I am moving to Santa Monica in a week and I have my own DVX. Get in touch and we can see if i am a match for what your looking for.

PS, sorry if this is the wrong way to do this on the forum…I don’t know any other wat to get ahold of the poster.
Also, how do we get ahold of each other? The link in your profile does not work.

The only way to get a true sense of what is going on is to hook a camcorder (or DV deck) to the firewire port of your computer and from there hook it to the monitor. As far as I know there is no way to make the playback appear in a 2nd monitor scenario.

Also, you can click the stopwatch in front of the word “rotation” and manipulate that in the same way.

After you have isolated just his face, import it into premiere. Take the shot from the movie and place it in track one in the timeline. Take the “Head Shot” and place it in track two. Put the curser on the still picture and drag the right side until it’s the same length as the video in track one. Make sure the playback point is at the beginning of the clips. Click on the clip in track two to select it. Up in the monitor window select the tab that says “Effect Controls”. Click the arrow in front of the word “Motion”. Click the stopwatch to the left of the “Position” setting. This will create keyframes every time you move the face.
You should now have the face in the middle of the picture in the monitor. In the monitor window drag the face to the correct position. Use the left and right arrow keys to advance the footage frame by frame, or press the space bar to start and stop playback. If you put the face in one position, play the video for a couple of seconds and then put the face in a different place, premiere Pro will put in all the in between frames. This way you don’t have to move it every frame (unless you want to…)

I agree with the other posters here. The centrino’s are fine for power savings, but the “desktop” chipsets will perform better. Absolutley no celerons!!!
Things to look for…
800Mhz front side bus
5400 rpm hard drive (4200 will work though)
DVD Burner
at least 512 meg memory
Dedicated Graphics memory – No Shared Video Memory
That’s all that comes to mind right now.

Can you give some more details about your system?
-What processor / speed
– Size of hard drive(s)
– System Memory
– Operating System
Does it happens all the time or just certian times?

To Export as an AVI file select “Export > Movie” and make sure the preset is “Microsoft DV AVI”. Make sure it is a drive that has enough room to hold the file. 1 hour of DV video will take up about 14 gigs of space. After this I would introduce the chapter markers and Menu’s.
Keep in mind that if the file size equals 6gb, encore will have to decode the stream and then re-encode the video. This will introduce all sorts of compression artifacts and will double or triple the encoding time.

Encore will only encode an AVI file if it is not in the proper format (mpeg2). I have a 3ghz p4 and my encode time on a high quality 2 pass VBR encode is a 1:1 ratio (one hour takes one hour). I would suggest not encoding from premiere, but rather export the file without any encoding and then do it in encore. I would need to see the presets you are using, something is definitely not right. There is no reason at all it should take that long to encode. (Unless you

Also, stick with one type of tape, Dry lube (MQ series) or wet lube (what you can buy at every electronics retailer). Make sure your cleaning tape is the same type also.
