This workflow is not a shortcut based system. You can use the CTI as a snapping point and Ripple out the clip to the CTI and when it snaps let go of the mouse.
While using the Select/Move Tool (V) hold down the Ctrl (PC) or Apple (mac) button and the tool becomes the Ripple Tool – once you let go of the keyboard button you have the Select/Move Tool again.Jon Barrie

Thanks Eddie I was about to say the same thing. Audition will do the 5.1 uncompressed WAV. Bring that into Encore and let encore convert the WAV into the ac3 there. I’ve had plenty of success with it and it sounds great.
The solutions are there in the workflow, just not all in the one place. ac3 is primarily muxed when authoring DVD so it makes sense that its done inside Encore.
People need to understand that one Suite of Apps will have one way of doing its workflow and another Suite (company) will do it another way. Learn the workflows and just accept they are different.Jon Barrie

Flickering usually occurs when a line of information falls into 1 or 1 and a bit pixel line horizontally. When the video is interlaced the field that holds the line shows it then the next field doesn’t show it because it doesn’t fall inside the field so you get a quick succession of there not there = flickering.
One trick is to add 0.5 or 1 point of fast blur. which doesn’t make it blurry but is makes the edges fall over two fields removing the off part of the display.
Another thing is to work in progressive. AE handles progressive great. Premiere’s handle of it needs to be setup as a custom sequence with the fields set to none (Progressive).

Your best option is to use the time remapping feature in AE. Once you place your clip in the comp timeline. Right click and select time>enable time remapping.
Add keyframes at the start and end of the clip. Find the points in the audio you want to have the changes to occur and “Shift gears”. Keyframe those too.
Now you need to select keyframes together and move together so they shift in time, but don’t actually get closer or further apart to maintain 100% time. the gaps you do make bigger will be slower and closer faster. You can use the graph switch to ramp the speed changing keyframes to ease in or ease out and use the handles of the keyframes to control the speed of the eases.

I can guarantee that you are exporting with a compressed codec inside the QT settings.
It certainly aint DV or Uncompressed. If it is then you have a serious problem with the install. I would beg you to define the codec to DV and see how that looks. Let us know what that one looks like.Jon Barrie

What is the avi codec. 22 minutes 138Gig is a massive amount of MB/sec…like 110MB/sec Is it uncompressed?

The feature is gone from I can assess. I personally didn’t see the point in it in CS3. It doesn’t save memory, all rendered files are video clips in themselves. So you are accessing the video rendered or not. Rendering is only for playback anyway. When you export at the end of a project the rendered sections amount to nothing. I think it was a gimmick in CS3 and I’m glad the pulled it in CS4. What they should put in there is a resolution quality function for better RT playback. Like AE has Full/Half/Qtr res.

Turn off the VTR or camera and you’ll get instant playback and stopping. The reason you’re hearing the offset is that it is routing through the VTR or camera’s hardware and there is a lag. The audio is also probably not following the video through the firewire. These are all settings in the Playback options (right click the program panel).

All I can say is that Adobe are working on something. It won’t be for CS3. I can’t speculate. All I can say is that PProCS4 has something in the works for FCP import. Don’t know how or when just that it’s being worked on. It may not eventuate? Adobe work on heaps of features that they want to happen then realise it’s too unstable and have to pull it. Look at the AAF support in CS4. That had to be pulled last minute from CS4 retail release. AAF is set to come back in the first CS4 update. Until then EDL is the old tried and true.

You should be able to import the DV captured files. I’ve done this and it worked fine. It appears the message you got is because you tried to import the project file, which is CS4 and can’t be imported to CS3. If you have an edit already you’ll need to use the EDL export function to bring it into CS3. AAF can help, but that won’t be brought back to CS4 until end of Nov 08.
