Bob,
So far, I have not used the XL-H1 Camera nor the console software, so I am afraid I am not your best reference right now.
Anyone with more experience on the matter able to offer their advice?

Interesting. My experience has been otherwise.. I’ve been able to use Canon source footage on anything, but when trying to use Sony time-coded DV tapes, that’s when the stuttering goes in to affect.
I’m not as familiar with Sony, but I’ve been told on multiple occasions that their time-coding is a special “sony-only” method. I’ve never been given any reasoning as to why, other than angry producers claiming it is sony’s “high and mighty” way of making sure you only buy sony products.
–With that said, I’ve never been able to confirm it with anyone who ACTUALLY is in the know with Sony. It’s is merely hear-say. Thought I’d put it up as a general point of interest, and I’m going to continue my research.

oh, yeah. of course. Tony Hawk paired up with febreeze and also eclipse gum, and they manufactured a board for the future… one where skaters can’t see it but still don’t know how to skate.

Just to confirm… you have imported an image sequence into After Effects, and wish to simply remove on frame of the playback?
If I am correct in my assumption, there’s a couple of ways, but I’d recommend going to the frame just BEFORE the frame you want removed. Hit Command+shift+D (or control + Shift + D on PC) to duplicate the layer around that point in the timeline… What that does is it cuts the clip from the original layer where the timeline marker is, and in the newly created layer, it picks up right at that point and continues until the end of the clip.
From here, move the timeline marker to just AFTER the frame you want removed, then hit option + [ (or alt + [ on PC). Then, you just have to drag the clips together so there is no gap between the ending of the first layer, and the beginning of the second layer.
Hope that is what you needed to know.

For a quick video tutorial on the basics of After Effects, visit https://www.creativecow.net/articles/kramer_andrew/aftereffects101/ae_101.html.
That is a tutorial made by a well-known After Effects leader, Andrew Kramer. His stuff is a lot of help. He moves rather quickly so take the time to pause the video should you need to. Hope that helps.

Bruce,
If you could, list for me the settings on the export to tape you have selected in PPro 6.5… That’d give me a much better idea of what the problem might be. I’ve never personally done it to a GL-2, but I’m more than willing to offer any advice I can give.

I bought mine off of http://www.expresscameras.com. The camera shipped fast, and was brand new in the box, as were all the accessories in the package. The accessories it came with are okay, nothing to scream and shout about. My business partner also just purchased one from them, and got the higher package than I did, and he has been very happy with his accessories (the tripod it came with, etc.). My only complaint about the company is the incredibly aggressive salesman I worked with, as he tried again and again and again after I repeatedly told him I wasn’t interested, to upsale me on about a thousand different items that I knew I didn’t need. I stuck to my guns and didn’t give in to his pitches, but be aware that that might happen. His name was Nick, and he was very knowledgable, but very hard to work with. My business partner, on the other hand, had a very pleasant experience with his salesman, and was not bothered at all with any upsales. It all depends on who you talk to. expresscameras has a clean rap sheet with the BBB, and they were my choice after looking into about 30 different companies, both locally and over the net.
I’d take the advice to look at B&H Photo first, but http://www.expresscameras.com is definitely a legit, realiable company, based upon the two experiences I have seen.

spaceman,
There are lots of websites out there that give a lot of information. A lot of the culture’s history is passed on orally, and not much is written down. Two great sites to look at are:
https://www.hmongnet.org/ and even on Wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hmong_peopleHope this satisfies your curiosity.

Thanks for the advice. I’ll try those things out. And yes, “Sib ntsib dua” is Hmong in origin, and it is a way of saying “good bye” or “farewell.” Phoenetically, and altogether, it would sound like “shin gee doa.” (excluding the usage of the tones, which are designated by the last letter of each word, except the ‘a’ on dua… not that you REALLY care.) Xeeb is pronounced “Seng,” it is my Homng name.
