I’d second that. Soundkeys will allow you to isolate specific frequencies, say a kick drum hit and keyframe those points, you then build expression to tie it to whatever value you want changed. Takes a lot of the guess work and frustration out of it…

The upgrade from 5.2 to 5.6.1 is not free…only upgrades from 5.5.x to 5.6.1 are. You’ll need to buy an upgrade from the store ($50), included in the receipt will be the upgrade key to generate your dongle updater file to update your dongle, which will allow you to run the upgrade you have already installed.

It’s definetly possible depending on your resources and workflow. Since your DVD’s are not copy protected (analog or digital) you can copy the files directly from the disc to a folder on the hard drive as their native .VOB files, then convert the .VOB directly to the formats you need. On the PC side, at least, I use Procoder which is capable of converting .VOB files directly to several different formats. Watch folders can be set to automate this process. Then it’s a matter of CPU horsepower.

The answer would be “no”. On a 32bit OS, it is only capable of addressing 4gb of memory. Setting the 3gb switch allows applications to use up to 3gb of the 4gb of available memory (this is normally limited to 2gb). This allows more addressable memory to applications, while reducing the the addressable memory available to the OS…which can be risky. PLenty of stuff on this at Microsoft’s website, just search for /3gb.
A 64 bit OS can address an enormous amount of memory and can create virtual 32bit machines that can run 32bit applications in them allowing the whole 4gb addressable memory to be used. So stuffing your 64bit system with memory could allow you to run several 32bit applications, each with their own little 4gb chunk of memory.
10 years down the road we’ll be wondering how to get past the 16TB memory limitation in order to run our After Effects 10 ram previews in 3d hyper high definition.Erik

Vbrick is nice stuff, however it is primarily aimed at capture and compression to streaming content for pushing over intranet/internet and not file compression/conversion.
The company I work for is considering buying a few of their Windows Media appliances for quick “webcast in a box” approach to webcasting department meetings…since the shoebox sized appliance can be configured by the IT department given to just about anyone and then it is relatively plug and play. Video and audio out from a camera plugs into the back of the box along with an ethernet cable plugged from the box to the wall and you’re webcasting.Erik

I would say he menas cut before it clears the frame. Once the eyes are no longer visible, the viewer will lose interest. So if you cut way after his eyes are out of the frame, say to his ear in a profile shot, the viewer is no longer interested and you’re now boring them with extra info they don’t care about. By cutting just before, you keep the viewers interest and convey that he is leaving the frame, you can safely move on to the next shot.

I use AE to supplement a lot of my edits (mostly corporate video work). AE has a lot more control and many more creative options than various motion graphics effects that are built into most NLE’s. Animated titles, animated lower 3rds, show openers, etc… can all be done in AE with just basic knowledge of AE. The COW has plenty of good tutorials on it.
I think it’s a great addition to any editor’s toolkit. Like I said, quite a few things can be accomplished with just a basic knowledge level. It’s great when you need something in a pinch and/or on a real limited budget. Keylight keyer that is included in AE is one of the best around. Anything to wickedly complicated could be farmed out to some dedicated mograph guys.Erik

I might be stating the obvious, but make sure that you are exporting the sequence by making sure that the timeline window is active, before going to file/export….since it might actually be attempting to export the contents of a bin.

I’ve seen similiar things. You might check your export settings and see if “use marks” and “use enabled tracks” are set. If so either uncheck the options or set an in/out point from begining to end of your sequence and double check to make sure that all your tracks that you want exported are enabled.

I found the same thing. He kind of blends the captions of the illustrations into the text…versus the traditional style of having the captions be supplemental material to the body of the text.
