Hi Jerry,

Where do you find the cache file? I can’t seem to locate mine,
or maybe I’m not recognizing it.

I appreciate Todd’s reply, but as I find the answers I’m going to post them because it’s much easier to read a short list than dig through manuals. So far: here’s what I’ve gleaned. Xperts can feel free to correct me if/when I get it wrong.

Here are my questions, in no particular order.

I want to customize the keyboard.

1.) Does Premiere let you customize the same way Avid and FCP do?
THE ANSWER APPEARS TO BE: NO.

2.) Can I pull up a keyboard image, and drag and drop icons, etc, to customize key functions?
NO.

THANKS! This question has been ANSWERED. – p

Yes Michael,

I probably do mean stretched and barred – I was thinking squeezed top to bottom, not side to side – an important semantical distinction.

Thanks for the setting info. Soon to give it a try.

[Paul Hartel]

Thanks, John.
I’ll give Compressor a try, too.

I don’t know Cat, I’ve never tried that. Maybe some of the other guys who’ve used Duck can tell you. I know the transfer should bring everything over, and link up. Did you downconvert before you edited in FC? That the reason you want to link to the original MXF?

The AMA transfer in Avid, by the way, is a breeze. Love it.

It still pops up occasionally, and I have to shut down, restart, sometimes repair permissions – I don’t know, I just try a few different things, and then I can get back into the program. As soon as I’m done with the project I’m working on I’m just going to wipe the darn drive clean and reinstall everything. I think that should fix this for good.
Keep me posted, and good luck. – Paul

Yes, I’m watching on an HD monitor, but it’s not an HDMI connection; running on a MacPro, so it’s the regular connection – it’s late, mind blanking.

To other other question, it does happen while playing, and it’s more lie a rolling line that rolls down the screen – usually there’s a blip somewhere in the line, sort of like a larger dot in an otherwise simple line, that scrolls down the screen horizontally. Never there when the camera has been locked down; only when the shot involves some movement. Yet when I stop the shot – hit the space bar, for ex., and frame step back, the issue doesn’t appear.

My concern, of course is that the hit or whatever it is will appear in the final product – ultimately this is going out to the web; you know, it may be illusory; I’ll have to check a few low-res exports I did. Even if illusory, it appears to be pretty darn permanent while editing.

Thanks for the reassurance.
No, I know mp4 isn’t specfic. It was just the presence of the xml files that caused me concern. I didn’t know if there was something the DP or cameraman could do in the camera to lock up the workflow from the start, and originally I was thinking of editing this in FC.

Hey guys, quick, simple question I hope.

Will my Mac format an external hard drive so that I can use it to swap files between a Mac and a Windows PC? The FAT32 portables you can buy have a 4 gig file size limit, and, of course, I’m trying to carry quicktime video sequences between two different platforms so my files are much larger.

Is there a quick solution to this?

Thank you!!
