Can anyone help? I’m having deck configuration problems with my Panasonic 24P camera. My computer reads it, but Avid Express does not. I tried setting the deck to generic, and other things, but nothing works right now. Please help. I just got this software, and I haven’t even been able to use the software yet, b/c of the deck problems.

Ineresting. Thanks.

Thanks alot. I appreciate it. And Kevin thanks about being original, I know what you’re talking about. But I was just wondering how they did that, I had a couple of ideas but wasn’t too sure. If I do try to use it, I’m pretty sure I’ll put a different spin on it. I’m going to try and see if I can find the After Effects tutorial.

And Juan, can the Pansonic 100 and/or 100A camera shoot at a slower rate? And what is slow rate in a film camera?

Also, does anyone know how they have a certain object or person in color, while the rest of the background is in black and white?

Sorry, they just snatched the HD deck out of the edit room. And I can’t remember what the error message was, but I’ll get back to you. Thanks again.

Ok cool, thanks. I checked the avid website and really didn’t find any books on the DS system. But I will check on Ebay. Also, if my job has a manual/courseware book on DS, would I be able to take it to like Kinko’s or somewhere else and copy the book?

Actually I had the settings at 30fps, while the footage was 24p, going into a 30fps project, it still imported it as 24p and needed rendering. After rendering it had a slow stutter problem on playback.

Also, I checked the video, and it stutters on normal playback in the source monitor and the program monitor, it’s not un-rendered video. I tried everything from disabling the programs that starts up with windows, exporting the footage out at 30fps Microsoft DVI and then re-importing it back into a 30fps project, changing my power options from Home/desk to always on which made it worst, and I even tried to talk to the Adobe people themselves which left my system even more screwed up. This has happened before. I played the Microsoft DVI footage in Windows Media Player, and it had no stutter effect, so I’m led to think that it’s a setting or something within Premiere that needs to be changed.

Can anyone help me pass what I’ve done already.
