Of course, it worked! Thanks again Rafael,
I wonder is there anywhere I can “turn off” this auto scale and distort such that I can simply work in my chosen project size?

Thanks Rafael, I’ll do it first thing in the morning at work and post back but I’ll bet you’ve saved me, cheers

I’m honestly not offended, but was motivated to post my sincere regret if I had offended anyone.
Thanks for Creative COW Ron, as Photoshop is to graphic artists, so Bessie is to creative people the world over. May she long remain garbage free!

Kind regards,
Bret Goldsworthy

I know I posted a couple of “edgy” ones but I never posted anything I considered bigoted, racially offensive or insulting, designed to shock with perversity or brutality, would senselessly stereotype a person or group, or designed to denigrate or otherwise enrage or anger an individual or group of people. Call me thin skinned but hey, I can find a speech by George Bush morally offensive. I have never considered myself to be the arbiter of good taste but in short, offence was never my intention. Sincere apologies to all if any of the jokes I had submitted offended or contributed to the axing of the Cowmedy club lounge. The world really does need a bit more humour. Creative Cow is without a doubt one of the few decent sites on this whole worldwide sewer that is the Internet. Personally, I felt that the lounge needed a little “edginess” as there seemed to be a lot of “duck walks into a chemist” type jokes. Truly, nine out of ten didn’t even elicit a “ha” let alone a “ha ha ha” but then again, it seems plenty of people found the three stooges funny. One man likes a trumpet and the next man likes a trombone I guess. For my part, henceforth, I will steer well clear of anything to do with humour on the COW and, as inoffensively as possible; continue to milk the COW for her unsurpassed technical advice.

1. According to rabidjackalope.com – 30mins of digitised DV = 6.52GB as DV digitises @ 3.62 MB per second therefore 25 hours = 325GB approximately. Digitalheaven.com says 25Hrs of DV PAL = 317.84GB or 25 Hrs of DV NTSC = 267.55GB
2. Yes, your finished 90 minute timeline rendered out should equate to 113.4 GB. consider render files – depends how many effects and transitions you apply but generally I’d batch digitise only the best 3 takes of each scene. Hi Rez? it doesn’t get any better than the original acquisition
3. DV (PAL or NTSC) 48K is the go. You’d need a hell of a lot of audio , graphics and render files as well to fill up your Terrabyte storage, assuming you’ve nothing else already on there. Remember assume makes an ass out of U and me.
