The machines we’ve installed/tested it on are up to scratch
(ram, cards, and cpu) edit suites. The problem we have,
is that, we’re hoping to integrate our new media and TV/film
workflow soons with Flash On, AIR, etc. This will happen
once we’ve purchased/built a new HD suite w/Xena hardware.
I was hoping to have PPro3 at its heart, but experiences
thus far aren’t favourable for the ol’girl.D.

I’ve never seen PPro crash whilst using the title creator
either, then again, I’ve never used CS3 before. You
seem to think that CS3 is faultless. Not an Adobe
sales rep by any chance? 😉D.

The little things we’ll overcome eventually. Crashing
without a last minute option to save, though, is unforgivable
Final Cut Pro territory.D.

I can’t remember what I said in the blemish tut now. Hopefully
I was funny.Good luck waiting for ‘Adobe One’. 😉

Ah, but Flash is suddenly the future again. What
Adobe are doing with Flash On and having it support
1080p H.264 is amazing. Who would have thought it?
A 1080p movie playing inside a Flash player. Just
a shame that Adobe have made such a pig’s ear of
Premiere Pro and Audition… 🙁D.

After using Cinelook/Film Damage for a few years I can’t
imagine going back to the manual method(s) of creatively
ageing video. You may have trouble getting hold of Film
Damage, though, because it’s a relatively old plugin (9 years
or so).The Video CoPilot tutorial is here:
https://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials.html?id=57This should sort you out.
If you want/need to save the tutorial on your computer for
future reference, then download the latest version of
RealPlayer first… RealPlayer, by default, will now
always ask whether you would like to ‘Download This Video?’
for any kind of streaming video (YouTube, Quicktime, Flash,
etc.) from the internet, nowadays.Finally, an example of Cinelook/Film Damage is when I
used it to touch up a little film we made (on camcorder
in B/W) at university to do with Bergman’s ‘The Seventh
Seal’. Cine/Film’s flickers, dust and colour correction have
been applied subtly.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRadZYxembo

The pros use Digieffects’ AE plugins – Cinelook/Film Damage.
Ridiculously tweakable.

Presupposedly you would create a lower-third aston
at a higher res than required to future-proof it
for an expected jump to a HD workflow?Always remember to frame your astons for 14:9
nowadays, not 16:9. Here’s a guide.

Also, consider upgrading your monitor to 24″ capable of
1920×1080. Dell and Acer are two firms which make reasonably
priced screens at that resolution. Acer are probably more
value for money, IMHO. Plus I’ve nothing positive to say
about Dell’s customer service.

If you’re going down the nVidia route then I’d suggest
something from the Quadro range. Gaming cards do little
for speeding up render times in PPro, although you
may see a difference with Open GL in After Effects.Ideally, you’ll have one card (e.g. nVidia or ATI)
for gaming and a seperate HD/SD capture card which will
hardware-accelerate all your video work, taking the
strain off the CPU. For PC, two of the favourites
include:AJA’s Xena range (recommended)
