    It in the general Preferences window; I think under either the “files” or “animation” tab. A checkbox: “Nth Serial Numbering”
    [can’t be sure, rendering on my Max wkstation at the moment]

    Hi Victor,

    Although it may seem like it (and you may be getting pressure from family & other adults), senior year in high school is not the time to decide what to do with the rest your life. I’d say you have at least another 10 years to do that… but then I took about 20 years.
    I’d suggest trying to apprentice somewhere, even if that means making coffee and hauling cables and sweeping floors. Plan to watch other people doing the “fun” work for a couple years. Better yet, do that part-time while you do some college-level classes in literature, film theory, history, design, art, music, etc. The good editors I know have a pretty broad aesthetic knowledge outside of just cutting video/film.

    just my thoughts, though.

    Buck – in the meantime…
    Depending on what app you are animating with, there may be an “Nth Serial Numbering” option. There is in 3ds Max (what I use); then when you output 0 – 900 on threes, you files render_0000, render_0001, …render_0300.

    Renaming via Bridge is pretty painless, too.

    –if you are on Windows, you cannot export to ProRes. Only import. (thanks a lot, Apple)

    I have to disagree with Jim, here. Video is only 16-235 if you are working in a SMTPE-based digital workflow. Premiere does not. After Effects does not. Most compositing programs do not. Full-range digital video (0-255) is much more common these days. I believe AVID does use SMPTE standard.
    However- it is a tricky thing, and you do need to know which is which. Perhaps Vegas uses SMPTE range?

    Contact your credit card company (or PayPal if that’s what you used)immediately and tell them of the fraud.

    That should save you your money. Banks don’t like fraudulent software sites either.

    A simple solution might be to mark the file as “read-only.” It would not deter someone with permission from changing it back to “read-write,” but it would prevent casual modifications.

    Tylor,
    I also remembered that BlackMagic has an “HD ‘scopes on a card” card. Does require a 2nd computer to host it, but all in all could be a cost-effective way to get real broadcast-level hardware ‘scopes.
    There might be others I’m not aware of…
