Was this question ever answered? Can the source and program monitor be ganged?

[Randall Martin]

Exactly how do you do this in premiere CC i.e., gang or synchronize source and program monitors?

I don’t see any way to do this.

I am a current cloud captive at 30.00, soon to go up. So I like this forum as it has no connection with Adobe whose forums I also read. One huge problem for CS6, for me and many others, is that it will not work with my AVCHD files (Panasonic 160 and 130). So, even if the price dropped and the defect continues, I will drop CC in a minute, use CS5 and look for alternatives. Sony Vegas? I am an intermediate level user. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Who has time to try all of this when there are many reports that it doesn’t work.

What is going on with Adobe.

[Randall Martin]

sorry to be in the wrong forum!

I have submitted this problem to Adobe forums with no satisfactory answer. I am not a professional, so can use help.

Video Camera: Canon hmf 41, filming in auto mode, (MXP), 1920×1080(i ?). Mts files from video camera copied to hard drive, imported into CS5, Premiere and After Effects.

Conditions. black background, room lighting from above (incandescent chandelier), extra light thru windows; “test” subject has yellow shirt with criss-cross , blue, white and red stripes; “real” subject: purple patterned shirt, no glasses.

Plays PERFECTLY to TV from camera: i.e., hdmi from camera to TV.

Then: Bad Moire problem with Premiere and After Effects (Vista 64 or Win 7) on both computer monitor and same TV set, particularly for the test subject. The effects are not simply on the shirt, but also on the glasses frame. No moire with media player 12 on Win 7 computer. Moire does not appear in a single frame export from Premiere.

A software problem? All presets still produce moire. Modifying interlacing properties does nothing. Gaussian blur reduces some of it, but I don’t like the results.

Exporting the 1920 x 1080 mts file to mxf format, progressive, eliminates moire, but reduces it to 1440 x 1080.

Questions. Since I plan to be conducting many interviews, I would like to eliminate the moiré to begin with, so don’t have to export, etc. There will be enough editing as it is. What are the consequences of the reduction from 1920 to 1440? It seems that keeping 1920 would be better.

I don’t see how blaming the camera and the subject’s clothing are satisfactory answers to the problem, because the direct connection from the camera to the TV does not show the problem. And also because some software works OK, i.e, media player 12, and exported mxf format works OK with Adobe CS5.

Thanks very much for any help!!!

In the windows fonts, which supposedly AE CS5 uses, there are at least two which have arrows, U2910 and U2192: Arial narrow, and Lucida Console. Nevertheless, no arrows appear in the places they are supposed to in the layer panel.

Continuing with my dingbat brain.

I assume I have to find a font that has “liitle arrows” and then install it in adobe?

Why wouldn’t such a font already be installed when they refer to the arrow?

Thanks for your help.

I probably have a “dingbat” brain, so I have no idea what a dingbat type face is. Whatever, it is on two computers, one running Windows 7, 64, the other Vista Ultimate 64.

Help!

“Little arrows in the span bar in the Layer panel show the direction in which the information is being propagated.”

The only arrows I can find, are when I hover over the “little orange square” and they point in both directions.

I have AE CS 5….
