Thanks so much everyone! After days of researching, I have decided to go for the 7D for personal reasons. I am going to get the body and spend extra on a nice lens.. I will buy alternative lenses at a later point but for now I want a great lens that will be useful for everyday use. I keep hearing the 17-5mm f/2.8 IS is a great starting lens..

Do people agree or have experience on this lens? As I said before, it will be my everyday use lens that will be used for pictures and video. Also, would this be sufficient for basic zoom?
What you guys reckon? if theres something better out there, i would love to hear about it.
Thanks again!

do you have to pay for magic bullet suite?

Thanks Ted. What would be the best way to transfer the project into AE. Dynamic link or just import the sequences from AE directly?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply Angelo. I am using Premiere Pro CS4 and the DV-Pal Widescreen 48KHz preset. And yes I also used dynamic linking to get to encore.
The best way I can describe the flickers is that they’re along straight edges mostly that create a jagged unstraight and flicker when the images moves. Sorry for the vagueness of this, not sure how else to describe. Ill try and upload an image.
I interpreted the footage for one of the images and it says progessive scan, is that right?

Right click on the menu file in the bin and enable play first

Thank you Walter. I tried using both earlier and the D1/DV Widescreen didn’t seem like a wide-screen to me but what do I know.. the PAL D1/DV Widescreen Square Pixel seemed to look about the right dimensions but I will certainly contact the TV supplier and see if they can confirm that this will work correctly so thanks a lot. I will make sure to read up on all this after this project has done, I’m just on a very right schedule right now.
I have also emailed the company I’m doing this for to see whether they want a blueray or standard DVD but I expect it will be the SD as resolution isn’t much of an issue on this video. If I use the HD preset you mentioned, is it simple to alter afterwards to go back to D1/DV widescreen square pixel? Looked less of a wide-screen on here.
I will confirm that it is widescreen and PAL and if this is correct, I will go ahead and use the D1/DV prest you mentioned if you agreee?
Thanks a lot for your help!

The problem is I have to ask strangers because I don’t anything about the comp settings. I’ve asked for some more info from the TV and DVD supplier but I expect they don’t have all the information on it that AE requires. I’ve only just started out in AE and truly don’t understand the comp settings, can you please just give me a preset that would work best with the info I have,

I’m using quite a lot of effects and images, a lot of which will be set out like a slide-show with slow zooms and focus in’s etc. So would you say to just do the effects in AE and edit the rest in Premiere or something similar?
