Just read your comments concerning CS4 and exporting to Quicktime. I tried your work around, but with no luck. AME rejects the file as soon as I start the rendering. I have a client who wants his videos as Quicktime for his video system and I can’t seem to get there with CS4. Its almost panic time.

Ann,
Thank you I will give it a try. I’m looking for something that isn’t time consuming or doesn’t take a whole lot of talent. I’ve got about 4 weeks now to solve my problem. That should give me some time to see if I can make it work for me.

Noah,
Thank you, I am going to upgrade to CS4 in the next week or two, but meantime the Panasonic web site says the 150 is compatible with CS3. I can never be just simple, can it?

Thank you, I will be pressing forward

PS: While this might address the play-back issue, I’ll still have to find a solution to why my encoding stops in the last 3 or 4 frames.

OK. I will give the download a try and see what happens. I need to get a handle on this ASAP because I’ve got a meeting in Spokane with a client on Friday and among other proposals will be the inclusion of Flash videos on his web site.

Just rendered last 10 seconds, or 455 frames. The encoding stopped at 449 frames and went into “Exporting Movie” mode. So length of files doesn’t seem to matter. This was an .avi rendered in Matrox. I’ll try it again with the same file that was rendered as a DV.
The exporting movie phase takes a long time.
Also, a DV file of 204 frames stops at 200 and it goes into the Exporting Movie mode and while a file is created on the hard drive, there doesn’t seem to be a video production there.

Tim,
I’m back to a situation where I believe PremierePro and my system is running pretty well. Thank you for your assistance. I have posted a couple of questions on the Serious Magic list because there are two issues with Ultra. However, at least it is working after a fashion and it isn’t taking down my system.
For some reason, my system lockup (as we discussed earlier)following the video card upgrade and the replacement of the RAM seems to have just gone away. Now, I can’t duplicate the behavior. However, I am taking your advise and making two renders. One in Matrox and the other in Microsoft DV avi. Back to Ultra, I think I’m seeing that the program responds better when I capture my green screen files using Microsoft DV avi as well. I can always take those processed files into PremierePro and render them with the Matrox files.
Anyway, when you get time, take a look at my posts on the Serious Magic page. I don’t know if others have expereinced this or not.

Tim,
Early this morning I captured a segment that is going into the show, but I had to caputure through Matrox. I then opened a New project and took that .avi into a Microsoft dv avi environment. The work was very stable as I added titles and a couple of effects. The result is MS DV AVI that I will use to compile the entire program. As per your suggestion I will then render one as a Matrox so I can output to video tape and I’ll use the orginial rendered file to output my DVD’s. I’m crossing my fingers, but so far so good. And once again, thank you very much for your help and suggestions. Funny how a guy 1/2 way across the country who doesn’t even have a Matrox system seems to have more ideas on what is going wrong than the dealer out here.
