Now the audio is sounding funny, it sounds like its slowing down, then it sounds like its speeding up,then it slows down again.Can you help me on this todd?

Hello, everyone i was really seeking some help with my problem. If anyone can help or have any suggestions i would really be grateful.

Thanks for the information.But i have a question to ask you. Im new to avid, only had it a couple of months.I see the learning curve is deep. Will you explain to me how i go about doing that. step by step.See what im trying to do is. I have an 3d animated effect on my time line that im trying to speed up.I have the clip in slow motion, but im trying to speed it up a little bit. To my satisfaction. I would appreciate it if you can assist me in anyway.

What i mean is that, it doesnt change the curve. When i go to the effect editor and try to apply the acceleration effect. To speed up my animation, it doesn’t work.Every other effect in the effect editior works except for that one. I dont no what it is…..Do you have any suggestions?

hey kieth’

hey kieth’

let me ask you something, for my camera it says 24p and 30p are converted to 60i format….if you think thats kind of wierd…then what is the normal conversion format for 24p and 30p?

[Romel Mebane]

well kieth,
i tried those settings and this is the message that popped up…(exceptioned: video signal present but not captured) i looked at my manual at page 66 and seen the part about 24p and 30p are converted to 60i format…..i dont kow what else to do, i just spent all this money on my camera and avid..and it seems like i cant even get started with my first project….it gots to be a way that i can capture videos..as complex as this camera is and as complex as avid is…its hard for me to believe that i cant capture my videos….this avid media composer 3.5 is the best software out, and wont even capture my videos….is there anything else i can do..are there other suggestions….because i starting to feel like i wasted my money….

well kieth,
my camera is set at 24p at 1080i….so i set the software at 23.97/1080i, and the raster demension at 1440×1080. i tried setting avid at 24p but the video does not come into the source and record monitor. when i set avid at 24p it only gives me an option of 1920×1080 raster.. and the video doesnt come threw…. but when i set the software at 23.97/1080i and the raster demension at 1440×1080 the video comes threw. so i can mix the frame rates, but for some reason i cant capture……it keep saying the (source mob edit rate 24 does not match edit rate 30)…really need your help….

i also tried this approach set my camera at 30p at 1080i…and i set the software at 1080i/ 59.94 and the raster demension at 1440x 1080…..now the video came in the record monitor, but when i tried to capture…this message came up….( video signal present but not captured) hope this can enlighten you on my issue…..
