Okay. Tthanks for the info.

I was wondering if anyone could give me some information on starting a production company. I want to start one, but I don't have any idea where to start, and exactly what is involved.

I have a Quicktime .mov file on my computer of a short film that I did a year ago that is very high picture quality, but for some reason it won't transcode when I try to put it on DVD. I've had trouble converting it to an .avi file while retaining the picture quality. What would be the best way...

Where would be the easiest way to clear a whole project from your computer? Is there some place within the program I could do this, or do I have to go through all the computer files and delete all the files involved with the project? Thanks.

I completed editing a short video project on Adobe Premiere Pro, and would like to put it on DVD, but am having trouble. I tried using the option in Premiere Pro to export to DVD, but got an error in the middle of the burning process. I then tried exporting the project as an .avi file and...

Dah! One more question: Can you import a Quicktime movie file (.mov) into your .avi sequence in Premiere Pro? And if so, are there any problems with doing so?

Heh, I got it. I just had to render it. Thank you for the help.

Yeah. It's clouds moving across the sky.

Thanks for the reply. I'm almost positive that the jumping is due to the playing of the clip lagging, because the jumps occur at different times when I play it. So, I'm wondering if this will stop once I export the finished project or not.

I'm having a little trouble when speeding up the clip. I'm speeding it up a lot (3200%), and when I play it back, it's all jumpy, even though it was completely steady at a normal speed. Will this "jumpiness" carry over when I finally export the finished video, or is it just a factor of the...

I was going to buy some professional quality DV tape, but noticed there was also "Master Grade" professional quality available (which, of course, is more expensive). Would the Master Grade tape be worth the extra $1.80/tape, or might I as well stick to the regular PQ tape?

Thanks for the response. I'm doing a short that is partly set in a city apartment. These scenes will have no sound except for the ambient room tone, so I want it to be pretty solid. So, I'd like the room tone along with some background street noises. Would it be best to just record the silent...

Thanks for the reply. I've tried to make sites in the past, but never with my own domain name. The way I've tried designing it before hasn't given me enough freedom, but at the same time, I wouldn't really be comfortable with designing an entire site, as I haven't had much experience with web...

If I want to set up a website (with my own domain name) to post my videos to be available for download, but I barely have any money to spend on it, what would be the best way to go about doing this?

Cool, thanks.

If I want to shoot a video in black and white, should I do this in post, or in-camera? Or, doesn't it matter either way?

Another question...If my computer has no FireWire port, can I import from my camera to my computer via an S-video cable? Thanks for the responses.

If I have a 250GB internal hard drive, I wouldn't need an external hard drive, would I? For a short video that is.

What's the best way to get room tone? Is it just as basic as recording a quiet room? Could I use a shotgun mic for this, or would it be better to use the in-camera mic? Or is there somewhere I can download some room tone if I can't get the type of sound I want?

Hey, I just joined, and wanted to introduce myself. My name is John Jaquish (as you can see), and I'm a sophomore film student at the University of Pittsburgh. Right now I'm working on a number of short videos for a class, as well as a sitcom for the school TV station. I'm looking forward to...
