“or a thought controlled computer – that would be cool.”
For some it might! Who’s going to do my thinking?Redgum Television Productions

G’day Eric,
No, the project file gets stored on drive D (the Raid) with a backup copy on C. We do this so it’s a simple matter of just copying all relevant files (for the client) from our Raid to their external firewire drive for storage/reuse later. They need the project file (at least a copy) along with all the other assets to be able to edit again later.

Eric, we run three editing points all set up the same way…
c:\ Programs (Adobe etc) d:\ 2 x 400Gb Sata Raid +0 Assets including captured files e:\ Preview, audio and temporary files. After trying different configuarations for years this set up proved to be the fastest and most reliable. After the edit we dump all conformed and temporary files and transfer all the Asset files plus the project file via firewire to an external drive which we give to or hold for the client. If we need to re-edit (update) at a later time we simple plug in the external drive, reconform and rerender. This is so quick and convenient that we haven’t lost a single follow up job in three years.

J D Mack is right in a Raid 0 configuration but it is really a false argument because if you bought a 160Gb drive instead of 2 x 80Gb drives your risk is the same. The advantage of Raid 0 over a single drive is speed and throughput. A good Raid is essential for HDV.
Other Raid configurations can be set up, the simplest is Raid +1, two drives, on for backup. If you lose one, then simply replace it.Redgum Television Productions

Ruby,
I would partly agree with Eric. Drop your data rate to 6mb/s but maintain the CBR setting. In principle, the VBR setting allows the software to make a frame by frame judgement on quality and subsequently produce better compression. With a half hour program this is not of concern to you. CBR will maintain your quality.
The problem with playback usually lays with the engineering quality of the playback machine and higher data rates can be seen as the ultimate test.

Why not go to “Project Settings”, General and click on “Scale clips to project dimensions…..”?

Hey Tim,
Maybe Avid has taken over Adobe and are selling their own version 2 of Premiere. Sorry, we’re quickly approaching the industry “funny” season.Redgum Television Productions

Or simply hit the “S” key. On, off, on, off etc.

I ordered the Adobe Suite today for a client and was told it is no longer available. Wonder what that means?

Don’t let Tim see this. He may have some influence at the Adobe factory!
