For starters, the NUMERO UNO gotcha is found when people avoid doing a clean install of the system software and FCP5 and instead just update their existing systems and software.
Jerry Hofmann and I talked about this on the phone the other day and we also talked about how most people who do the clean installs are not the ones doing the complaining…

Hi Les,
Have your ears healed after going to the Porcupine Tree concert with me and Denver??? I think I read in the newspaper that two or three people suffered major lacerations and bruising from the sound waves eminating from the pounding of the kick drum — one man, was treated at the scene and given 13 stitches to his chin when he mistakenly walked in front of one of the speaker columns as he returned to his seat. ;o)
But seriously, the quad Opteron -
Hi Brad,
You hold the distinction of being the first guy to post anywhere on the new quad Opteron

Many of your basic questions could be easily answered using the Cow’s search engine. However, in the interest of preserving you from having to do any effort on your part, here is a quick example which may help you understand the difference…
Linear editing: Example: Roll a tape, find a section you want, record it to a place on a time line on another deck; roll first tape, find another sequence, record it to the 2nd deck, etc. (Think a linear, start to finish process)
Non-linear editing: Using software, you can import footage onto a harddrive and edit pulling from anywhere at any time from your files. It does not have to be as in the linear fashion where you have to rewind a tape to get back to a point which you may want to pull footage from. Using non-linear, you can grab anything from anywhere at any time in your project, as it is all available to the editor. Hence, non-linear.
Far from a perfect answer but the example holds.

The best way to say this, at least in my opinion, is that After Effects is a design and motion graphics/cpmpositing tool. Premiere is used to edit entire videos/films which can include *elements* that were created in After Effects.

These kinds of questions are best directed to the Cow’s “Compression Techniques” forum. The search engine used on that forum will get you more than started and then you can ask your specific questions following a little bit of searching around.
That’s the best advice I’d recommend.

[lance herring] “…can someone at least suggest a great dealer or someone knowledgeable about this stuff to refer me to?”
Hi Lance,
One of the best dealers I know which is quite knowledgeable about setting up a Vegas system is https://www.promax.com
Another good dealer is https://www.videoguys.com
Either of these dealers can help you get a system that will work out of the box and be trouble-free for the most part.

Personally, I have never even heard of these two training tools. There are many out there that I *have* seen which are sent to us for review and possible inclusion in the Cow and they are so poorly done that we will not even bother to review them and have no intention of adding them to the site’s After Effects books/DVDs page.

Hi Chris,
You might want to report this on the Cow’s Blackmagic Design forum. Their engineers and tech support team frequent the site very regularly and it sounds like you have a pretty well-documented and clearly articulated bug here (the best kind for helping engineers solve it — rather than the kind of words engineers hate as when people post “It doesn’t work” or something like “This thing sucks”).
The Blackmagic team would more than likely welcome your feedback, Chris.
Best regards,

That banner up in the top-righthand corner of the screen will take you to Artbeats where they have many volumes of these types of effects.
