I was responding to the MOTU VRHD thread, not Matrox. I’ve no opinion about Matrox or their customer service. I’m glad to hear they have good support.

Try calling their phone number and see what you get.

If you get what I always get (a recording), you’ll know why I could never recommend their products. This isn’t saying that the quality is bad- it’s just that their phone support is somewhere between terrible and non-existent.

Thank you very much. This is kinda sorta what I’ve been doing. I was concerned if this is safe practice, since I’ve been creating many mutlicam clips- which create clips *inside* of the existing clip’s bin. And these bins are what the PA has been adding to and modifying. I’m going to create a separate bin for multicam clips- so they don’t interfere with the bins he is modifying and I am re-importing.

Thanks for your help, and everyone’s too
Creative Cow ROCKS, and also goes moo

(You can tell I’ve been at this too long)

Thank you very much for the quick response. Since I have his project file, I suppose I can export the XML myself (from his project file) and import it into my own project? I’ll give this a try.

thanks again!

To the best of my knowledge 1/3″, 1/2″, & 2/3″ refer to the diagonal measure across the imaging CCD.

Kind of like talking about 17″ monitors, etc.

I too am liking the 500- on paper. If its imaging system matches the 900, it will be a sure winner.

While 4 16GB P2 cards offer a reasonable amount of storage, I’d stick a Firestore on the back. I like the idea of my media being in two places.

[terrycoolidge] “I would like to be able to understand this concept more fully. It’s one of those deals where I feel like I kind of “get it,” but I wouldn’t be able to articulate it, I don’t think. Wondering what was unusual about this circumstance where I ran into a problem. I’ve been using AE for over 10 years, and I can’t say I’ve ever run into this problem before. I did go in and mess with keyframe interpolation settings at one point in an effort to fix this, but I don’t think I did before I noticed the “boomerang” action. Anyone care to explain why I WOULD NOT want to change the default setting for Spatial Interpolation as suggested by djeddy76?”

Just remember that AE lets you control keyframes in both time (temporal) and space. When you adjust temporal keyframes you’re controlling how fast or slow the change is- not the positioning. A good exercise to help you master both types of keyframes is to try to animate a bouncing ball as it moves across the screen. To do it well, you’ll have to adjust both temporal and spatial keyframes.

The first time I plugged in my HDlink I got nothing. I had to plug in the USB port and update it before it would work.
