Not sure, but sounds like it was produced with a looping program similar to Acid or Adobe Audition.

Are you cutting without using the preset bus? Panasonic switchers are not exactly syncronous. It freezes the outgoing video til the incoming video is timed then makes the cut. If you use the preset bus, it holds up the cut til the incoming video has synced, then makes the switch. Dissolves utilize the preset bus so that eliminates the problem. Hope I have made this clear, it isn’t easy to explain.

[angus] “you could render an uncompressed QT out of AE and import that into the Avid”
That is what I tried. No flash frame problems, but I wasn’t happy with the overall quality. Have some color fluttering that bothers me, just not stable color.
Yes it is an ABVB system. So how would I get the codec for a MAC Avid and make it work in my PC? I love new toys, I love the learning process, just wish the learning curve had fewer turns.Charlie

Hey thanks a lot, I didn’t see the seperate video and audio settings before cause I didn’t look in Adobe Media Encoder, dumb Charlie.
Mike, I guess I should have mentioned this was not for creating a DVD, it is for playback in our MPG players we use for playing advertising loops in the rooms here at the hotel. They work best at 8Mbs Variable. Currently don’t need Dolby since oour TV’s aren’t stereo anyhow. Some day hotewls might goin the world of TV viewers, but hey that would keep the guests in the rooms and out of the casino. Shame on anyone suggesting anything that would do that.
Again Thank you very much. I will be bugging you more as I learn this. Took me a while to learn Avid, from my old linear days, then learned Vegas, now I have the entire Video Suite from Adobe to learn. (And they say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks) I love this business cause I learn something new every day.

Duh! Sorry forgot to mention that is for MPG2.

I highly recommend Grass Valley. IMHO, they are far superior to anything else out there. Easy to set up, easy to operate, versatile, expandable, upgradeable, expensive. They just pretty much have everything. I think I even saw a kitchen sink in there once.

Phil,
I have an inexpensive setup here, since budgets in a hotel don;’t really favor the video promotions department unless they go out of house, in which case they will spend 40-50,000 or more for one project. The reason I say this is that I wouldn’t really recommend my encoder for broadcast because it is actually a prosumer product. I have the Dazzle which was sold to Pinnacle and recently bought by Avid.Charlie

[Tim Kolb] “I’m curious to see if Tiger helps the Mac’s speed standings. “
Tim,
I’m not sure how reliable this information is, but I have seen and heard a lot of problems with Tiger, hardware not compatible, software not compatible, etc. This sounds somewhat like Win XP did to some hardware, but at least they warned us that there might be problems with some older hardware.Charlie

[Valerie Shoaps] “Export an uncompressed QT file for best quality to a external drive, start it up, and put a kettle on. “
Ya know Valerie, this doesn’t seem to work everytime, for some reason.
I just had to re-edit a project that the client only had a DVD of the footage. I Digitized from that to my Avid, did the re-edit, now agreed the quality wasn’t the greatest, but it was acceptable. I exported a QT as I have done before into my PC and converted to MPG2. Had a bad artifact problem, so I checked the exported QT and the problem was on it. I did a simple analog output from my Avid MAC into my MPG hardware encoder into the PC and it was clean. Now ain’t that strange?Charlie
