Additional Info. The 32KB MXF file has 0 duration in the associated XML file in the Clip Folder. I am attempting to edit the XML file for the clip that precedes the Zero duration clip – taking out the
code that refers to the bad clip. Wish me luck! -
YouTube is using flash now , but WMV works fine too

Depends on what you plan to edit.
I don’t do uncompressed SD or HD – all DV, DVCProHD, HDV – I think XDCAM will work on SATAII (3GB/s) drives as well. So my solution is now that I use the NexStar Hard Drive Dock and put the video and the scratch on a drive I plug into that. Swapping projects is as easy ejecting one hard drive and inserting another. Back up is as easy as ejecting the drive and putting it on a shelf.
With SATAII drives at $80 for 500GB, it is finally clearing away all the the plugs and drives in my work area. The NexStar Dock is $40 bucks and I am going to have 4 of them shortly. Just get a mother board with enough SATAII slots on it.
I might get a RAID someday for more consistent speed. Also if you don’t keep editing off the same drive, crashed drives are less likely so I don’t need the back up either.
All the software is on the C:\ Drive …

Ah – but the catch seems to be that it only renders the FIRST / or selected time line in each project – not multiple time lines in the same project. Darn.

Apparently they’ve added export to Adobe Media Encoder now:

# It will then proceed to either Export Movie (Alt+FEM) or Export Adobe Media Encoder (Alt+FEE) depending on user settings
# If Adobe Media Encoder was selected, it will hit the Enter key accepting current settings, and wait for the Save File dialog to appear -
Well, if you are editing HDV on an HDV timeline and it plays back fine – then there might be a camera setting you need to check so the camera knows to record the HDV stream. I don’t know much about cameras.
And yes QT on a PC does not do HDV and PC’s can’t read HDV QTs from Macs. Very annoying.

You can delete the empty audio tracks and then your audio will be on track 1.

Uncompressed HD would be 1920×1080. 1440×1080 sounds like HDV or XDCAM. You need to have an HDV Deck to lay HDV to tape. Don;t think you can use tape with XDCAM – would have to export as files.
Why not just give the editor the hard drive with the footage on it?

You can preview HDV footage in the Capture Screen in CS3.
I do it all the time. It only disappears during capture. -
I agree. Capturing in HDV for SD is a good idea. Better picture all around. There is some render time at the end, but that’s a good reason to go to bed…so I plan all my BIG renders for overnight. Also, for interviews, it’s like having 2 cameras, with the ability to “zoom” in on the subject, and avoiding nasty jump cuts.
