The only company I’ve heard doing this with AVI is Canopus back when some of their cards would only work with older AVI or harddrive formats where 2 Gigs was the filesize ceiling…it’s been a while.

Ppro doesn’t have this capability I’m afraid. As for waiting until the next version…I’d start exporting.

I would give you input but PPro running on Axio is more an Axio system than a PPro system and I don’t have an Axio…

If you buy a CineForm system and break that…call me.

🙂

Good luck with your issue.

Sorry, I mean the Matrox forum…

I might try importing that project into a new project (double check for the proper project settings) and see if the project is simply corrupt. v6.5 was good for that every now and again.

My advice would be to seek out an attorney in your area on this.

There are the regulatory differences, the tax differences, the liability differences, and I’ve usually been told by my attorneys when similar questions come up that these differences tend to be weighted based on recent legal precedent.

There are the rules…then there is how it actually works. Only the pros can tell you how it actually works, because there are state-to-state differences as well as states have their own tax codes and insurance/liability laws.

…and yes I know this isn’t very helpful…but I do enjoy your tutorials!

[Seth Bloombaum] “Certainly I’m not an attorney, but I believe that in the absence of any written agreement copyright law favors the creator or author.”

This is probably true. Todd would emerge bloodied, but righteous…

I just cringe at the thought of working all this out after the job is done…

[Seth Bloombaum] “This may be something you discuss with the client – we’re not just talking about industry practices, which may be interpreted differently be different people, we’re also talking about the legal basis of ownership of creative works by their authors.”

“Author” rights get a little fuzzy when it’s a “work-for-hire”. The work wasn’t created as a form of personal expression. On the other hand, most clients don’t know or care and explaining it to them at the end of the job rarely makes them happy, unfortunately.

I think you’ve outlined the solutions yourself…though the problem is not having an agreement on paper, not the client.

More and more clients are asking for source materials these days, the tools are so cheap that everyone wants to be in production.

Get an agreement drawn up and have every client sign it…that outlines the deliverables ahead of time and the almost inevitable sour grapes that will result from this (you, him, or both) won’t be a problem in the future. If your agreement says that you keep the assets and the next client says they want them, then you get an extra fee for that and at least it’s spelled out.

I’m guessing you’ll lose the client instead of deliver all source materials for 2K…or you could try giving him any “dry” assets…basically short of the AE project, and see if that placates him I suppose.

[blondie4fun] “Thanks again for the help
The beginning of the names are being cut off when I view it on the TV..I can see it ok on the editer but not on the TV”

OK, you’ve said that, but in order to help you I need an answer to my question. Is the text cut off by the physical edge of the TV screen, or can you see the edge where it’s cut off as if some invisible thing is covering the text? Is it cut off on the top or the sides? …or both?

“The beginning of the names are cut off when I view it on the TV” wasn’t enough information for me the first time…repeating it gives me no additional insight. I need these detail questions to be answered.

The zones you see in the titler are “viewable area” guides. They exist so that graphics and content don’t go so close to the edge of the screen that they end up behind the plastic bezel on you television set. If your titles are running out beyond those white borders, you need to get them inside to be viewable on a wide variety of televison sets. Befor you post again, verify that your titles are inside these zones.
