I’ll 2nd MDV — excellent at moving and/or copying files by project.

I find that with sony cameras, using their software to import files is worthwhile. besides seamless stitching, you then have entire takes as single files, no matter how long they are. if you lost the cd you can probably download the program from sony by looking up the camera name…

my experience is that CS3 will run will on WinXP but should be run on a clean re-install of the OS. I had a sluggish system and found a huge difference after doing a clean install of windows – SP2. premiere and encore both work much better. I have the CS4 suite on a new vista business 64 Dell T3400 with Quadro FX1700 and it works. of the production suite programs only photoshop CS4 does OK on a less-than-approved system.

Dell Precision works for me. I have several – 1 goes back many years – and they’re rock solid. BTW Dell now specifies “North American support” for Precisions. as the poster above mentioned, choose a CPU but for everything else including RAM, optical drives and extra hard drives, order the least or cheapest and then get ‘im yourself.

sorry I can’t help you but suggest you test using a short segment of your program – 1 minute or less – until you get it working. you may still have a problem with the whole thing but then you’ll know it’s the length and not the settings.

yes PP2 can capture and edit HDV from the Sony FX1. when you start a new project choose HDV…

oy. thanks aanarav. I assume this is a bug which will be fixed soon. but just to be clear, is there any difference if the thing is allowed to render the first time the multicam is launched?

[Aanarav Sareen] “When the first time you launched the multi-cam window, did you wait for the entire thing to render? “
don’t remember – maybe I cancelled it. would that make it keep doing it? doesn’t it know that it’s already done it? I haven’t cut anything from the program, just made video choices, so the audio has no reason to change.

if you look at the avid express pro forum at avid.com you’ll see that a lot of queries are about problems with going to DVD. I’ve been using avid for 10 years and am moving to PP2 not for editing superiority but exactly for projects which require “seamless” DVD’s from the timeline,impossible with Avid. the only way to burn a DVD from an avid timeline is to use a hardware dvd encoder or a standalone dvd recorder like philips which accepts a DV signal from a computer. avid is still great for editing and really great at media management compared to most other nle’s, especially premiere, which apparently has problems with large projects. avid has a learning curve but allows really fast editing once you know it. but for dvd’s you have to export from avid to an encoding program and then encode and then bring those files into an authoring program. PP2’s direct approach is WAY easier especially if you don’t need a menu.
