Mike and Tim,
thanks for responding, you are exactly right, I would have 6 tapes one for every game. The tape is usually one hour long. I would capture each tape, as Game1, Game2 and so on. I would then edit the hour long tape and keep only the cuts that I want. One hour tape could be edited down to say 15 minutes of actual footage. Depending on the game and footage, I could have 25 different clips from the game. I need to save these clips as actual footage with a name on each clip that I can use in different projects.

I tried your suggestion on a small movie I have and cut the movie up into 6 different clips, (only about a minute long on each cut) as a test. I renamed each cut to something that noted what the clip was about I used Project Manager, and chose

Steven,
Thanks for the info. I understand about the titels, but when you say motion animation in AE, does this include, say a photo montage, with panning and zoom or pulling back on the photo, can this be done easily in PP?
Sorry for the newba question, but still playing with the demo. I need to make some decition for what editor to go with for work.
Thanks for you help.
Mark.

Thanks Vencent and Steven for the quick response.
I think I can deal with the 16 point garbage mattes. Out of curiosity, do you think it is not to pain staking to do some of the masking and 3d space work in AE and import it back to Premiere, I have read that the CS3 series is suppose to integrate really well. Any comment on Encore CS3?

Edward,
I went into Vegas and rendered to avi uncompressed progressive scan. Brought it into DVDA for menu background. It still looked jagged and when previewed, it still looked the same as before, kind of jagged. I went and checked the properties of the avi and it said that it was lower field first, but I know that it was progressive scan, so I clicked on the drop down button and selected “non progressive scan”. Now it looked great and preview great too.
I burned the DVD and viewed it in a DVD player and everything was great.
Thanks for your help on this. It means allot that there are people like you out there willing to lend a hand.

Thanks, Mark.

I some times have the same problem, in the properties of the video file, instead of pre-multiplied, try changing it to some thing else, I’m not in front of my PC now to tell you which one, but I know that you will get different results with deferent alpha channel settings.

Thanks for the response. just an FYI, I do a lot of searching before I make a post, and I did find some post that asked pretty close to what I’m doing, but unfortunately the answer where never completed, at lest they where not in the post.

Bogiesan, something you mentioned lead me to search for a different phrase, I did a search on “extend clip ” and that lead me to time remapping, I tried that out and It worked just fine, I was able to play the whole clip with the small portion in slow motion, but that lead to something else.

First question, what is the difference between Time remapping and Timewarp, both are described as time manipulators, but when I used Timewarp, I liked the stutter effect it did on the slow motion part and would like to keep that. When I did the time remapping, that worked just fine, but it was all smooth. I liked the stutter in slow motion and would like to do that.

I tried to use both Timewarp and Time remapping, but that didn
