Do you also have After Effects? If so, use the “MOTION TILE” preset to “tile” your image horizontally indefinitely for a “seamless” Fred Flintstone-like background.
I’m not sure if motion tile exists in Premiere, however.

I find that odd, too.
I work on a PC running CS3 at work, and when I checked this morning on my work PC, the preset said nothing about Export to Tape being unavailable.
Now, I’m sure on my Mac at home running CS3 that Export to Tape was unavailable in any HDV project.
I will check again for sure when I get home tonight, however.

It’s CS3 running on Mac OSX. Even in the Premiere HDV preset, it says “Export to tape is not supported.”
Perhaps the OSX version doesn’t support this function. Odd.

Great explanation. Thanks for the information.
Any idea why Premiere won’t let you Export to Tape an HDV project? If that’s disabled, how would you put back on tape a completed HDV project?
(‘m new to the HDV world; I mostly work in SD and DV).

I have a similar unit from Eee PC (same specs, larger screen), and I have the entire CS3 suite installed on it.
While I guess I could use it “in a pinch,” I’d hate to use it for anything important–not so much due to the processor speed, but rather the screen size.

On my Mac, if I hit ALT-LEFT/RIGHT arrow, the selected clip moves either + or – 1 frame at a time.
Very helpful.

I understand. Is that why I’m still able to play without problems a “red line” timeline clip in Premiere Pro CS3 without rendering?
I have a quad core Xeon 2.0 GHz. I guess that’s adequate to do so without rendering.
So, trying different codec/compression combinations in AE trying to “hit” the right one is futile on my part?
On a side note, why in an HDV Premiere project is the Export to Tape… function disabled? How would you output a finished HDV project BACK to tape?

Really? If Premiere needs third-party support to playback an HDV, then what is the file format that Premiere natively render its renders in?
Can’t I just render out of AE in whatever format Premiere’s renders are in?

One thing I also do–especially with large projects–is once it’s completed and the client has approved, I actually DELETE all the raw before I move the completed project off my work PC and onto a external storage drive.
I always name my reels, so if at some point in the future I have to revise a project, I just re-capture the footage.
Sure, that can be time consuming, but I save time in backup/restore withOUT the raw, and I save in storage.
Think of it: why back-up the raw? The tapes are your backup for that.
I DO keep any renders from AE or other items I had to create. But the raw? It’s tossed.

I would do the boot camp dual boot rather than any emulation software. Windows in Parallels or VMFusion runs well, but Premiere is a hefty app, so I don’t expect very good performance in that condition.
Running boot camp would “make” your Mac into a Windows machine, so it would run much better.
Using boot camp is a little more inconvenient, since you’d have to reboot into Windows to use it, but I think you’d be happier with the performance.
