The report is gone now. Whither goest thou? A 404 code from Cow.

I do it by keeping each camera on a separate track. Fades are done by using a composite level envelope on the upper track. You can only do a simple fade, but the colors are not thrown off by FX processing.

You say you have a 64 bit laptop, so I am wondering if you have the 64 bit version of Win 7. That’s probably what you mean, but it doesn’t hurt to check.

Turn snap on. Then position cursor to the beginning of an event in the group. Get close to the beginning and left click, and the cursor will jump to be right on the beginning of the event. Then, drag all the other events to the cursor position. They will snap into place. Then move the cursor to the desired end point. Adjust the lengths of all events until they snap into place aligned with the cursor.
Done.

I am on CS6 and do not plan to move to the CC. Renting anything on a long term basis is a very losing proposition. I believe CC will open the door for competitive products to emerge, and I will wait for that before using the CC. I have gotten the impression that there are already competitive products for After Effects, and I would try those out before spending time on After Effects.
My main use of Adobe right now is Photoshop, and the CS6 version of Photoshop has all the capability that I can imagine needing. The main reason to upgrade in the past was to preserve my ability to process raw images from new cameras via the PS interface. If I get a camera in the future which CS6 does not support and there are no competing products to fill the gap, my plan is get Lightroom. It is much cheaper than PS, and can do the same raw image processing. The output of Lightroom can then be further edited by CS6 Photoshop.
A point well taken is that, if you stop paying for CC, your ability to access projects which were developed when using it is gone. You lose the ability to access all your previous work.

Although I have never used the capability, Douglas Spotted Eagle talked about the ability of the XH-A1 to output (I think) uncompressed video. His comment at the time was that it is available, but you would need a heavy duty raid configuration and computer to keep up with the data stream that the camera produces. I am reasonably sure that he was referring to the camera’s ability to output data via its SDI port. Douglas was so impressed with the camera that he produced a DVD via VASST which attempted to explain all of its capabilities. He may have talked about the uncompressed output on the DVD, but I don’t remember that for sure. I heard him discuss the uncompressed output at a 2 or 3 day seminar which focused on Vegas training.

All I see is build 726 on your link. Any idea why I’m not seeing 765?

What does it take to connect the Sony PVM monitors to the computer?

The only reason I upgrade is when I have a new camera whose raw format is not supported by my old version of Photoshop. In the future, I plan to work around that problem. Dng is a possibility, but I just recently realized that Lightroom is MUCH cheaper than Photoshop and its included suite. If I ever need to process raw from a new camera, I will be looking to do it with Lightroom, output to Tif, and use the tif in my “old” Photoshop. That’s assuming of course that I still want or need Adobe for the raw function.

Why do you say that a shutter speed of 1/100 is best for 50fps, and 1/50 is the best for 25fps? Is that what the Canon manual says? Those speeds are far too slow to capture fast motion. I’m not even terribly comfortable using speeds that slow for an object that is not moving much at all because, when I’m hand holding the camera, I’m not always able to hold it steady enough for ultra sharp shots. Although you surely are not hand holding the camera for video, the point remains. The shutter speed is too slow to freeze high speed motion. That will cause the image to look blurred.
