try using the shatter. Use a custom shape so that your leaves are each a piece. Play with where the camera sits and change the gravity direction to get the desired look. It can look pretty good and I think will be less render heavy than PP…..maybe someone can expand on the finer details of doing it this way

i just updated my single SATA drive to two SATA drives striped, with an IDE for system files. I cannot notice a difference at all. I have not actually tested the difference in render times, but I’d say it is very very small. The difference are more in the editing side of things. I can play all my edits in PPro with no lagging. Also can play large files (animation codec) without jittering.

the camera is a native 16:9 CCD.
Do digiBeta compress at 50Mbps? Maybe it would be better at 4:3 because there is less area to compress.

sometimes the re-naming method does not work. Something to do with I-frames orr IPB stream or something techie like that. You will have to use software to rip it to AVI. Checkout http://www.videohelp.com and go to the tools section. There is a list of freeware/trialware for doing exactly what you want. I think the one I used was called DG_Index.

I’m sure everyone here will suggest the series by Chris & Trish Meyer. These books are totally awesome

Check out the tools section of this site.
I had the same problem. When I renamed the .VOB to .MPG they would import into AE but not play properly. I converted them using DG_Index I think it was called.

I just make my viewing windows as big as possible on the right hand screen. Then timline bottom left screen. Others arranged around.
Maybe your view settings are not at best. I’m not in front of my NLE at the moment…but I think if you right click on the screen it will have options for quality. I always select highest. Also, screen size by defauly is set to fit. If you click 100% you will get a better view…..although your monitor may not be big enough show the whole lot.
One thing that bugs me, and someone may know a solution. Is that the source and master windows have to be attached…. My 17i LCD is just too small. I want to have a full size master viewer and then a smaller source viewer that isn’t attached…..

maybe….does PPro have VU metering?

cheers – I will get that plug.
What’s all this about different codecs doing different things to levels. In partivular come codecs changing your vision to 16-235, some not. I always use animation codec cause my spots are so short.
Can you point me towards some more reading? or does scopio come with any? I really want to understand what I’m doing technically.
