Requesting Direction…
I am working for a television video ministry. The end products I am trying to produce is a 60 minute video, suitable for television.
I am seeing what I believe is a resource issue on my PC. I have an XP 64 bit system with 16 GB RAM and 2 TB of Video RAID.
I am capturing 60 – 65 minute videos via a BlackMagic capture card, from a DVC-Pro tape. Once captured, these videos are .avi files in the 40 GB range.
I add them to a project, and subsequently a sequence. I then need to make edits to remove any flaws, and extraneous material that we don’t want to broadcast. These edits are covered by crowd shots. The crowd shots were captured separately, and the .avi containing them is imported into the project, and opened in the source monitor. I then drag 5 to 15 second clips onto the main sequence using inpoint and outpoints.
However, during this process I get bleed over between the main sequence, and the source monitor… so that the sequence shows up in source monitor.
Do I have a procedural problem with the way I’m working, or perhaps 16 GB RAM is not sufficient, given the size of the file’s I’m dealing with.
Is Adobe CS4 adequate for what I’m doing?
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Jerry, please break down your explanation of what are seeing/hearing in greater detail.
What I am understanding is – your cutting your main camera(s) for content and length, then simply covering the cuts with b roll of congregation cutaway. Cutaway shots are video only. Am I on track?
Are you dropping your cutaway shots as overwrites on video layer 1? Or using layer two to give you easy change options?
You say the sequence itself shows up in the SOURCE monitor???
