The original poster said that their color correction was changing the color of their title and the underlying video–I’m assuming they only wanted to change the color of their video.
If that’s the case, they probably (originally) applied their color correction to a filler track above both, which would in turn affect both. To do only the video clip they had to apply their color correction to the video clip only–which I assume they did, since they figured it out.

I’m curious–why do you need to get rid of two tracks? Rather than go through the trouble of removing two, just leave them but don’t patch them in when you edit. Audio takes up very little space, and it hardly seems worth the effort to delete two tracks when you can, simply, ignore them. Again, just curious.

Interesting! I agree with you…anything close to 3 hours is way too long unless you’re cutting the next epic film of the generation, and even then 3 hours is pushing it.

In addition to slow drives, I’m pretty sure the minimum requirements for Media Composer ask for 2 Gig of RAM, even better if you go to 3. Plus, and I’m not really familiar with Macs, but if your Mojo is sharing the same bus as your firewire you’ll have a lot of problems–the Mojo doesn’t like to share resources, so you may need a seperate firewire card (you do on a PC, it might be different on a Mac), and if you do need a firewire card it likely has to go into a specific slot.

It shouldn’t be too difficult to tilt/pivot the image. Select the object you want to tilt/pivot, then select the thing that looks like a wireframe ball in your tool palette. This should throw that wireframe ball type image over your object–move your mouse around it and you’ll see that different a different axis will show when you point to it–the X-Axis, Y-Axis, Z-Axis, and this will lock your movement to that Axis. So if you want it to rotate 360 degrees on the Y-Axis, move your mouse over the X-Axis and rotate your object 360 degrees by clicking on the Axis and dragging right or left.
I don’t know that you can actually animate the camera, but you can animate the objects to make it appear that the camera is moving. So tilt your object how you want it to start, go forward in your timeline, tilt it to where you want it to end, and pull the Z-Axis to make it look like you’re zooming in on it until you land on the sentence you want to see.
Marquee is tricky–I’ve found it helpful to load one of the Marquee templates then dissect it to see how it works. Best of luck!

Is there really a 3 hours limit with Mojo? What happens after 3 hours? Does it just shut down, or quit playing? Odd…I didn’t know that. Then again, I don’t cut 3 hour programs.

If the source monitor is smaller and not attached to your Record monitor, go to your toolsets and choose Source/Record Editing. This should connect the two, and you can resize them together.
If choosing Source/Record Editing doesn’t lock the two monitors together and make them the same size then start looking under your settings–somewhere there’s a setting that clips open in their own monitors (I can’t remember what settings, though, and I’m not in front of a system right now. If you can’t find the setting post here and I’ll check it when I get to work monday)
SIDENOTE: Alt+Double Clicking opens clips and titles (and I think Ctrl+Alt+DoubleClick for sequences) in their own little monitor, much like your clipboard monitor. For those who use Source/Record Editing but want a clip opened in it’s own little monitor, Alt+DoubleClick your clip/title.
If you prefer to keep your source clips opened in a seperate monitor and not attached to the record monitor I think you’re going to be stuck–I don’t believe you can make them larger. Let me know if this works for you.

And the beauty is that both do the exact same thing–tell the time.

Do you have effects that aren’t rendered? If so, render them, even if they’re supposed to be realtime. I assume you’re on a Mojo? You’re limited to 2 streams of 1:1 on a Mojo, I believe. Any more than that and you have to render any effects, or possibly do a mixdown of the entire sequence so you have only one stream of 1:1.

Exactly. Very precisely said. Next time I explain it to someone I may just have to borrow your words–much better said (and understood) than all the mumbo jumbo I had typed before.
Thanks!
Mike.
