thanks so much for the info. yes, ddr2. my system can handle a lot of ram — 128gb. 8gb of ram (2 x 4gb) costs about $319 from crucial. i will look at the gtx cards. the quadro 4000 was attractive to me because it is twice the video ram i now have and i found it for $700 (from dell).
and i will check out the solid state drives and benchmark results. thanks!

btw, thanks chris tompkins and dave laronde, that it will be ok to just render out at 29.97.

not sure how to do the quote thing here…
Dave quoted me, and then responded:
“[Lon Waitman] “most of my stuff is created in AE (motion graphics, etc) or is 3d animation – and both”Then it’s pretty easy to work in 29.97, yes?
My main question was not how to go from here, but to work with old project files that were already 30fps.
And I guess I really don’t understand my camera. It has three settings for shooting — regular HDV, 30fps progressive HDV and 24 fps progressive. Aren’t those last two different than 29.97? (and i have mainly shot with the setting at 30fps progressive)

i don’t do a lot of shooting. most of my stuff is created in AE (motion graphics, etc) or is 3d animation – and both, up to this point, have been 30fps progressive).
if i do shoot something, it’s with an old canon HV30 (which shoots 30fps progressive). and i work with a lot of stock footage, and some of it is 30 and some is 29.97. all my actual projects (in premiere and AE) are set up as 30 fps, not 29.97.

I have found a work-around. The problem only exists if I try to open the project file by clicking on it directly. But if I open AE and navigate to the project file and open it that way, the file opens up fine.
Todd – to answer your question: No, no non-standard characters. The names of the problem files have the same characters as many other names of files that are not a problem.

Hey Vince, thanks for your reply. It is not a news story – it is a short, narrative film that I created. And it is being repeatedly used in a TV broadcast format (taken off of youtube) without my permission.

thanks, but i’m looking for a plugin that will create custom animated sky backgrounds – ones that will work with CS5.

dude, i cannot understand how something so annoying and needless has survived so long. so much for the “survival of the fittest” theory…
