I was never impressed with exporting anything other than same-as-source quicktime files from the Avid. Very slow. Using quicktime reference will give you the highest quality source file you can get. Your best bet is to use a third party encoding software (I’m comfortable with sorenson). Since Sorenson should have come bundled with your software, it’s free. You can (on the PC side, at least) right click on your sequence in the bin, select ‘send to>DVD>Sorenson’. You’ll get a QT reference. From there, you can set up the dialog box to auto launch Sorenson (or whatever software you desire). It’s fairly seamless once you get it set up.
As far as other compression software, there’s a ton. Do a google search and see what you come up with. I know people who love Procoder. I’ve got Cleaner for Mac, and I’ve never been able to get it to encode anything except avi files. I feel it was a waste of money. Personally, the bundled version of Sorenson (on my PC’s)does a great job for me. I just bought the full version and set up a encoding station using a watch folder. I did find out you don’t get continuous encoding with the $500.00 version – you need to spend 10k for that. So, every day, I’ve got to restart the software and start the watch folder process over again.

If you post some info on your system (do you have mojo, RAM, OS version, Avid version, video card, etc.), it’ll be easier to trouble shoot.

Try control + ] (zoom in) or control + [ (zoom out).

Ahhhh, I didn’t think of it like that.
Thanks!

To add multiple effects, simply hold down the alt (pc)or option (mac) key whilst you drag.
To edit those efects, you must step into your video track:
-make sure the video track you want to step into is active (selected)
-on the bottom right hand part of the timeline window, there are two triangles. One is upside down. Click on the upside down triangle to step into the track. Click on the right side up triangle to step out. If you are in really deep, you’ll need to click several times to get in or out.Jon

Is the Adrenaline different? I’ve get XPress Pro / Meridian, and I don’t do a mixdown. I take a QT file (Yes, it is huge), and put it in our encoding machine and build DVD’s from there. Does Adrenaline require a mixdown when doing a QT reference?

I think any Sony BVW series monitor, or any Ikegami monitor will do the trick. I may be wrong, but I don’t think Sony makes CRT’s now – you’ll have to go through someplace like TVProgear.com (they have a warranty)or ebay which is a crap shoot). If you can afford it, take it to a broadcast maintenace shop shop and ask to have the phosphors calibrated. They’ll put this little spider looking thing on the screen and make sure the RGB guns are firing at the same intensity.

Did you try using the media tool? You might be able to grab your offline from there.

Use a picture in picture (in the effects pallete, in blend), promote to 3D (using the little 3d button in the bottom right hand corner of the effect control panel) and rotate from there.
