August 17, 2006 at 3:15 am in reply to: What’s the best way to add a freeze/camera flash effect without the flash transition?Why don’t you just add a few frames of the still you made to the end of the scene, essentially extending or freezing the last frame the transition to more frames of the still.
or
Bring your scene to a halt at the flash scene with a speed envelope and extend it a few frames place your still and transition?

Didn’t help. Thanks for the idea.

Things to try:
1. Burn to a different brand media – some brands seem to be much more compatible than others. But even brands are unpredicatable. You will find various manufactures making the same “brand”. You “get what you pay for” can apply here.2. Burn to a +R. While I think generally -R are considered more compatible, who knows.
3. Depending on how good a client he/she is, buy a new cheap DVD player for the client.

Let me see…
You can capture in Vegas from the 2100.
You can capture on the 2100 from your analog source.
As a work around for now why not do two captures. One onto tape in your 2100 and the second from the 2100 to Vegas? You shouldn’t lose anything in the second capture.
The problem sounds to me like a menu setting in your 2100. I have a PD150 at home. When I go home tonight I’ll set it up and see what happens.

I tried reinstalling 11 but it didn’t help. I’m now back to 10 (which doesn’t work). I will try reinstalling 10 over the top of 10 which is the only way you can do it since they won’t let you totally uninstall 10 to get a clean reinstall.
Thanks for the thoughts. -
Can you capture the analog tape on your 2100. In other words copy your tape from analoge to digital on the camera?

I would first try a different fire wire cord.

You could place a little PiP blur over it.
But a more elegant action would be to place identicle scenes on adjacent timelines. Then use cookie cutter to cut out the time on the top scene. This would allow the time to show through from the bottom scene, so at this point there would be no difference. Now use track motion on the bottom scene to move the time display out of the picture, blur the borders a little. It would look a little wierd but possibly better than the time display. -
The problem is that I don’t want to extend the clip, I want to extend the last frame of the shortened clip as a still picture. I wish there was an easier way than ‘taking a picture’ of the last frame , adding it to the end of the clip and then adjusting its length.

If you do this, then you want to extend the end of the clip as a still (so as to add a transition in there) do you have to make a ‘still’ of the last frame and then add it. If you drag the end of the clip it just continues the clip from where you had trimmed it?
