip...

    Hellloooooooo....

    I'm sorry Santiago...I've completely missed your post until now. I suspect the PD-170 should work, you may have to manually assign the camera type in the capture window...device control. I'd simply pick PD-150 as the device and I suspect that PPro will see it. What is "Studio DV?" I'm...

    Trouble Capturing in Premiere

    Well...I usually start with the obvious, so don't be offended... The project settings are set for DV, with the proper framesize? ...also, you are positive you have the camera connected to the firewire port and not the USB port?

    How many years will a DVD last?

    I think that current "conventional" knowledge says around ten years... In my experience, it also depends on the heat the disc was exposed to while writing and if there are certain types of labels on them. My Windows laptop gets hot...very hot. It's a 3.2 desktop processor and it has 2 Gigs of...

    Question about Capturing DV that was filmed at 24p

    I answered your PM as well, but I suspect that the camera that shot the footage is needed to feed it into the system. The DVX-100 has a method for encoding that pulldown info and the NLEs that I've seen have a "project setting" or separate "mode" of some sort to handle it properly. I'd check...

    VHS decks with firewire

    I had no idea there were plain old VHS decks with FireWire...I know there are DVHS decks with FireWire... In my opinion, I'd find a reasonably good VHS deck and look for a converter box. Canopus and several others make analog to DV (and back) converter boxes that are also handy for viewing...

    burning dvd

    I do know that there are simply some burners that don't work properly with that direct-burn feature. If you can burn with other utilities, you may want to check the Adobe site as there are a couple of updates to handle various oddities with the encoding/burning portion of Ppro...

    burning dvd

    Can you post some configuration details? Also...did you change anything with your system around the time it stopped working? In the past when I've seen something like this, I've had to reinstall the burning software that came with the DVD drive (MyDVD or Veritas (whatever) and it must have...

    What do most film schools require what software?

    Ah yes...the "edit button"...are you sure it was there 20 minutes ago? :wink:

    What do most film schools require what software?

    "...with a grain of salt" was what I intended to say here.

    What do most film schools require what software?

    I suspect that various schools have various workflows. My only caution would be to take any school's assertion about what "the industry standard" is...that's a moving target. The days when it was all about one or two brands are gone. And just because one manufacturer still may have the most...

    Will Premiere Pro Edit HD?

    CineForm currently makes the best plugin for editing HD. HDV can be edited with CineForm's Aspect HD (PPro 1.5.1 is actually some licensed technology from CineForm) and Prospect HD is the full HD-SDI version. The codec is incredibly efficient and high quality. The film "Dust to Glory" was...

    Best Text to learn AE 5.5

    Curtis' book should be a good first read. Curtis is a very skilled guy with After Effects...and The Focal Easy Guide Series is one of my favorites... ...and not just because I wrote the Premiere Pro book in the series. :wink:

    Hyperthreading with dual 2.8 ghz Xeon CPUs

    Well, GuyGraphics is a pretty dependable source for this type of info...and I've heard this before, but I'm not sure why it needs to be turned off. I am not running any multi-processor Xeons at the moment, so I have no recent experience to draw on... Sorry, not helpful I know...
