Hi Sean,
If you want to avoid spending too much, that will rule out digibeta. Why not look at SX.
Miles better than SP, plays back SP tapes in deck, camera and decks also record SX onto SP tape stock (almost doubling the duration) has good low light compensation etc etc
Camera model DNW9-WSP 4:3 / 16:9 switchable, if your in UK you can get one used for well under 10K if you look around.
Deck DNW-A75P, if theres a more reliable deck for the edit suite then i aint come across it yet.
Another option at that quality is DVCPRO 25, but your familiarity with SP makes SX decks the natural progression (ignoring the pricey digibeta)
Hope that helps

When you play it in the source window i presume you are seeing A1 and A2 next to the track tabs, indicating that you have two source tracks.
If so there is a toggle at the back of the A1 and A2 box that selects to listen to it in the source window or not, my thinking is that one is not selected when you are listening in the source window.
Hope that helps

Hey all
Oh the joys of SW debate ! i love it.
What a weird film, which rather than a work on its own stands only as the biggest loose end tie-up in cinematic history !!!
The thing that got me on this film wasn’t the acting, plot, blatant cutting to the dialogue as said elsewhere on this thread, or even as another said the placing of four bladed droids etc in there as the old cool shot having no purpose other than the asthetic. For me they would all be a given before i even walked into the theatre.
What troubled me was in some of the effects. Dont get me wrong i am a big fan of ILM, and some scenes and elements (battle over coruscant etc etc) were amazing but something sat wrong in some scenes.
I think it was almost like a wrong spacial awareness of some of the 3D envirnoments that were constructed. Some of these scenes were, at the embankment beside the Lava lake, particularly when Palpatine shows up, the landing party on coruscant once Anakin and Obi-wan have saved Palpatine etc etc. It happens in a few films were digital keying gets majorly overused. You look at a scene like the AT-AT attack in Empire, the models used whiles about 2 foot tall were genuine bona fide 3D structures, their reaction to the light and camera was believable coupled with a nice matte backdrop which was painted with a perspective that matched the scale of the AT-AT’s. I know that Mattes and stop motion aren’t the way forward, but if you look at the original films the acting is much better and we can relate with the characters and i feel that has got to be something to do with the fact that they are interacting with a set, rather than blindly reading lines without an proper understanding of where they are.
Ah the old days
Just my opinion on it all

Hi,
Options as far as i know are:
export audio to external editor to apply an effect then re-import it
use an audiosuite plugin, think its pitch or something, sorry can’t remember the name off hand
or the other option is that you redigitise the sections audio again but by slowing it down with the jog/shuttle wheel as you digitise
Hope theres a solution there for you

Hi
Dont know much about Xpress sorry, however i run adrenaline here, and if those lines appear with staggered playback it means that the avid is struggling with that particular part of the sequence, this can be linked to the number of avid drives you have, speed of the machine, type of FX used, number of layers etc etc. My advise is render off that section, go to the hamburger menu at the bottom left hand side of the timeline and switch off effect icons etc, and try again. You should be fine.
Hope that helps

the singers are lip syncing to slow playback of their song… the girls are dancing at normal spee… and the whole thing is being shot slow. Wehn played back at full speed, the singerare signing to the track at normal speed and the girls are dancing fast. It’s not a digital effect… it’s a camera effect.
I’ve seen news inserts with this fx, where the reporter is giving a PTC with a busy street behind him, surely he wasn’t lip syncing at a slowed down rate !!!
Is it not possible to the same thing by speeding up the clip, then laying the same clip over the top at normal speed and using animate to cut out the scene behind the reporter? -
Hi Stef,
Dont think you can do it in Adrenaline, you would need to hire a standards convertor and a PAL recording deck to convert it outside the suite.
Hope that helps
