It worked, thanks. I normally make an mpg2 anyway but I have a simple Mac DVD-burning software now that will make a DVD from any file, and so I started with .mp4. What I noticed, however, was that the .mpg2 was quite large, even for a two-hour video (8Gb) and so I had to lower the data rate quite a bit to get it down to 4Gb. I used the regular .mpg2 compression as well to see what would happen and it made a smaller file but it was more letterboxed than full 16×9, so I went with the DVD compression.

Good idea. Let me try it. What do you mean by a Fast CC effect?

Yes, I do actually copy the media to my drive first. I guess I am not making myself clear. In FCP I can decide when I first Log and Transfer media whether or not I want audio and video, just audio or just video. I want to do the same thing in Premiere. If I know in advance I only want the audio portion of the video clip, then I want to be able to import just the audio alone to begin with, no video at all. I can do it FCP. How do I do it in Premiere?

Thanks for that tip. I didn’t know about it, being a newbie to Premiere. However, it assumes that you have already imported the media. So it doesn’t get to my original question–how do I import just the audio or just the video from the SD or P2 card, like I can do in Final Cut?

Thanks! Is that documented anywhere?

It works. I have to select log and capture just like the camera is a tape deck. Interesting. Thank you.

Thank you, but I have two observations: Title Crawl has no automatic carriage return, even when center justified. When you keep typing it just goes off the page, and when I run the roll it is still off the page. Is there some way to fix this?
Also, in Boris 3D, highlighting a row does not allow you to justify just that row–it still justifies the entire page, no matter what you select. That’s the problem, unless I am doing something wrong.

I’m sure with some shows it’s a live DVE move. But I also see it on obviously recorded productions, so I am wondering how one would do it in FCP. Thanks.

I definitely purchased and upgraded at some point because I can output any length of .wmv I want. Thanks for clearing that up.

Yes, I have Flip4Mac. Is that it? I didn’t realize it was embedded in FCP.
