    Rock on!

    Ugh, that guy is one bit of bad advice after another. Probably would have told Woz not to quit his job at HP.

    Rock on!

    And as soon as you’re done replacing all of your current peripherals with TB capable peripherals – a new format will be rolled out – promising a nano second or two more throughput – LOL – : )

    Back in the day of the pre x os and Motorola processors you could make the argument that an Apple computer was different. These days, once you get beyond the subjective aesthetic appeal of the case; what are you really left with?

    Thanks for that Todd and to Hannes Paulson also for confirming on the specs and of course Dave and Kevin Camp as well. BTW Todd I looked at those roto tuts. Pete O’Connel’s Rotoscoping in AE was very enlightening.

    You know what was really holding up my render? A preset for lightwraping I had learned to make at Maltannon’s site. Once I took that off it rendered out fairly well. I mean from 3.5 hours to 39 minutes. And as it turned out even though I had captured HDV footage in Premiere I was exporting .mov files in the animation codec and importing it into AE. That’s how I came to realize it was the preset. Since when I checked my files they weren’t .mpeg

    so…I’m a jackass. First for not correctly explaining the situation and also for not getting back sooner with the solution. However I’ve been knocked out with the flu and had to finish that job simultaneously. I really do appreciate all the help.

    Still I’ve learned a lot working with this HDV stuff. For instance, I guess you have to export your movies at 1920×1080 square pixel to get them to look right when you bring ’em back to Premiere. Is that right or am I missing something again? I realize HDV is 1440×1080 1.33 but if you export at that aspect when you bring it back it doesn’t look right. Unless of course I did something wrong.

    Thank you Dave. I guess that’s at least something I can tell my client. Don’t try to save money by shooting with an off the shelf HDV camera.

    I’m actually glad to hear that answer as I am increasingly worried that I’m doing something wrong.

    If you don’t mind can I ask you if it is normal that a 9 sec comp containing a single solid with the fractal noise effect on it and 4-5 parameter tweeks should prevent me from a ram preview longer than 7 seconds at full quality? Same specs as above.

    I’m not a basher just feel like something aint right. I have the render multiple frames box checked and have fiddled with the slider without much success. Anything stike you as off?

    Are talking about the “Trim” window? If so hit the T key.

    I wonder if it would work to make a new sequence with the HD settings you want and then drop your entire SD sequence (with the recaptured HD clips) inside the new sequence.

    Thanks Larry,

    I appreciate your response.

    Can’t believe they left that elemental feature off. Oh well.
