Good advice, my thoughts…thanks Sz

I have used dynamic link for Encore. AE is very new to me. I will check out tutorials for further information.
Because there is no one, within any distance to call on if I get in trouble. My concern would be getting back PP CS 6 with out messing up the timeline or opening by accident a new project. I have learned when you know how to do something its easy, when not it can be very confusing. I appreciate you taking the time to point out a another way. High learning curve. Best Sz

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I’m not a AE person, for what I have to do is pretty simple. I appreciate the tips, clips are not very long, so I will take your recommendations and go for it.
Again, appreciate the impute.
Have a great weekend

4 feet of snow, oh dear can make things rather challenging.
I have looked into a few places for rental, so far none have gotten the EV1.
Since you’re the only one I know who has taken the leap, I’m just reading your reports.
If I do the leap, good news…I will probably buy from B & H Photo and they are very good about returns. I try not to do that if possible. I’m in no rush. I will keep checking to see about renting, if possible. I’m attracted to the light weight and I have some good canon glass. I find it surprising that you write that you would stop using the Red, really? Down here, that is the dream camera.

Thanks again for the update
Suzin – NC no snow, 60 degrees but slightly overcast. Which makes for lovely diffusion

Once again, thank you for the update. Nice to read so far so good. Glad you mentioned the 128 GB cards. A friend gifted me two SDXC SanDisk 128 GB cards, with luck if I go the Panasonic path the cards will be a good start.
You are being so very nice, if you lived in the Raleigh N.C. area I’d treat you to lunch. You don’t have to keep me updated, I am so appreciative getting some feedback by a user. thaqnks

Thank you again for the update. From the specs 2.6 lbs. That would feel unusually light, with accessories 4.5 lbs. It will be interesting to find out if it is sturdy. I am not a professional, but I do a lot of filming for independent filmmakers. Sadly I am still using the Panasonic 150, 3.5 – with battery it weights 4.3 lbs. The next camera, I will have for a long time, which is why I am not jumping, a mistake is expensive. I have worked with the Sony S7 loaded it is heavy for me when off tripod. The thought of the EV1 feeling like it could break, hopefully not, is a little concerning. The P 150 though light, feels very solid and has proven can take the work.

Once you start really using it and have time….let me know what you think. I really do appreciate taking the time for updates. I know your probably busy.

Thanks for the update. Scary good/bad? Are you thinking if they work out, replace Sony and the Red..? [that seems surprising everyone here in N.C. are big Red and Sony S7 fans] If I decided to go outside these two…I be going rogue.

If you have time, I would so much appreciate updates on what you really think of the camera, and codecs for editing.
Thanks again, I really do appreciate you taking the time

Thanks for taking the time respond. If possible, could you let me know what you think of the Panasonic EV1?
Thanks for the tip on downloading from Panasonic. Still in the learning process……

The film is done and over with, over year ago [it was on a volunteer help out]. All footage was given the director. Been through the film festivals, theater release…. Out of the blue they were approached by a supposed distributor. Story a little long… seems they have the individual clips…, but not what I could really use – no one knows where it went, no changes are needed and I’m not going to re-edit that bloody film – .they do have the finished full HD version mpeg4.. but it has to be put into .mov It would be easy just to run it through media encoder, but I have to put 1 sec black in the beginning and end. So has to go on the time line then sent to media etc. yes, I know its a boon doggle I’m doing the best I can to help. There you have it…on the other hand I didn’t know you could drag onto new item icon, maybe this boon doggle has a silver lining. I haven’t tried that yet, they have to get to me mpeg4 and trailer.

This is a first, for goodness sakes I hope its the last [Next time I do a volunteer I will store on a separate hard drive hold for seven years like taxes then dump it!]

What was I thinking starts with F ends with K
I hope you take the above sentence with humor that is how it was meant.
