Did you render the montage out with alpha channels?

Haha. No problem.

Highlight all the clips you want to adjust then hit control + or – to raise and lower dB. It helps to have keyframe overlays turned on so you can keep track of the relative volume levels.

I’ve had it happen at multiple places though, all different studios/desks/pads, and the only thing in common is the Mighty Mouse.

[Dan Brockett] When were we talking about HDTV sales? If you went to college and ever took a statistics class, or if you have ever worked in retail or marketing, you know that 99.8% of statistics are meaningless.
You just have a comeback for everything. Re-read my post after you’ve re-read you’re rant about the Canadian tourist campaign and maybe you’ll get it.
[Dan Brockett] “To some, predominantly the artists who create it, it might look cool, but to a huge audience of viewers, it looks about as real as moving Photoshop.”
Where are you getting these “facts” from? You’re just making stuff up now. For the record, watching Avatar in IMAX at Universal City was awesome. I personally like what you call “moving Photoshop” in addition to old Bladerunner style VFX. I’m unsubscribing from this thread.

Entertainment Weekly is hardly a solid source of information. If I used that as a credible resource in my research courses in college, they would have failed me. Besides that, if there is a backlash it’s going to be against 3D, not VFX in general.
To address one of your other points, I think the fact that HDTV sales are on the rise in a bad economy and the significant drop in prices gives enough evidence that people aren’t going to solely watch content on Vimeo or Youtube made with a regular flipcam. For an intelligent guy, you miss one very important point, just because someone watches programs on a laptop, desktop, iPhone, or iPad doesn’t mean they also don’t watch media(keyword being media) on a real TV. It’s not one or the other, it’s both. As someone who makes a living creating bonus DVD content you should already know this.
First you say….
“Sad to say, but the future is pointing toward not needing fast and powerful computers and fast and powerful is a relative thing.”
Then you say…
“Small, cheap and powerful will be what we all are working on and the footprint will be much more on a cloud or in portable computing.”
My original post isn’t valid anymore because you just changed your opinion to match mine. By the way, saying that we’ll be using smaller, cheaper, and faster computers in the future is about as mindblowing as saying “I think it’ll rain in Seattle sometime in the future.” We’re all aware of that. Blackmagic has already made serious advancements on the path to this with their adoption of USB 3.0 tech.

Mix different amounts of keyframed Bad TV, Trails, Earthquake, or some of the Time effects. That combined with a Color Corrector/Magic Bullet works well. You don’t have the completely automated convenience of Twitch, but you can create something really quick once you know what you’re doing.
If you want something automated you can drag a clip with keyframed effects from the timeline into the browser then use it as an effect preset. Copy it in the browser then paste the attributes onto any clip in a sequence with “Scale Attribute Times” checked. This will apply the effect so you won’t have to adjust the keyframes. Making an effect a favorite doesn’t automatically scale the keyframes based on the clip length so that’s why I use that method instead. Just make sure to use the comments section to label your clip preset because renaming a clip you drag to the browser will rename the master clip.

I’ve been having the same issue at my studio. Still haven’t figured it out, but it only happens with the mice, and not my trackball and wacom.

[Miss MC] “I need to edit 1080p footage from a firewire800 drive. Do I have enough processing power to pull this off?”
David, I love eSATA just as much as the next guy, but she didn’t ask if she needed eSATA, she asked if she had enough to edit with. I’m assuming she’s doing offline editing and not laying a sequence off to tape so dropped frames is a non-issue. Besides that, I was referring to her particular situation, not anyone else’s.
If you read her post carefully, she’s already in possession of a Firewire 800 drive and most of those already have an eSATA port. It would be a waste of money if she bought an extra card and an eSATA RAID for a job she already has adequate gear for.
