Ah! There it is. I knew it existed somewhere. Thanks Jan! much appreciated.

Yep, i knew that, (and your right, extremely handy). I guess maybe what i was trying to get at was the timecode based “notes” interface he built for the FLV player (like how adobes clip notes function).

Well, i guess thats what i meant. That i’d like to see the QT player have the same timecode functionality that your FLV player enjoys (along with the ability to make notes and such at specific points). But you already addressed that in a previous email that it would be difficult i guess.

For what it’s worth, i rarley use H.264 as a format becasue it always jacks with the color of the video. (filesize is nice, i admit tho) Even if you export it on a mac, it still puts a slight shift in the video gamma (more pronounced on the pc side). There was a thread on one of the compositing forums a while back and other people duplicated the issue pretty easily. I haven’t tried it in the past several months, but i doubt it’s changed. So if the qt player in your application could be codec agnostic, i’d def take a hard look at it.
thanks!

Was looking at your product, seems pretty nice. I have a question tho, you have the ability to use timecode on the FLV stuff, but what about using timecode on QT movies, WMV, or AVI’s?-Chad

Did you ever manage to get a keyboard shortcut that locked/unlocked a track? I’ve yet to be able to figure this out in the keyboard configuration window, as I can’t find the “lock” command in any of the menus.
thanks

Thanks for your thoughts. The only other strange thing i’ve noticed is that you acutally have to pay for every machine you want the codec on? Doesn’t that make it a little counterproductive in a worfklow? For example, matrox gives away it’s software codecs, so you can comp/animate on other machines, then take it to the matrox for output. Or am i missing something and making it more complicated thatn it needs to be.
thanks

Thats the crappy part, i went to the toshiba website for him and they haven’t updated the vid card driver since 2003 🙁 Is there anyway to tell premiere to use a “non accellarated” safe mode or anything like that?

Thanks for the detailed explanation on the blackburst generator setup, and that def sounds like the setup i need to get to. For now, just to get this project done, the looping trick Kristian suggested seems to be working so it will have to do. Ah, the joys of analog video 🙂

so just to make sure i understand, your wanting me to connect the genlock in from the bm card directly to the ref in of the deck? If they are both “In” wouldn’t that cancel out?
sorry for my video routing ignorance…
