Don’t monitor from the deck output.
Or get more experienced “producers”. 😉

Try this.

Click on the clip you have rotated.

Motion tab > Crop > “Edge Feather” (adjust to taste).

[Ben Holmes] “every time some poor schmuck DOES a search…”

Well, I don’t think we have to worry too much about THAT. 😉

But that’s OK.

“Traffic” is what makes boards successful.

[Mark Raudonis] “This has to be the second most frequently asked question… See the menu that says “search”.”

Don’t ya just HATE to waste a perfectly good “search” lecture?

Buy don’t worry.

SAVE it.

Because…

The TC window dub, or
I’ve got dropped frames, or
I can’t see my output through the camera, or
my FW is not responding, or
why does my effect look bad in the Canvas, or
my timeline stutters, or
my slo-mo looks bad, or
what DPI is best, or
can I filter my bad audio, or
my audio is slipping, or
my Wide Screen bars move, or
my titles look bad, or
I can’t hear audio during capture, or
how do I make a freeze-frame, or
how do I blur a face, or
how do I import a DVD, or
how do I capture 4 channels of audio, or
how do I get a better green-screen, or
why can’t I add a dissolve between clips, or
(my personal favorite) how do I make my video look like FILM…

…questions will come up again tomorrow (or by Monday, at the latest.)

Decks automatically “adjust” their input to match the incoming signal’s Vertical TIMING.

That’s what you’re seeing onthe monitor.

If the recording plays back correctly… all is well.

Unless you’re talking about PLAYING a clip in REVERSE.

That’s “SPEED” (Apple-J) set to -100% (minus, one hundred percent)

Don’t know this camcorder, but it sounds like you might have a MIC ATTENUATION setting turned on.

Check the menus and slide-switches for this.
That could account for 10 to 20 dB of lower level.

[Richard Blakeslee] “I didn’t know that I could move the ‘white’bar to the other monitor. I even read my manual.
Where is all this information kept?”

It says how to do this right on the screen when you have the “Displays” control panel open, under the “Arrangement” tab.

I own 4 DVD recorders.
But of them, there’s one that is the most versatile, reliable and FAST I’ve ever used.

It records on DVD-R, DVD-RW,

AND

DVD+R, DVD+RW

AND

Audio CD (makes a great standard audio CD!)

AND

CD-V (video CD format)

It will FINALIZE a newly-recorded DVD in under 90 SECONDS!!
(Many other units take up to 15-30 MINUTES to finalize a single DVD… that’s a LOT of time spent WAITING.)

The Lite-On records DVD’s at HQ (1-hour) SP (2-hour) LP (4-hour) and SLP (6-hour).
And the image and audio quality is superb.
(Even the SLP recordings are very “watchable” unlike other DVD burners I’ve used.)

No component inputs, but it has S-Video (almost as good as Component. looks great) and FireWire for direct input from a DV source.

I used mine constantly for months… no problems.

This little gem can be found at (of all places) COSTCO, for the unbelieveable price of
$169.00.

I read a bunch of on-line consumer “reviews” of this unit (Googled it), and it sold me.

Here’s a link to Costco and the unit:

They keep lowering the prices on these set-top DVD recorders all the time.
