    Thanks for your answer. Am running current version.
    My problem is solved. Held down space bar while starting Photoshop. There are several solutions to this issue but none worked until this one.

    Problem solved! It appears think was not using the new “source patch” toggle properly. Can’t understand why this did not come up in the last project I cut.
    There were some issues with corrupted files in the mac>windows transfer…files were showing as 15fps. But I have good 29.97 footage from another source. Premiere is swallowing anything I can throw at it.

    Thank you for answering my question.
    As I said above, the OS is Win 7 service pack 1.

    I installed ProRes for Windows…I don’t understand why you say it can’t work.

    Again, would a simple workaround be to make a BluRay then open it up and take the files. Used to do that with DVDs.

    Tim Kolb,
    Thanks for your kind answer.
    We shall look into your suggestions.
    How about making a BluRay of the footage and using the files like you do with a DVD and VOBs?

    I appreciate the information on BrightSign; it is possible that we may take that path. However, in the short run, I would like to have more information on the Adtecs. I do have twenty of them. The documentation for them is not clear…What I need is a “getting started” overview. On another thread, a person emerged who does run Adtecs SignEdje players. He invited me to email him with questions…

    However, I can’t find out how to email another member…can someone please tell me how that works?

    Thanks!

    Thank you gentlemen,

    I took a quick look at BrightSign…and I have heard of them before. I am a lazy cuss…can someone tell me the difference between the BrightSign and the Adtec SignEdje? I have several of the Adtecs…they are worth considerably more than the Brightsigns…or at least they cost considerably more originally. (!)

    First, thanks very much indeed for the advice. It is appreciated.

    I am in an awkward position because I feel I don’t have the ability to give you complete details of what we are doing. However, let me flesh it out a bit more:
    1. The project is for an event which will occur very early next year.The project will be reinstalled at another venue once or twice a year in the future.
    2. The video displays (likely vintage TVs) will display media of a certain era.
    3. The visitor will interact with the entire display by moving an object. Ideally this interactivity would be reflected on some of the display screens. Thus, it would be similar in operation to a video game.

    Am I understanding correctly that a strategy using Max/Jitter might present problems because of the interactivity? I thought Max/Jitter was all about interactivity.
    Watchout is actually much less than was my understanding…Either I was wrong or the price has decreased. I thought it was around $12k.
    As I said, I have limited knowledge in this area…and no knowledge or ability with programming. I have about twenty Adtec Signedje media players; I could sell them to the people putting on the project. However, I sense that they are not comfortable with buying the used media players because of price.
    This is an exciting project for me and I want it to move it ahead in the most efficient possible manner. And thanks once more.

    Thanks, Thomas…They do have someone that can do Max/Jitter. I looked at the website and…frankly…it did not make a lot of sense to me. I am a video guy not a programmer. I am fine with programmer until I get to the “hello world” part. (!) I will relay your suggestions at the next meeting…thanks again.

    Thanks Walter,
    But isn’t Watchout horrifically expensive? Cost is an important consideration….
    If it were not I could supply several Adtec media players for a reasonable price…I have 20 from a business that blew away…They want to own the gear for the project…
