OK…I’m askin’

I need more info. Drive speed? Computer config? How full is the harddrive? Been defragged recently?…etc etc.

Any other info about the workflow you can give us? Does it always crash on the same clip? Can you try to re-capture if perhaps that one file is bad…etc.

Dave and David,

Could you be more specific? I’m not following what exactly you’re talking about…continuous timecode…rolling edit tool leaves a frame, etc…

Thanks

[Dave Friend] “16. Easily select multiple clips, on multiple tracks, and create a nested timeline from them. The selections would be moved into a new sequence. This new sequence would be the source clip in the original sequence replacing the clips used to create the nest. (And no, cut & paste is not the same thing.)

This one is so elemental that I keep thinking it must be there somewhere but I haven’t found it yet.”

I get it…a’ la “pre-comp” in AE. That’s a good suggestion.

[Dave Friend] “What I have in mind is to be able to re-scale the display’s area much the way Audition zooms the waveform display in the vertical direction. For instance, if we assume (dangerous I know) that it currently reflects 0dDfs at the full height of the waveform display area I would like it to instead reflect other values. For example, where full display height is at -9dBfs.”

Ah…now I get it. I suppose first we’d have to have some sort of graticule that showed the level before we could bother to scale it with any effect…right now there really isn’t a way to visualize this on the audio track.

[Dave Friend] “13. Zoomable (on the vertical axis) audio waveforms on the timeline”

This one is in there.

When the track is expanded, go to the left side of the timeline window where the track names are and drag the track taller. If you want to scale all audio or video tracks unformly, hold the shift key down while you do it.

Are you looking for the drip hitting the surface or dripping from its source?

What eventual effect do you plan to construct with the shot?

I think many of these are shot below plexi or glass and the drips fall in on the “Z” axis of the shot creating an eventually solid field of color…good for the “Nickelodeon” crowd if that’s appropriate.

Nice list.

For #16, hold down the Alt key and that’ll do the trick.

[George Socka] “Does the ADVC add setup? If not then the waveforms will be wrong for ntsc. Well not the waveform, which should show black = 0, but the signal itself.”

The ADVC-100 is switchable.

Grinner…only you could make me cry over an editing system…

…actually, if I ever could really cope with loss that well, all this old junk including old analog cameras and VTRs and old Macs and edit controllers and analog switchers would be in the dumpster…

There’s so much dead stuff in the back room, it’s like a family reunion at the Bates Motel in here…

Good luck with the new system. Time (and azz-kickin’ RT effects) heal all wounds.

[Kovboy] ”
1. Connect premiere to my ADVC-110 box.
2. Connect my composite signal from the ADVC to my broadcast monitor
3. Connect the FIREWIRE-OUT signal from the ADVC to a seperate computer with DVrack software and a firewireslot (IS THIS POSSIBLE??)
4. Buy a cheap flatscreen monitor for the seperatecomputer and place it on my editing desk.”

No FW loopthru on that unit…it’s either D>A or A>D based on the setting in the front. The back port communicates with computers and the front with cameras.
