if drag the playhead all the way back to your clip first frame give you headhache, use
the keyboard shortcut shift Z to view all the timeline contain in window or click on home if you have a desktop or fn left arrow if you have a laptop to go to your timeline start or if you have many clip just after drop the clip in the timeline hit the up arrow key to go to the last cut or edit

you right bill, thanks for remind it. i never took care of it even if my friends told me abouy coz its working fine and most of the time i prefer grab footage from a station and use the disc (i think its more good in term of continuous data rate).
I never tried with a card. is it still ok, no drop, trouble grabbing footage?

If its ok i willdefinitely buy a card an dont bother carry the disc anymore

cheers

I do edit on my powerbook 1ghz 768RAM HD fiwire 200.
Depend on what you ant to do. Its no problem but if you use to work on a station you might think about the speed.
Quite slow on a powerbook.
Better max the ram and a 128 graphic card. and firewire 800 , using firewire 400 for deck.
you could have nice workflow with this config but if you have to cut some TVC and client is in a hurry, prefer a station.
At work I’m running a G4 DUAL CPU 1GHZ 1G RAM and a RAId 0 scsi and its twice faster.

U still can make RT with your powerbook and if you dont have to much software or other stuff on your machine it should be fast enough to produce good professional work.

Anyway i do all my freelance job on my powerbook and i bought a pc to encode file to mpeg2 in batch list or render AE files so i could keep working by the time. Well i’m living in china and a PC is about 4OO EURO , so this is why.

hope that helps.

I’ve been looking everywhere for this driver but can’t seems to exist in this world.
I guess the best thing to do its have someone to write a driver to it, but thats and other story 🙂

cheers mates

sad 🙁
Of course Avid need to keep running the business.
I’m a FCP editor but i want to buy a pc as well and try Avid and dont really want to go for mojo.
I guess i have to stay in DV for this config.

cheers mate
