[Chxeditor] “What makes the digital on-line bay at MDA cool is its using the Accom Axial editor which has some built in “un-linear” editing functions,”
I was one of a very small number of people that actually got delivery of the GVG Sabre Edit. That was the coolest linear edit system I have ever seen. I could stack up edits in tht timeline as far as I could go before actually making the edit, as long as the machines could cue up in time for real time play. It did a fabulous job of controlling my GVG 200 switcher, my Chyron Super Scribe, and my GVG (Dubner) Still Store Paint system, along with Digi-Betas and Beta machines. they never got it to talk to my Ampex VPR6’s before teh project was canned and Tektronix closed the entire editing department. My buddies at Editware who came from GVG have done a very nice job with utilizing some of those features in their newer systems. I was told that I was only 1 out of maybe 7 people that ever fully understood that system and actually loved it.
Sorry to be so far off topic but had to get my 2 cents in.

I have been using photoshop files for text animations. The only requirement I found was that I had to have the font installed on the machine I am using, which I do.
Not sure why suddenly it quit working, or what might have changed in the process of creating the text files in photoshop.Charlie

Grin,
I feel for you, old buddy. I know how it is to have to give up on an old horse, cow, whatever the manner it is. I’m like Tim, I never throw anything away, it lingers there for me to go to and reminisce ocassionally. It is hard to give up an old love. I think that is what helps keep me and the wife together. After over 43 years I just would never be able to go out on my own alone. Heck, I’m pretty useless without her.Hang in there bud and the pain will get easier to take in time.

I would love to see it, but poping an e-mail isn’t easy when I don’t know your e-mail address, and it isn’t listed in your profile.

Everything else drags and drops fine. Creating the Text in After Effects, worked OK. But not as convenient as using the Text we already created in Photoshop.

That’s funny Doug,
Can you imagine something really happening? Since I liev in Las Vegas, I could stand around the corner and watch to see how they reacted to no one being there. Great practical joke.Charlie

I use Sure Thing for my tapes. Recently started using Print CD which came with my Epson Printer for printing directly to CD and DVD’s. I used the Sure Thing for CD’s until I got my Epson. I like the software that came with the epson for CD’s and DVD’s cause it works well with Photoshop for creating the original art work then transfering to the print software.

The simplest way I can answer is I started Television at the rate of $1.35 an hour. I certainly don’t work for that now.

Oh by the way Bob,
These are the rates I set up about 1980, just never changed them. Saw no reason to.Charlie

For small dub orders, 1-5 say. I always had the policy that if the dubs were made within the session, they are just part of the editing process and included in the hourly rate (plus stock, etc). If I received a call for dubs at a later time. They were made at our convenience and the rate was $25 for first and $7.50 per dub thereafter, again plus stock. This usually translated to an amount close to my hourly rate for the room, for the amount of time it took. Dub houses are cheaper and that should be the way it is. The reason for the higher first dub is to cover setting. Hope this helps.
