Walter,
Thank you very much for the help. It was my impression that you shouldn’t use WAV files on Macs. Is this a bad assumption?

Thanks for the info.

So what you are saying is, to keep the HDV footage totally full quality, I shouldn’t touch it at all?

My comp has 4gb of RAM so I don’t think that’s an issue.

In the secret menu, can you explain what exactly I should change?

Thanks!

I’ve done a little research and I am finding it hard to find Adobe Media Encoder. It says it is a stand alone application, but it says you use it by exporting from Premiere Pro? Is there anyone else that can help me with this?

Thanks,
Daniel

Haha yeah… Do you know a good converter for a PC (that’s what I run on).

Thanks,
Daniel

And to do the conversion, do I just bring the HDV file into AE and export the whole thing as uncompressed AVI. Then import it back in to start editing?

Thanks,

Dave,

Again I wanted to say thanks for the tip. I was wondering though if you either knew of a step by step explanation of how to conver the files or if you knew a good way/codec yourself.

Thanks,
-Daniel

[Danny Soderberg]

Thats very good to know! What should I convert the files too?

Thanks,
Daniel

Thanks for the post,

Open GL was turned on but when I turned it off it changed nothing.

I do work with HDV footage straight from the camera but it looks like you forgot to put something after “Read this”

Let me know of any other information that would help.

Thanks,
Daniel

Thanks for the idea, but I will set the work area I want it to render and I set it for more than 3 seconds.

Thanks for the links, though I actually use Adobe Premiere and After Effects to edit.
