On the PP5 timeline… give it a right click and you can link the audio and video together. But, what you should do is export the media… to a new file. Set the work area bar over the clip… then go to file, export, media and click on match sequence settings and then click export and you will have created a new file with the audio and video in sync and ready to go for later use. Make sure you have source range set to work area.

Also, I’ve been told that the extreme change in pressure can effect the imagers (CCDs) resulting in dead pixels!

VariZoom now has tripods! I saw one recently… they are very solid and actually fairly heavy (all metal) AND the right size for smaller cameras like the AF100 or EX1. Most smaller tripods have 75mm heads which will give you leveling capability, but you might consider a 100mm head if you anticipate more add-ons to your camera, such as matte box, rails, monitor, etc… all the things that add weight!

There’s a program called Voltaic (free or very inexpensive). The website is Shedworx.com

Tom,
Thanks for the quick response. I will definitely look into Boris Red 5… I am editing on a 64-bit pc system. Hopefully it is not too expensive!

Yes, the TLCS menu setting! But, you REALLY mean that you have to set “PART” in the Direct Menu setting!

Also… one of the things I noticed about this camera is the fact that the image stabilizer can only be accessed through the menu… so every time you want to turn it off or on you have to go into the menu. The EX3 has a button on the lens, very convenient. But, with finding out why the white balance switch wasn’t working… because the Direct Menu was turned on… I discovered that you can access the TLCS, Image Stabilizer, MF Assist, White Balance, Gain, and Shutter with the Jog Dial in the back of the camera (EX1R)… so this makes it convenient to quickly turn the Image Stabilizer on and off! But, you lose the ability to access the White Balance switch on the side of the camera (but you can still accessing it with the Jog Dial)… but when you turn off the Direct Menu you can’t access the menu with the Jog dial… I guess this is why it is called Direct Menu. AND…really the best setting is the Direct Menu — Part. This enables both the White Balance switch and Shutter as well as accessing the menu with the Jog Dial. So why is it setup this way?

Yup, it worked… turning the direct menu off enables the White Balance switch on the side of the camera…the shutter switch also works… just wondering “out loud to myself”… is this the way it is supposed to work? Seems odd to me.

I will check tomorrow to see if the Direct Menu is turned on… if it is I will turn it off… and we’ll see if that was the problem! Thanks, I will let you know.
