Thanks for all the advice everyone!
So the advice in this thread boils down to this.
- Use Apple sideways scrolling mouse (easiest for me)
- Use arrow on bottom of timeline
- Hit H and use hand tool
-
It could at least be a “user preferences” option.
In my case right now. I am playing back my finished edit but have to get rid of all the lip smacks the speaker made. It helps me greatly to follow the audio track and pen them out.
Maybe there are other ways but this feature should be included. It is only a bad thing if it were included and couldn’t be turned off.

Thanks, this is what I have been doing and it works. I was just hoping there was a way to keep the playhead in the center of the timeline. Seems like such a basic feature that it would have been demanded long ago.

Bye tape. I will miss you too! NOT
Doug Jenson of Vortex media has some very good points in his free EX1 overview video that talk about why digital backups are so much easier than tape! I like the point he makes that, Ok so you have tape, you have 1 copy and it is located in 1 geographic area. If that tape gets damaged then all your footage is damaged.With no tapes you can make easier duplicates of your footage and store them offsite. So, it is actually much safer than tape if you do it right.

Hey Dennis,
Is this the correct fabric from Rosebrand?
Will Rosebrand make pipe pockets?
We are moving our setup to a new location and I need to buy one continuous chroma cloth to run from the top of the wall to 10 feet out from the wall.

Just so you know. Flash Player 9+ supports H.264 so you don’t really need to encode to .flv at all. Just add or change the extension to *.flv and link to it from the code. It will work nicely.
So if you have movie.mov change it to movie.mov.flv or movie.flv.
On my limited inexperienced experience H.264 smokes FLV.

Ok, fair enough.
Thanks Hans

[Ty Ford] “Good morning Elijah,
Yes, in the right circumstances, with the mic placed in the correct position with the person being miced not moving around much, the proper boom mic will result in better sound, but there are any number of situations in which the lav will win over the boom.
Regards,
Ty Ford”
Hi Ty,
I am still learning everyday in this field. Can you give me some situations where a lav will sound better then a boom mic.
I know there are situations where it is more practical to use lavs but I would like to know more about where they will “sound” better. Tell me your secrets!
Cheers,
Elijah

There are no electrical wires crossing or touching your cable are there?
Edit – Also that looks like a long cable which if not sheilded well can act as a nice antenna for picking noise up.
My sprint/nextel phone will bleed onto a quality 6″ cable from a NTG-2 to a XL2.
If the phone is in my pocket in certain areas and the mic is mounted on camera it will bleed into my headphones, with a very very loud and noticeable stutter noise. I have to turn my phone off to shoot, period.
Turn off all the electronic equipment you possibly can to see if this could be your problem. Lights, phones etc. If it is on a laptop unplug from wall and run off battery only. If it is then keep adding stuff back until you find the culprit.

As Ty said, the attenuators on the camera won’t knock it down that to that degree. Here are the Hosa attenuators I have. They are not the highest of quality and one of them had it’s screws loose underneath the sticker that I had to tighten so the switches worked properly. I like these because they do -20, -30 and -40 db and you can use them in conjunction with the built in camera attenuators to get a total arsenal of 6 different attenuation levels.
I needed them quick and they worked well. I am glad to have them in my gear collection.
If a camera can knock it down it will usually have a settings for “mic level” or “line level” for its inputs. Normally found on high end cameras.
Cheers,
