Jon,

I’m glad you said that, because I’ve nearly got a rough cut finished without worrying too much about syncing it to the music (other than big section changes like verse to chorus).

The narrative is working well, which I worried might suffer if I started thinking about the music too early.

I know what you mean about waiting until later to find musical ‘hits’. I’ve noticed quite a few little opportunities to sync with the music, often as simple as footsteps or an actor pointing.

Thanks for the advice.

Thanks Jon, I’ll give that a go. My finger tapping is a bit off.

Having looked at other music videos, they only seem to be strict about edit points being on bars/beats in certain sections of a song.

I think I need to try and do it a bit more because the video is a narrative without dancing or lip syncing, and I want to bind it to the audio a bit more.

My first time- so any comments welcome!

I can’t believe Premier Pro doesn’t have the ‘Edit to the Beat’ feature that the consumer level Elements 4 has.

I’m sure automatic markers would need some manual tweaking, but it would be a good starting point, and a real time saver.

I’ll give the manual asterix markers a go instead.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

The item I found does support 32-bit CardBus though.

If it does work it would represent quite a bargain at

I’m using CS3, so hopefully the documentation will be clear enough.

It helps just knowing what the process is called!

Thank you, that was just what I was looking for.

I will start by editing the raw DV files, which will be MXF’s from a Panasonic HVX200, so I hope the promised MXF update comes out soon- and works!

If that proves too slow, its good to know I’ve got the option to do the offline-online process in PP.

Thanks, thats encouraging- and my PC isn’t so bad!

While I do understand that editing with compressed formats might not be a good idea, what about working with low quality uncompressed versions (eg: 200×150 uncompressed AVI).

Wouldn’t that make for a more fluid editing experience? Or is it too difficult to swap source files like this in Premier Pro anway?
