Just click on the filters tab on the browser and uncheck that filter. If that is the only filter used on the said clips you can copy the clip in the time line, then highlight the other clips and paste attributes to the others. If you have other filters on any of them you will have to do them one by one in the canvas.

WOW when did they (Sony) make the BKM-143 available? What is the difference between it and the BKM-142 besides $4000.00? I’ve been sleeping and dreaming of the BKM-142 but this could be a reallity. Has anyone had any experience with the Ross HD card?

[Nickel] “I think what they are saying is that the matte finish on the monitor gives a more accurate representations, while the glossy finish may make things look “prettier.””
Could be but it also could be that they’ve always given us a matt screen on lap tops and now they are giving us a glossy (clear) surface. We don’t see mat surfaces on our crt monitors, just glossy. The surface is the only thing they are changing here. If they tried to “candy up” the picture they would need to play with the lcd cells. Maybe they noticed that by useing ire 0 black level with the matt screens we are loosing too much. They say dvd’s look great, especially the blacks.
[Nickel] “Personally, I think I would also like the anti-glare coating, which is not available on the glossy screen.”
The way I read it is, the surface is glossy but if you want mat they will coat it for you as they have been doing in their standard surface up until now. If you go back a read what Apple says, if you want the coating you get the mat screen, they don’t add a non glare coating to the mat screen. If you want it they add a non glare coating to a glossy screen to get mat. My quote from Apple above was cut and pasted from the Apple site.
I don’t know if my photo print comparison has any bearing on the different monitor surfaces or not but as a photographer who has shot and printed and peered at print surfaces through loupes looking for the sharpest results through various lenses etc. I have learned to appreciate good clear imaging. Another anology that has some bearing here is glass itself. Plain glass is glossy and very clear yet museaums spend 50 times as much on non glare glass to try to achive the clarity of plain glass while eliminating the reflections. There are probably over 50 types of non-glare glass on the market yet experts in the field agree that plain clear glass is the sharpest but you must live with the reflections. This sounds to me like the comming of age of laptop screen surfaces.

You’re right, I guess I was excited about it when I saw as it is more suited to my own needs. However the Kreamer units I referred to are just what he needs. They have a 6 channel model at Markertek, the VS-66FW that looks it. Here’s the link:

Laird makes an INTERVAL switcher for firewire.
more info.
This is as close as you can get to a dv production mixer for around $1000.00. Kreamer out of Isrial makes a number of FW switchers too. Go do a search at Markertek for FW Switchers, they have great prices and a good selection.“everything is broken”

This is the 1st I heard of this. With my photography background glossy was the ultimate choice. The detail was superior. For competition, prints were viewed in a controlled enviroment with only 2 light sources in the room supplied at 45′ angles. Prints were mounted on black velvet backdrops. A properly lit and exposed glossy print looked like reality. Matt prints didn’t stand up to this level of detail. You could see the film grain. Matt prints were the choice of clients who displayed prints in uncontrolled enviroments like living rooms where there were reflections etc. For 4×6 prints matt was good because your finger prints didn’t show up all over the surface. The worst drawback with glossy was that fine scratches showed up easily. Cleaning a glossy print with cotton could and would create fine scratches.
Apple describes the difference like this: “Choose the glossy widescreen display to make your graphics, photos, and videos appear with richer color and deeper blacks — great for watching DVD movies. If you prefer a display with anti-glare coating for a matte rather than glossy viewing experience, choose the standard widescreen display.”
Are they saying the matt screen has an added coating? “If you prefer a display with anti-glare coating for a matte rather than glossy viewing experience”
I would like to see a more scientific assessment or these 2 surfaces. The glossy sounds like it is more accurate especially for viewing HD on such a small monitor. This is a common complaint on these forums. It is difficult to focus the new line of “HD” cameras efficiently in the field without a monitor. It would make sense to have the sharpest viewing surface possible on your editing system. We would have to get used to wearing black shirts for editing though.

What I like about sata systems is the abillity to hot swap the drives. I have a client who has me scheduled for 2 more shoots this year and the footage will be added to his promo dvd from last year. (remote wilderness tours) The entire project is still on hard drives on the shelf waiting for the new material to be edited in and re-authored to dvd. By purchaseing extra drive caddys for about $15.00 you can have a dozen or so drives ready to change in your sata docks. If all your machines have extrnal sata card adapters this is a versatile set up and all you do to expand is add actual hard drives plus the $15.00 caddys. One manufacturer I saw recently has a 5 drive enclosure that can be paired with a second one and they make a horizontal rack mount case that holds them both, forming a 10 unit rack system. Now thats expandability! External sata arrays have been the most progressively expanding technology for video storage of late and have stepped up to fill the gap between portable FW drives and high end FC arrays.
For your own storage solution my choice is the sata enclosures but for transfering files or projects between ANY workstations the
“new GDriveQ, which is USB2, FW400 and 800, and e-SATA, all in one case.” [ed]
looks like the most versatile.Things have gotten very sweet in the video storage department lately. About the only thing I hear of crashing are the prices! Gee… someone must be about due to introduce an affordable solid state storage solution.

[dom111] “Is there a utility other than the basic color calibration within the monitors utility?”
Looks like you have been there. The graphics card is the next suspect in the equation. Do you know anyone around with a dual head card you can connect your monitors to or better yet, swap cards with to test.

In the drop down menu, instead of going to the bottom choice- TEXT-SCROLLING TEXT, go to the 1st option under the bar and tone generators which is BORIS then choose TITLE CRAWL. The rest is easy.
