Howdy Rich.
I’ve actually started playing around with avid now on a friends pc. I think I’m gonna ditch premiere but thanks for the tip anyhow:)

Cheers Grinner, much appreciated:)
I have a pal camera.
I’d been capturing at dv25 so that’s good to know.
What about when it comes to exporting the finished edit. cs4 has a lot of different options for rendering. I last used “1440 x 1080i 25 high quality” to render. Will that compress the footage? I’ve read film runs at 24p (not that I’m working with film yet) but there’s also an option for “hdtv 1080p 24 high quality” which I assume is for compressing to mix with film. There’s also options for “hdtv 1080p 25” and “hdtv 1080p 29.7” I assume the 29.7 is ntsc. Whats the difference between “1440 x 1080i” and “hdtv 1080i”? Is hdtv 1960?
Sorry to bombard you with all these questions. I’m new to the world of film and trying to get my head around everything asap.

OK cool I like CS4:) A friend uses avid so I can play with his if need. What’s the best codec to capture into with CS4.
Also, as mentioned my first render was a 28g avi. I then exported to mpeg2 which was only 3g. Whats the best format to render to keeping the original quality of the tape.

I’m currently using Premiere Pro cs4 but will hopefully be upgrading to Avid in a few weeks.

Sorry I just noticed there’s a compression section.
