Cost, what you will use it for and what you can find on each systems comparisons online. Users of one will swear by it if they have had no problems. Matrox have had a close relationship with Adobe for many years now and have one of the most solid Hardware based Uncompressed HD system out there – Axio. They have big fans with this hardware, it is PC based tho. They do have a Mac MXO. Don’t know the full details about its road testing. Black magic are another big player. Cheaper, but not necessarily worse. It does have some instability issues from time to time. If you get an Adobe OpenHD system you should have no problems. (adobe.com)

I’m sorry to tell you that you can’t work that way in PPro, FCP or Avid. Sony Vegas might have their own way of working around that. It’s not a problem, that’s how professional NLEs work. I admire your desire to be efficient. The Capturing mechanism is there to prevent users from potentially bottlenecking the ram and the system. Take the opportunity to stretch your legs while capturing.
Send a request to Adobe about it. Doubt whether it will happen. Now that we are moving into HD and that requires large amounts of HDD writing space. -
Try opening a new project and then importing each sections project like it was a clip. Each imported project will come in a bin/folder. Inside there you’ll find the project files for that edit. Open the sequence for that edit. (rename it the section so you don’t have multiple ‘sequence 1’ names.) You can make a completed Project this way and export your DVD mpeg from the whole thing. Saves you HDD space by not having to render out each section then bring it together, then export to mpeg.

I’ve been keen for this to come back to the CS3 Prod Suite as have many other users. Adobe aren’t going to bring the new Audition 3 to the Mac so it will be used for mixing and then edit original will be available for PC users of the Prod Suite.
Soundbooth is extremely powerful for correcting audio and instantly updates just like CS2 did with Audition. I do miss the link. I’m about to purchase Audition 3 next week. I’m not 100% sure its not available to choose SB or Aud from PPro. Adobe aren’t letting much up with that.

Just a quick note about using images in Premiere Pro, make sure you have the correct settings (pixel count) & aspect ratio to keep circles as circles and so on. Alpha channels are also kept in TIFF files and TGA’s. PSDs will come in as either sequences with the layers in them to use as a nest or as a flattened image. PSDs are also edit original compatible that allows you to open the original file in PS and make the changes to update in PPro.

I worked on a clients project that kept crashing. I reimported it into a new project then removed unused from the project menu. It seemed to stop crashing after that.

Hi Mel,
I have a friend who used an Everio camcorder and regretted ever buying it. The footage was in the moi format which can’t be used on a mac, he just bought a mac too. To answer your question tho, no premiere can’t edit the moi files. Neither can the other NLEs you mention. The moi needs to be converted to another format. I used Powerdirector for my friend, but there is no batch rendering – took ages.
I think changing the .moi/.mod ext to mpg helped, but he needed to work on his mac and it wouldn’t work doing that. PC seemed to see it, may have had issues with audio by memory.

Go to Edit> Preferences> General…
In there change the default still length to whatever you want it to be. Press OK.
This will only start working from now on. You will need to reimport your images, but they will all come in at the set length in the preferences.

Using Xvid is probably not the best codec to be using for editing in the beginning. Which version of PPro are you using?
Make a custom project in Desktop mode and set the rendering to Umcompressed. Then import the PPro project you’ve worked on into that. All your edits will come through but you won’t be restricted by a presets rendering code (ie: DV)

The wrapper of a mov shouldn’t cause any issues in the import of PPro. The codec shouldn’t have issues either. I just did a test from AE 7 into PProCS3 and it worked fine. What’s the error your getting? If you need to use it ASAP and rendering it is an issue you can directly import the AE7 comps like any other piece of footage.
Import> *.aep file> choose the comp/s you want to work with.
Otherwise re-render a test with only a small section of the comp, by adjusting the end point of the work area with the n key to snap to the CTI (time indicator).
