Here’s a trick that I came across a few months ago.

NewBlue has the Paint Effects bundle for $170.00

They also have a few FX in the Standalone offerings ($30.00 each) that may be of some interest.

If you’re looking for one that moves across your frame, have a look at John Rofrano’s tutorial.

Kyle, Sony has specific instructions for doing this on their site.

You can create a custom preset for those dimensions if you want to.
Just remember to set the PAR to 1.0 (square pixels).
FYI, 1920×1080 and 1440×1080 are the same size image with the PAR being the difference (1.0 vs. 1.333). -
[John Rofrano] “Great info Mike. I had no idea that Windows Movie Maker worked with DV cameras having never used it myself. You learn something new every day! ;-)”
John, I never used it for that purpose either but I remember some of my students talking about it so I decided to take a look into it. To my surprise, it could 🙂

You’ve been bitten by the “replace media bug” and sadly there is no known cure for it.
This is a well known problem in Pro 10 and was supposedly cured in Pro 11 although a few users have still reported it happening there as well.To quote Steve Mann from an old post here on the Cow, “There seems to be no commonality or cause to the problem. No one can reliably reproduce the problem. It’s not repeatable or predictable, so it’s going to be pretty difficult to observe in the lab, let alone fix.”
https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/24/953234It’s not much help but Timeline Tools (a free app) has a display filter that shows only those events that have a mismatch between the Take name displayed in the event, and the media file name that was the source of the take.

My pleasure John. After my ill-informed comment this morning, it’s the least I can do 🙂
Since he uses miniDV tapes, I’d render it out in NTSC DV-AVI format.
WMM can handle that type of file and there would be little if any quality loss from your editing.
Microsoft has a page on doing a print to tape (they call it “publishing”) with W7.

John G, if his old computer is running XP, he has Windows Movie Maker on it and that can be used to do a print to DV tape after getting the file(s) from you (preferably DV to avoid quality loss).
p.s. kudos to him for staying “young at heart” after all these years.
Here are the instructions I found on one web site.
To record a movie back to tape:
Switch your DV camera on and verify that it is in playback mode (often labeled VCR on the camera).
On the File menu, click Save Movie File, and then click DV camera.
Or
In the Movie Tasks pane, under Finish Movie, click Send to DV camera.
If you have more than one DV device powered on and detected by Windows Movie Maker, on the DV Camera page, choose the DV device that contains the tape you want to record your movie to.
On the Cue Your Tape page, using the transport controls on your camera, rewind or fast-forward the tape to the point where you want your movie to be recorded.
NOTE: You should verify that you are not overwriting a portion of the tape that contains content you want to keep.
In the Windows Movie Maker dialog box, click Yes to continue in the wizard.
Wait for your movie to be created and recorded to tape. The time it takes to create and record the movie to tape depends on the length of the movie and the system resources on your computer. You can preview the movie in the LCD display of your DV camera as your movie is recorded to tape.
On the Completing the Save Movie Wizard page, click Finish. -
[John Rofrano] “Hey Mike, did you read the original post?”
Sorry John and John.
Must remember to fully wake up and have a coffee first before responding to any posts 🙁
