Bob, you’re right, thank you Don. Sorry about that. I’m even worse in with names in person.
As far as Sony verses Canon focus, both my cameras are sony and I would think the focus would be very similar. Maybe because the ax2000 is high def I can see the “out of focus” more clearly than with the pd170. Is that a play on words?
Anyway thank you for your input. I will just have to find the happy medium here. One last thought. When I am fully manual, my iris will change by itself anyway. I Continually have to readjust the iris ring to brighten up the picture. Keep in mind though that I am still learning this camera. -
Thank you for your answer Bob, even though I don’t like it. I guess the reason I was hoping for a more positive answer is that my pd-170 camera did not lose focus nearly as bad as my ax2000. And they are used in the exact same situations. The ax2000 is much worse!
Ok, enough crying. Thanks again for your response.Ted

I’m using a raid 0 so I don’t see why it wouldn’t be fast enough. But now here’s the thing, I just installed the 5.5 upgrade for cs5 so I tried the suggestion of pulling down a new sequence to test that. Well, it turns out when I imported the proAnimator file into Premiere it already looks flawless in both the left and the right viewer. So I didn’t actually get to test your suggestion.
Thanks for your help though.

Hi Tom, yes it is set for full resolution. I am just baffled.
Thanks, Ted -
UPDATE:
Sorry about being so long but a large oak tree fell on our house and car during a storm and things have been quite hectic.First off, the computer crashing had nothing to do with the problem posted. It turned out to be caused by an Adobe Flash update that was conflicting with the old flash. Sometimes updates can get you into trouble.
Now as for the poor quality. It turns out that it looks good on the TV. I went ahead and finished the DVD anyway and viewed it on the tv and it looks good. I have no idea why it looks good in the preview window but bad in the TL playback window but as long as it looks good as a finished product, I’m happy. Thanks.

I am using ProAnimator as stand alone then importing into Premiere. I tried the HD setting you suggested and now something is causing Premiere to lock up and the screen goes black. Windows completely crashes and resets after a bit. Scarey! Anyway, in ProAnimator the render looks perfect and once again, in the preview window of Premiere it looks correct but when I place the clip (.mov) on the timeline it looks bad and then crashes the computer.
I have never had this happen before.
My video card is the GTX 580 and mercury playback is enabled if that has anything to do with it. -
Todd, Media Browser is greyed out and inoperative. I’m trying to figure out how to activate it.
Also, when I go to ‘Adobe Premiere Help’ it trys to download an update for community help but then says that the installer file is damaged. So I cannot use the help menu

Hey Todd, thanks for replying. No, I don’t even know what Media Browser is. I have used Sony’s Content Manager which does the same thing but time it didn’t work. Thanks for the link I glanced at it and will read it over a few times. I didn’t get a manual for CS5 because I have the teacher addition so I am fighting every time I have to learn something.
Once this wedding is done I will install the .5 upgrade and I am really looking forward to that. I love CS5 but all of my software has to be upgraded as well. $$$ Anyway, I appreciate your help.Ted

Ok, there it is. Why is my SOURCE being interpreted as a 4:3 clip? That’s probably why there is distortion from the timeline but I dodn’t know what setting is causing it.

Yes it does. While recording there is no clue at all that there is a problem. Actually, let me correct myself. Sometimes the problem is bad enough to where when I start and stop (pause) recording that the timecode will start over to zero again. When that happens I know there is going to be a problem but most of the time there is no warning at all. Then when I get home I find the bad video.
