Thanks. I’ll have to install it and look around. So the new PTT tool does it all now?
Don’t have training DVD’s for 8 yet.

Hi Spot
Wow! Thanks. And my Vegas Pro 8 upgrade just arrived yesterday.
Using the ProType Titler, I suppose I’ll still need Track Motion or Event Pan/Crop, or does everything work differently in Pro 8?
I’ll get 8 installed today and bring the project into it under a different project name so I don’t loose my current work.
Thanks again

I use a AT 2020 that was recommended to me some years ago, I think at this forum. It’s in the $90 price range and I’ve been happy with it.

Realy I think it would be a personal choice for you. If I said to get this one or that one and you did’t like it then I’d feel bad 😉Let me tell you a short story. I do some technical video work for railways. I recenty retired from the commuter railroad here in the Chicago area. I have a ‘partner’ who also is with me and this fellow has over 20 years in video and film production.
I believe he had a GL1 at the time. Then he bought the new XL2 I think it was. Boy he was happy as heck. XLR imputs, pro camera and all. We we did a shoot together so he wanted to test and compare his video to mine with my VX2000 (now 2100).
We do technical stuff for railroads. So we set up the mounts on both ends of the train. I shot one way and my friend the other. We compared videos and the video from my Sony was noticably better and sharper than his new expensive XL2. He took that camera back a week later. He did buy that new Canon HD, I can’t remember the model but it sort of looked like the GL1/2 He likes it as far as I know.
So if you can, get your hands on a few cameras. Try them out, see how you like holding them.
If it were me with the type of shooting I do, I’d go for the Sony PD-170, and it won’t break the bank. But most (90%) of what I do get’s encoded to MPEG-1 and put on CD-ROM’s So while the PD-170 or my DSR-250 is good for me, but may not be the right one for you.

Hi Tim
Thanks much. This may sound stupid but I really don’t know much about blogs. Especially suscribing to them. I only followed 1 in my life and that was a friend in China who provided me some info on a DVD I produced about the Mag-Lev train in Shanghai.Haven’t had much time to blog or read them. 12 hours a day on the railways and the rest of the time at my video business. Retired from the railroad now and full time video work. Plus I just got certified in legal video work.
But that “Your Own Business” blog interested me.
thanks again

Wow! I learned something here. I always thought we needed to look for a short response time on a flat panel for displaying the video. Haven’t bought one yet but I was always looking for 2ms to 5ms response time.Your saying your monitors run in the 20-30ms? I agree about the color spectrum but how are your monitors for the video work or can’t we have our cake and eat it too?
