there was something about the headless error on an earlier thread. Seems CS4 introduces some new background processes.

similar here – Yesterday I opened an HDV project, files appeared right away, no indexing. Today I opened the same project from same location, it is now indexing the HDV files from scratch. Annoying.

Back in the pre-NLE days you had to stripe (or black) a tape before editing. This required a black burst generator, although if you have black from your timeline going out through firewire or some other connector you might be able to strip the beginning of the tape using the required time code. Then park the deck at say 57:50:00, add a 10 second offset to the sequence start time in your export window, and tell Premiere to export to tape at the current tape position. It is a fudge but short of actual RS422 deck control that is what you have to work with.

If you make your leading big enough, you can just make one title, razor it at each cut point, then use the CROP tool to crop out the unneeded bullet points, and dissolve from clip to clip. In a pinch that is what I do.
If going with a PSD. you can make each bullet point a separate photoshop layer, then import the PSD as a sequence and manipulate it that way.
Or just do the multiple titles method.
Many ways to do the same thing.Mike Cohen

Amazon pays you like 50% of your retail price. You need an ISBN number to get listed.
Do you have a website for your product?
Try Google ad words. -
we have both a 15 and a 25. The 25 works great with Premiere. The 15 has issues with Premiere – we can control it but not capture.

still kind of vague Geoff.

It might be a good idea to scope out Kinkos around the country and use their bandwidth.
FLV sounds like the wrong format for editing – it is highly compressed to begin with, although the new f4v is basically h.264 with a different file extension.
Are your YouTube videos going to be HD?
I think the uploading is going to be a bigger problem than video formats. -
I use Premiere to make money from paying customers. Does that make me a professional? I think so.
Is XYZ software professional? Who cares. It’s software.
Can it get your job done?Yes = Great.
No = Use Something Else.“professional” is one of those words that gets thrown around a lot, but what does it mean.
Back in the early 90’s there was a lot of debate about the phrase “broadcast quality.” BetaSP is, but SVHS isn’t…?
But then America’s Funniest Home Videos became the top rated show on the planet. Suddenly black and white video shot with the Fisher Price video camera(look it up) became “broadcast quality” as long as it included someone getting hit in the coconuts with a whiffle ball(invented in CT by the way, along with PEZ).
The fact that Adobe and Apple use the word “Pro” in the names of their products seems to be an unnecessary use of the word. Avid and Discreet did not have to use the word Pro and plenty of people bought their products. My much blogged about ACE 25 ran on DOS 2.0 and was very unstable depending upon prevailing conditions of relative humidity and moon phase, but I dare say it too was a Pro product.
While I spent many hours with my upper body well inside a 1″ machine replacing parts back in the day, I never called Ampex and asked them if it was a professional product.
Ok, got that off my chest. Anything you want to add Bob Zelin?
