Okay, I’m sold. Having to pay close to 2k for Adobe Pro Premiere, face expensive upgrades, possibly have to upgrade my GPU card again, and be faced with another long learning curve, have been strong factors in influencing my decion. Hopefully, with another build alot of the stability issues that some users have with the software will be resolved. Thanks for everyones input.

Hi John, thanks again for your input. I think my system is just too underpowered to deal with this codec, even with Gearshifts help. I have decided to have a system built -Quad processor, 16 gigs of Ram, the proper card etc. Thanks again for your assistance John, I really appreciate your help.

I think I solved my own problem. I inadvertedly used a rendered project file that showed letterbox. I have to covert my AVCHD files to 4/3 format for delivery to a cable company. And, when I do this it letterboxes the image. I had grabbed a rendered file. I tried every which way to remove the bars in Pan and crop and Track motion, and I now believe it is not possible. To test, I reimported some MTS files from an SCHD card and it imported with no letterbox, but it showed letterbox on the preview window. Then in Pan and Crop I ‘matched the output aspect ratio’ and presto the letterbox was gone in the preview window. PIP should be easy to do now without letterbox! Hope all this make sense.

Gosh, think I could find that anywhere. Cheers.

Thanks Mike, I just watched the webinar for a few minutes and it’s great. Best quality of any I have seen. I didn’t know these were there. There are others too that will help alot. Cheers!

Yes, I understand. But the typical still seems to be about 5 seconds. How do I extend this time. When I try to snap two same stills together I get two events each with the pan and crop symbols, and the keyframe line remains only 5 seconds or so. Hope this makes sense. thks for the help.

Okay, that was a rough one. It turns out the mute button was turned on under the Options tab even though it was turned off on the mixer and track header. Editing AVCHD files on a 1.8 ghz processor is a tad difficult! So, I converted using Neo Scene and installed the audio utility as per the installation manual. The .avi files run smoothly now, with very little stutter. Superlative images. Thankyou Panasonic for this wonderful camera the AF100.

Okay, to be a bit more precise, I am getting audio when I play the clips in the trimmer window. When I play the clips back using the timeline showing the video in the preview window I get no audio readings in the Master audio meter. The audio is showing below the video on the timeline.

Okay, I transcoded some clips using Neoscene. They no longer play in VLC but do with media player. The playback is much smoother and there are no longer any long pauses, but it does slow down in places. Maybe I can live with this as a work around until I can afford a more suitable processor.

Does Sony make minimum recommendations on the processor?
