samsung 710n – 17″
19″ would have been nicer (though not necessary), but they were just a little too expensive.

unfortunately no – well, you could do a lot, but it’d be time consuming.
it’s a bugger really….

ps. 7 is worth the upgrade for snapping highlights alone!

try rendering the area around the problem to a new track. if that’s ok, simply replace it in the program. i’ve had a couple of occasions where a ‘glich’ in the original recording has throw the timeline into a wobbly when trying to print to tape….

actually, while i’m on about this – how come my corporate clients manage to string out payments to 90 days – i tried it with telstra (telco), country energy (elec), both of whom laughed at the thought.
edward, may the force be with you, and if not the force, the code…..

just had a client with cutaways on .mod jvc enzio? anyway, dropped them on the tileline and no problem. if there is, it appears you simply rename to .mpg….
but they worked fine for me.

thanks jeremy,
points taken.
what i cant get my old head around is why i can’t play hdv 010100111’s out of a digital deck? i’m not looking to view them, record them – i mean, i can record any signal i like to a dv tape – why can the deck simply behave like a dat tape in a computer backup situation.
yeah, i know the answer is staring me in the face, but i’m half blind….
all the best,

hi chris, nice to hear from you…
(re the missing plugins – i downloaded a trial version of acid, installed, and lo and behold, they’re back!? goodness knows what’s going on but….)
really appreciated your comments, very pertinent to my project, and to the oz market. it seems we have a great many ‘knowledgible’ mba’s running various departments who spend their days reading pc news, icon, and are filled to tips of their their gelled hair with buzz words and little else. ‘oh, but we have to have it in hd!!!’, ‘oh, you’re projecting hd?’, ‘but of course!’. ‘which projector?’ at which point i’m shown a brand spanking new $1k vga projector.
anyway, enough whinging, and it’s not whinging since i don’t need the wankers anymore 😉
fortunately, we’re talking fine art (where ‘fine’ comes into it is debateable sometimes), but most artists are very pedantic about documenting their work – it’s more a case of getting 65mb tiff files than 1.5 jpgs. that said, i appreciate your view of using 4:3 to it’s full extent – especially since i hate talking heads in 16:9 – unless there’s a really interesting background. but i do feel there’s perhaps some pressure building on the 16:9 front – most of the collectors are rich enough to have moved to lcd/plasma, and while those that i know and talked with are pretty much ignorant about hd, they don’t like ‘squashed’ pictures either. from what i gather, most hd is sold to overpaid miners, ethnic’s whose status is derived from their goods and chattles, and sports fanatics who need to see sweat on the golfers brow…..
i played around a bit and found that 720p gave me nice, clean ken burns like moves over stills, and better resolution than sd, obviously. unfortunately, it seems only jvc (ugh!) make a 720p camera. which brings up another few points:
a. can i downconvert 1080 to 720p in camera (sony that is), if not, where do i convert?
b. can i play / edit 720p direct on the timeline, or do i have to use an intermediary?
b. can i play out hdv tape from my dsr11 (i don’t mean view, just firewire transfer)
c. have you played with vv7?
all the best,
leslie
