[Andy Edwards] “4) They said I could burn a DATA DVD-R of the whole project, but from my reading in this forum, it looks like the CSS bit does not always transfer when using this approach.”
If you burn the DDP files to the DVD-R the CSS bit will not be affected. It’s a DVD-R of the VIDEO_TS that will not carry the CSS bit.
[Andy Edwards] “I formated my external HD in Disk Utility”
Formatted on the Mac as HPFS? NT won’t know what to do with that. Format the HHD on a Windows machine as NTFS. Your Mac should be able to see it and so will NT.Dave

[Mike Cohen] “is that what you meant?”
No, that is not what he meant. What he is asking for is the ability to use the bin’s micro player (at the top of the bin) to play/scrub the selected clip and set in/out points there.
It might be a little hard to envision if you never saw/used the bin picons in good old edit. Much superior to the nearly useless micro player in PPro’s bin.

Bob,
Give me a call or send an email. (I cannot find either for you though I know they are around here somewhere.)

[hitparader] “Yes, we are well aware of Interactual but their fees and overhead are not practical for his project.”
Since the release of eDVD 4 there are no fees or licenses involved with the use of InterActual. Not that I feel it is the correct solution, but I thought you might want to know that.
I don’t believe there is anyway to “hide” the opposing OS’s files from each other. It doesn’t really matter does it as they won’t be able to execute the other system’s application.
Seems that you need a Macromedia programmer to create the stub. If you burn the “master” on a Mac you should not have any problem with missing resource forks.

Hi Peter,
[Peter Corbett] “The memory leak issues are largely solved.”
Not trying to argue or question your statement but how have you come to this conclusion?

Have you explored the color correction tools in PPro? Do you find them inadequate? If you can make them work to your satisfaction it would certainly simplify your workflow.
[hiostt] “(I think you can’t do transitions same time when cutting in Ppro because AE mess them up).”
I find that importing a sequence into AE usually works pretty well. On occasion a transition might get misunderstood but those are easily corrected in AE.
[hiostt] “3. Open AE project in Ppro using Dynamic Link. Adding transitions and then burn to DVD.”
I would probably render the whole thing out of AE and import the results into a new PPro project. In my experience Dynamic Linking is so system resource intensive that PPro becomes unstable and sluggish. IMO, DL is ultimately less effcient than the old render/import workflow – at least for more complex projects.

Hi Diane!
One answer – Matrox Axio. Start with the SD and buy the HD breakout later when you need full strength HD.
Premiere will be a bit frustrating after your years with edit. (I still cuss at discrete for killing edit every time I fire up the old 6.5 box. Still a joy to work with – particularly after wrestling with Premiere) But with Axio you can get some nice work done in a hurry.

[DangerZone1223] “I use After Effects and/or Cleaner XL. The 5gb mov file grows to 25gb with uncompressed AVI.”
Try rendering out to Microsoft DV/DVCam avi format. It pretty much just repackages the data into the avi file. I always use QuickTime Pro as Vincent suggested. But I usually only have one or two files.
You can stick with the QT files in Premiere but you won’t get realtime performance. The system should get less sluggish after all the imported QT files are conformed but it will still be
less snappy than if you use avi files.Dave

[Steven L. Gotz] “Therefore, there are 30x60x60x24 or 2,592,000 unique addresses in every 24-hour day”
True, at 30fps. At 29.97 there are 2592 fewer addresses. Then you’ve got PAL to consider and all the interesting frame rates that various HD formats bring to the table. (, he said pedantically.)
There are NLEs that will handle timecode “roll-over” but I guess PPro isn’t one of them. Even if a NLE does handle it, it is probably not good practice.
What really surprises me is that the camera could be set to hour 24 in the first place. Seems like a bug in the camera firmware to me.

But does the actual tape time show up in the capture window when playing the tape?
