Thanks, but I don’t have my previous cs5 install anymore.
I contacted the support team at Cineform and they’ve been awesome – they reset my activation and sent me zip files of all the legacy plugins. Works great now. -
While in theory I agree with the ‘buy a drive, put it on the invoice, hand off to client at the end of the job for safe-keeping’ model, that wouldn’t work in a lot of situations. For example, one client will do 5 spots at the beginning of every month, and they will pull material dating back up to 2 years ago. I have to have that library of footage and graphics stored locally to make the edit manageable. With the ‘buy a drive’ model, the client would have to walk in with 2 dozen drives and connect them all up in order to revise a :30 spot.
In this case I think I could just tack a $50 storage fee onto the edit invoice, which in practice will become a $600/year charge to live on our RAID array.
For other, ‘one-and-done’ type projects, maybe it’s still a $50 storage fee that’s valid for six months from the end of the project, at which point it gets deleted from the RAID and they have to buy a drive if they want it backed up? It’s hard to know at the inception of a project if the client will become a repeat customer or not, therefore it’s hard to know whether their media/projects will need to be accessible 6 months from now.
Am I making any sense? -
UPDATE: removing a layer containing a .psd file seems to have fixed some of the frame-synch issues…. What?

Perfect, thanks a bunch.

Thanks Brian – but how?

Seems like the DVD menu authoring in PPro2 was sort of an undeveloped “feature” meant for more users who didn’t need/want a lot of control – PPro CS3 dropped the whole “export to DVD” option and replaced it with “Export to Encore” which is now bundled with Premiere. I would definitely go for the upgrade and save yourself a headache.

i’m working with all P2 data, so i don’t need an HD I/O card – even if i wanted to work uncompressed i couldn’t with the HVX, so…
-
i’m working mostly with dvcproHD footage – if both those cards are overkill for that sort of application, then what do you suggest?
-
right, but when you have several dozen different bins and folders, that gets pretty tedious. the old version would just generate a nice specific list of everything all at once. oh well

Still no native support for P2/DVCProHD, so I’m switching to Avid
