Somehow I managed to remove the New Sequence Icon from the top left hand side of the project window, all is now well.

If you go to Canon consider the 5D mark III but, this may be out of your budget, used the Mark II for 6 years with a EF IS (image stabilized)28-135 mm at aperture 3.5 to 5.6 maximum aperture, but is very usefull through the whole range, the video is just stunning.Anything smaller has a sensor smaller than 35mm.

Good luck

I tried it, and got better results without it, I found the original footage was the only way to go unless you wanted weird video ?????????????????????

Yes, I have not done that on our Macs, but, now use Windows as well, nearly all the time.On an i7 Dell Precision Server XEON Quad Core 64 bit we have had no issues. Under accessories you should be able to ask the system to clean up your “C” drive, all your files could be scattered anywhere with complex work , although I would hardly call what you have done in Effects, that..

We have had a case where the security system was compromised and completely destabilized our system.Just disconnect and shut it down for a while ?

Did you get rid of fcp and do a clean install of CS6 and get the upgrade ? And, I think you should have a Nvidia Quadro FX4000 (or better) the Apple Mac video card installed, but, if you say the Mercury Engine is running you would have the right card, make sure it is not on software only ?That could be slow with certain effects and general rendering ?

Hi TimK,

We have been using PP 5.5.2 for some 12 months and sometimes it takes say 30-60 sec to re-render files automatically, but not all the time.

There may be some lag time in loading all files in say a 2 hour production but it does so fairly quickly in our Dell Precision T5500.

It would be nice to get rid of this issue, it does not happen in Sony Vegas ?

Thanks, Ann, that is simpler.

I do not need to that much now because of the Canon 5D mark II square pixels

Hi Bill,

I have found in Photoshop Image>Transform>Perspective, it is not perfect but you can drag the image out to approx the correct perspective and it prints OK.

Hi Jonathan,
The detail is not the issue, I have seen the change from 72p to 200p on resample, it looks right in Photoshop but, prints squeezed from the Epson R800, if I use the Epson Print Cd that allows me to fix the distorted image, it looks like the distorted image from a 35mm film clip before using the anamorphic lens on projection ?

I just thought it would be dead easy using Photoshop ?

Hi Bill,
I did that as I know the pixels from Premiere Pro CS5.5.2 are anamorphic and rectangular and CS5.5.2 fixes the proportions on the fly, Photoshop does the same thing but, even if you “save as’ it prints incorrectly ?, Photoshop makes it look right but does not print that way ?
