If your final delivery format is SD DVD then you should shoot the weddings on a camera like an SD camera like a Sony PD170 which has good low light performance.
HDV wont make SD output look any better and the trade-off for high resolution is reduced low-light performance.
The blurring issue sounds like JVC’s motion smoothing option for 30p. If you turn it off you will have a ‘filmic’ strobe effect. Again you may as well shoot SD 60i and create SD 60i DVDs. Motion will look smoother but not blurry, and progressive displays will just de-interlace it as needed.

You have to select all the files you want to import to PP2 before you can select the ‘numbered stills’ checkbox.

No. Unfortunately. You cant short-cut the swap either. I find the fastest way to switch is to click the source audio/video selector button. You can open a reference monitor with scopes in it though.

A graphic designer friend of mine bought a macbook pro to use for windows XP. It all works fine apparently except XP doesnt scale back the processor usage when idle and so it get very hot and the battery is used more quickly. So he has now switched to OSX…

Nah, dont capture DV footage as uncompressed, its a waste of space with no quality improvement – capturing DV footage is essentially a file transfer of already compressed material.
The idea behind post processing in an uncompressed format is to avoid any recompression that would degrade the image. It also spares any graphics from DV compression before your final MPEG2 compression.
So its DV -> UNCOMPRESSED -> MPEG2

You pretty much just cut out all the bass and treble with an EQ.

Why not import the old project into a new one rather than copying and pasting, then delete unneeded content. I’ve found this creates a nice clean new project.

Hi,
The lack of a shortcut to move between the Source & Program Monitors and the Timeline panes has also frustrated me to no end – I’ve moved from FCP5 to PP2. I avoid the mouse as much as possible.
Adobe PLEASE add at least a programmable shortcut for this.
While I’m at it I’d like the ability to select edit points and move then numerically.
Cheers,
