You should use an NTSC monitor because the color space is different than the RGB computer monitor.
You might ask the question in the Premiere Elements forum too in case it’s something different than Premiere Pro.

Oh yeah, there is that.
But working with large pictures (like 5-7 megapixels) can also slow down the system.
The choice is yours.

Dan,
If you export series of files, they will be individual files, typically an editor or compositor will have a checkbox for “numbered files” so you select the first one then the rest in the series will be there and look like a piece of media in the software. The filmstrip is how Photoshop does this, but I have not used that in a long time. My recommendation would be to make sure you see through to the back in photoshop (no background – just double click the background and use the name Layer01) so it’s using the alpha channel instead of keying out the color. I don’t know how the filmstrip will deal with an alpha though.
Sorry I can’t be more helpful.

You can also do a batch process in Photoshop. It’s very simple – but in addition to just resizing, you could throw a sharpen in the batch which helps sometimes. But then again it (the sharpen) could cause problems with fine lines. If you want to solve it in PPro, copying and pasting will be fine.
Good luck.

If you are going to do it that way, just make the background transparent in Photoshop and the alpha should be retained back in Premiere Pro if you do a series of files that has alpha (.png, .tif, .tga, etc). There is no reason to make it a color then key the color.
You could always roto it in a compositor.

Are you doing Menu>new menu to create your menu? The blue guy?
I change the default menu to the blank menu in the presets and just build it by starting in Encore then use the open in Photoshop option to build it up then it will update back in Encore. If you start to make a menu in PS then import it into Encore then change the original PS file, it will not update. Encore doesn’t link to the original .psd but creates one in the folder that it creates when you save your Encore file. I know it sounds confusing, but that’s how it works. So if you are in Encore and you want to change the background (and have Photoshop on your computer) you can just use the Edit in Photoshop command and put a new background in there.
Good luck,
Don

Have you tried another file type? Series of .tif or .png? Uncompressed or m-jpeg a/b?
I have not had this problem, but rebuild my machines often.

I would not break out to mono.
Try this:
Put one copy of the stereo track on A1 and another on A2. Make sure they are both snapped to the same start point. Maybe A1 is actually the audio synched to V1 then you can either drag the file to V2/A2 or if you know how to do it, select only the audio in the clip window and drag it down to the timeline.
Next drop the Fill Left on A1 and Fill Right on A2. This will make it so that A1 is really a mono clip of just the left track and A2 is a mono clip of the right track. It should play back fine from there. You can now just chop out the parts of each track and leave the checkerboard. Depending on the audio, there may be gliches at the cuts, so you might have to fade out, but again, stay away from the keyframes, just put audio crossfades on them (the default audio transition [which is a crossfade] shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+D) but you might not need them.
You can cut them with the razor tool (just lock the tracks you don’t want to cut) or just put the CTI at the time you want and hit Ctrl+K instead of switching to the razor blade.
Tell me if you need clarification.

Hi,
Those cards are a little overkill unless you are playing games. If you want to save money, an Nvidia 6600 or ATI x600/x700 would be fine, as would be older cards like ATI 9600/9800 and something like an Nvidia 5700/5900.
If it’s working and you can afford it, I would keep the X850.

Rotoscoping can have a different definition depending on who you ask but it’s really a broad term used to paint (masks, paint, etc) on a frame by frame basis.
