You did not say what format or camera. Make sure your timeline matches your format so that the project works without rendering.

I am at a loss to figure out how anybody could build a CS4-friendly system with what Adobe recommends. All they have is a bunch of Display cards there, nothing else that would help you build or buy a ‘recommended’ system. Even the list of display cards is sloppy because they have the same card listed twice.
I built two Windows 7 (Ultimate) 64 bit systems with mostly similar configurations but PPCS4 freezes on an EX1/3 project. The program display window is blank white. Timeline will not move. Asus P6T Deluxe mobo, i920 processor (eight cores!), Nvidia 285 graphics card, NVIDIA 9600 card, 12GB Ram, Raid 0, Soundmax audio, (I have tried different sound cards such as Soundblaster X-Fi, Audigy and cheap $10 cards) 3GB/sec SATA drives aplenty. One of the machines is dual boot with XP, and CS3 Master Collection works without ANY problems in XP or Win7. CS4 (as someone mentioned on a different forum) is like a lottery. If your config works you’ve hit it. But you cannot actively win it! PPCS4 is a terrible program that should not have been released as a paid software as far as I am concerned. I had to pay $15 shipping for a trial CS4 Master Collection because they wouldnt have a downloadable link.
If it ever starts working (I am always hopeful) I will change my opinion. But I may not be able to find out anymore because my trial version says it has expired! May be I need to buy another trial version for another $15 to find out it still doesnt work!Or CS4PP will only work on a dual processor Xeon system?

It is not a ‘problem’ per se, that’s how PPro will import it. Ch 1 and Ch2 are Left and Right of ONE stereo track. If you want them to be on separate tracks, you have to do this: paste a copy of the stereo track onto track 2, Then apply stereo filter FILL LEFT to track 1 and FILL RIGHT to track 2 – then you can treat them separately.

BPAV can be directly imported into PP CS3 since Ver 3.2, not earlier.

The component cables of my Ex1/3 and Z1U are interchangeable. So I assume if the connections are the same they work among different models. In my case these cables work on the JVC HM100 as well.
The replacement cables are sturdy and longer than the supplied ones. -

This one gives S-Video out from EX1 which does not have an S-video out built in. Works on my EX1 and EX3. -

October 22, 2009 at 4:18 am in reply to: Is it OK to use SDHC card in other devices besides EX-1/3?I have used the same cards (Transcend c6 16 and 32) in EX3 (in adapter) and JVC HM100 (no adapter necessary), back and forth, and they work without issues.

You mean the EX-5. The Japanese usually don’t name anything 4.

I apologize if my post has created trouble for anyone. As I had mentioned in my earlier posts I had success with six of the AFT adapters, only one was defective which when got replaced worked fine. One of my seven AFT adapters since gave error a couple of times and I see that it has a dent on it which may or may not be the culprit.
But last Sunday I had a long continuous shoot on tripod for about 8 hrs and at the end of the day I ran out of Sandisks and had to use a cheaper Microcenter brand 16gig. It started giving media error after a few minutes in spite of changing slots and reinstating. And it was in the MxR adapter. The adapter was rather hot so I, out of desperation, put the card in an AFT and it recorded for the rest of the event without error!
I don’t work for AFT. I chanced upon AFT thru trial and error of different brands (mostly because when I ordered the MxR it was taking a long time to get).
Recently my 32 gig Transcend card died AFTER I copied a shoot out of it, thank God! The reason might have been that I put a sticker on it to identify and it was fitting tight in the adapter. Not sure if that caused its demise. Transcend sent me a new one and I recorded three times on it today filling and reformatting. Initially I had to format it in different slots a couple of times before it would embark on its task.
Is heat from continuous use contributing to errors, I am beginning to wonder.
