It was pretty much plug-and-play. I didn’t end up doing the final recording, but did do several test recordings and it worked. OK, it MOSTLY worked (once it crashed but every other time it worked.) I assume it was Audition that caused the crash but don’t know for sure.

I was using the 16 channel Onyx and it sounded pretty clean to me.

Thanks, I guess I just assumed that since both are Adobe, Adobe would have optimized its app to work best with its own file formats. I’ll convert to jpg and try again. And by the way, I’ve already downsized all the files to around 2000×2000 or below. I wanted to be able to zoom around in them without obvious bitmapping.

Oh, and one other thing. I tried importing them into AfterEffects and had no problem at all. In fact, I think you can even go over 4k by 4k – but I’m not sure so I’d better just shut up.

Since I’m on a roll, one more thing. I often use stills in Premiere at work and have found another wierdness. When I import a still, it often won’t appear in the monitor window. Instead, I see a green ‘placeholder’. I’ve tried rendering so I can see exactly what I’m getting, no good; it renders around the still but won’t display the still. Since I can’t see the actual graphic as I am building the project, it’s hard to position where the text or graphic elements fall on the screen. But if I turn out a DVD, the graphic is in there, so it does work.

I’ve become so frustrated with Premiere that I’ve ordered a copy of Final Cut to try out. And this is from a guy that spent $1,400 on Adobe’s video production package (the one that includes PhotoshopCS – which is the most amazing program I’ve ever used by the way, followed not far behind by After Effects. Premiere falls somewhere in the middle and Encore is way, way, way, way back in the rear.)
