I agree with what has been said already. You can use the HDMI or even S-Video out of the graphics card. I still use a DV converter even when editing HD so that I can make use of two VGA/computer monitors while editing. The DV converter works decent with HD for CC, transitions and other things but some motion graphics will be a tad bit jerky because you are restricted to 720X480 resolution. There is a reason to get a Decklink card if you want to run dual computer monitors along side of the NTSC monitor.

I am not sure if it is the Matrox card or not. Maybe you installed some software on your system recently that has caused problems.

I just use a cheap DV converter. I want to get a Deckling Intensity Pro ASAP.

James,
Is CC your only concern or do you want true HD resolution?
I only want to get a Decklink card so my motion graphics will look better on the NTSC monitor. For CC my converter works just fine. The resolution will be constricted to 720 X 480 so when editing HD footage some of the motion graphics might look jerky but the CC should be fine. My cheap 129.99 DV convert does have component out. It would require RCA to BNC adpaters for use with a true broadcast monitor but I have seen DV converters with BNC componet out put for less then $500.00. But then again at $500.00 a Decklink or Xena card might be a better option.

Roberto,
Yes you can edit HDV files and AVCHD files on the same timline using PP CS4. Infact you can edit them together in P2 time line or and HDV timeline. It does not matter either way. It is best to shoot the AVCHD and the HDV both at 1440X1080 that way they will match the HDV pre set project timlien better. You can do cuts only editng in realtime with out dropping frames using AVCHD in high quality preview mode if you have a good 2.66 GHZ quad Core.
As far as CC is concerned that will be your responsability and you would be best of to assemble the footage first and then add CC and effects later. The Native AVCHD files bog my system down when applying affects.

I forgot. You might want to look at the Decklink cards and even the Xena from AJA.

You can use a DV converter with AE and Premiere to monitor your work on a proffesional NTSC monitor. Some of the DV converters can cost $1500.00 but they will have BNC, XLR, SDI, etc. I use a cheap 129.99 ADS PYRO.
I used to use the S-Video out put of my Graphics Card but the converter is a better way to go. I can have two computer montiors plus the Client/NTSC monitor.

Like others have posted there are several options for the PC. Edius does have some great real time but the integration of the Adobe CS4 Master Collection is hard to beat. I jumped ship from Edius to the CS4 Master Collection. The RT of Edius is great but it can not match the work flow of the CS4 Master Collection.
Try the demo version of each program and chose the one that you like best.
I just built a real ass kicking Quad Core system for under $600.00.

The ADS Pyro works great with Macs and FCP. My Mac friend has used mine several times. It is about the least expensive solution to get real-time previews on an NTSC or Pal monitor.
I admit Canopus makes some good products but the ADS Pyro will work just fine.

You do not need a striped RAID configuration to edit AVCHD in it’s native format. If you used the Cineform converter a RAID would let you play several layers at once.

It would be very easy to do with Photshop/Illustrator and Premiere. If you notice all the clip art is just expanding/scaling. The paint splatters are indeed a preset in the Photoshop brushes. AE would be need to actual animate brush strokes to make tree branches wiggle but the clip art is only scaled. Go to 2:26. I would have justed panned a PhotShop file and animated the clip art type images in Premiere. There is no need for After Effects from what I have seen. You can indeed import clip art from MS Office into Premiere.
All images, text and clp art are only scaled. The butterflies could be done with 2-3 different images. It almost looks like they just made use of 3D axis for the butterflies animation.
In a nut shell this is really easy to do with Photshop/Illustrator and Premire Pro. You could use AE if you want to.
