Good Idea – yes I can do that.

Yep, I thought it was weird also. Maybe I’ll check to see if preferences are trashed just to be sure that has nothing to do with anything.

Dear Chris:

Thanks for the tip. I went to the web site and it looks like a no brainer. THe software is cheap and capable very capable. One question though… What about export to other applications. Can I send the out via Quicktime?

[Richard Martz]

ANother option might be to export the PPT slided to JPEG. There is an option in PPT for that. Then use the high resolution JPEG images instead of the PPT slides. Lots of work but it should look a good bit better.

To duplicate the track you can just select the audio track you need and just copy the track. The next thing you do it to paste that track into the blank audio track.

However you will still have a mono track so using the PAN function will yeild approximately the same result. If you are using a track that is primarily music or sound effects you can sometimes insert a one, two or three frame delay from the original track and simiulate a stereo track. If you try this you can put the original track on channel Left with a hard pan and the delayed track on Channel Right and you can hard pan that opposite the original track as well. Then listen and experiment with both the delay and the amount of pan given to each track. You can arrive at a happy medium that sounds much like an original stereo track.

Be careful though – If you do this to voices you can end up sounding like the Cylons from the original Battlestar Galactica series. SO that is not something I recommend. Enjoy.

DV and HDV are NOT the same data rates.

as I said…
“Having said all that…if you want to use the material for another purpose you can recapture using an analog device and the material will be perfectly usable. Copy your CD using the original dubbed directly to another CD recorder using the analog outputs. Or play it back and capture the recording using the analog outputs of your CD deck connected directly to your computer’s analog (mic) stereo in on your audio card. Today’s electronics are so clean that you’ll hardly notice the difference and even then only on a high quality audio monitor. Recently we were involved in a project where we needed to begin working before the negotiations for the purchase of the music were completed. We simply pulled an analog dub and viola’, we were off working on the project. ”
