It is possible, but in no way will it be easy. You will have to cut the people away from the background and put them on top of a sepia colored copy of the movie. This is generally refered to as “rotoscoping” and is probably best done in After Effects, or even better, in Photoshop. It is a tedious frame by frame task.

Hey Mike!
Is it better to burn to a folder than to burn an ISO file, and if so, why? I never gave it much thought until I just read your post. Do you know?

Is the audio on the sequence, but with no waveform? If so, then delete all of the audio preview files. That will make Premiere Pro conform them again and should bring the audio back.
If the audio is not on the audio tracks, then you somehow deleted it, and have some serious work ahead of you to call up each clip in the source window using the “t” key, and then manually taking the audio from the source window.

Glad to hear you got it working. I use a Mic and a preamp to get the best audio I can, then I clean it up with Audition or Soundbooth.

I count on that. I have been entering some contests and the requirement is 320X240 or 428X240.
I should on a tripod and leave it alone, even if I know I will want to zoom in later. Works great. I just use the HDV frame in a custom 428X240 project and I have all kinds of options.
Heck, sometimes I realize that the footage is better using 4:3 so I use less pixels and get more quality for the same file size – and there is always a file size restriction.

I don’t know about a USB mic, but audio capturing is done with the Audio Mixer, not the Capture window.

Sorry, no. I got the information second hand from other users. But since there are free trials, give them a shot. Go with the most expensive first to get an idea of what is possible. Then try the least expensive. If it is just as good, you have your answer. If it is almost as good, you have a decision to make.
It is pretty subjective, so you will have to judge your footage yourself.

Well, you might need to do what I did last weekend. I wiped out everything and reinstalled Windows. This time, I added a series of programs, created a Resore point, added more apps, another Restore point, etc.
Now if anything goes wrong, I will be able to back up to where it last worked.

Yes, you really want to key out the footage in After Effects. I do this before I make subclips because it is just easier. Then I export using Quicktime Animation. The Pro version of After Effects uses Keylight. Very nice, And the CS3 apps come with Adobe Ultra, what used to be Serious Magic.

There is a problem in Premiere Pro 2.0 that is fixed in CS3. The video scaled down to DVD size from a HDV project is too soft.
A workaround to this is to import the HDV project into a SD project, open the original sequence (don’t nest it) and scale everything down.
I use the Cineform Aspect HD intermediate codec, so I can just export to Cineform HD AVI and import that into a SD project and scale it down. Much faster and easier.
In any case, CS3 fixes the problem. Not only that, it provides a way to author to Blu-Ray in HD frame sizes.
