FIXED:

2) Amazingly, the O or ] keys do not work in the Trimmer. The I works, but hitting O causes the in-point to move to the point where the O was pressed. Crazy!

Neither does the SPACE key to play/pause. However, I have been able to assign < as GOTO IN and > as GOTO OUT and they work fine.

The ‘collapse loop if no selection’ is the killer.

Thank you.

Three more, please:

1) A Bin can be set to : Tree, Region, Summary. None of them show a picon/thumbnail. How do get picons and how do you change there size?

2) Amazingly, the O or ] keys do not work in the Trimmer. The I works, but hitting O causes the in-point to move to the point where the O was pressed. Crazy!

Neither does the SPACE key to play/pause. However, I have been able to assign < as GOTO IN and > as GOTO OUT and they work fine.

3) One can choose the exact transition and drag to a clip overlap. Despite the fact you have already chosen the EXACT one you want, the parameter box opens which you have to manually close. How can this needless behavior be eliminated?

One expert claimed the Preview buffer need not be more than 128MB with 1GB of total RAM.

Shouldn’t the buffer be enough to hold the amount of video that can be pre-buffered? And, isn’t this defined by the Delay before Play value?

So if one is willing to wait no more than 1/2 second, for 1080i60 HDV — how big should the buffer be?

Can the Trimmer accomplish the needed trimming tasks even though it doesn’t have its own monitor.

Needed on-screen (TOOLBAR) buttons (IF POSSIBLE):

Mark In
Mark Out
Goto In
Goto Out
Play
Play-in-to-out

Needed keyboard keys:

Mark In
Mark Out
Goto In
Goto Out
Play
Play-in-to-out

Also needed:

Drag Out point
Drag Out-point

After a clip is trimmed, only the the duration between In and Out should remain. This requires:

Set new poster/picon frame (see below)

Toolbar button and/or keyboard to reset trimmed clip to original captured length.

There needs to be a TC for the Trimmer seperate from the Timeline.

There needs to be a DURATION readout that displays the time between the In and Out points.

Most of all THERE NEEDS TO BE A SLIDER THAT LETS ONE SCROLL THROUGH A SOURCE CLIP.

Do all these functions exist in the Trimmer?

AND, how do you get picons/thumbnails to show-up in the Bin window?

AND, how do you get clip names to show-up on clips in the Timeline window?

Turns-out you have to disable the External Capture application. Which is fine, except that VidCap60 has information on AV/C Subunit so it certainly seems like the one to use. It is called Sony Capture!!!

Why two capture utilities? Why is there an External VidCap60 utility? What’s it for?

“When you invoke the HDV/SDI capture app, under the capture app’s prefs>device choose IEEE/1394 MPEG-2TS (you should see the name of the camera or deck also). The issue at hand could simply be that Decklink is selected as the capture device rather than the HDV device.”

Same thing Sony said to me EXCEPT there is NO “DEVICES” tab under Preferences when you open the File > Capture Video. You get “Sony Video Capture 6.0 – Default”

And, under Options there is Preferences… but there is no devices tab. There are:

General, Disk Mang, Capture, Advanced Capt, Print-to-Tape, and Preview.

There is also no Devices tab under the applications Options > Preferences.

Where are you finding a DEVICES tab anywhere in Vegas?

“I believe your script was different.”

It is different because the the one originally published was written from memory and doesn’t match what’s really in the dialog boxes. Also, this should not need to be done in XP SP2. It looks like something from XP SP1.

“As for editing, Sony help has instructions but Gearshift is easier. How can anyone NOT expect to use proxy files? These files are 4.5 times as big as DV files – huge to work with on today’s computers. And yes, creating them takes some time so sleeping on it is a great idea.”

You don’t need to sell me on Proxy. I wrote the same function 2 years ago for FCP 3 and FCP 4.5 for the original JVCHDV camcorders. I sold many copies of HDVpartner but very few folks really want to wait and now that CineForm and native are available.

[lance herring] “we have the new Z1 camera here and for what it costs, it makes some nice pictures. i have it hooked up here with vegas 6 running… using the internal capture, and it says and it says “device not available.” hmmm did a search on this forum and found only one thread talking about using windows device manager to update some kinda driver for this camera. said to look under “sound, video and game controllers” and update some kinda “subunit” to DVHS, etc etc etc.”

I’ve got PP 1.5 and EDIUS PRO 3 all working perfectly with both JVC and Sony HDV.

But I get the same error message as you do with Vegas 6.

I’ve updated to V6b and also tried the script:

1. Plug in Camera
2. Go to Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager
3. Locate AV/C Tape Device under Sound, video and game controllers
4. Choose Update Driver
5. Choose “No, not this time”
6. Click Next
7. Choose
