PPro just doesn’t work well with MPEG on the timeline unless you have the Main Concept plugin…and even then it isn’t going to be anywhere near DV responsiveness.

I’d convert the file to a DV clip first. Got a friend with ProCoder?

What stabilizer plug in is only for DV?

As far as I know Steady Move could care less what you launch it on…it just handles pixels. The same would go for AE’s motion stabilizer.

I use Firefox for almost everything…you do give up the italics and bold usage here at the Cow when you’re not in Explorer, but I’ve found it to be pretty dependable.

My ftp site requires I use Explorer for some odd reason.

On your cookies being reset…that sounds like some sort of virus maybe?

Paul…

What exactly “doesn’t work” when you make a 25p 720 project setting?

Theoretically I can make one here, but I don’t have a 720p HDV camera to test it with…

What the hell?

Yes…I will make some inquiries. Stand by.

Having the normal monitor AND a reference monitor open slows playback considerably on most systems.

[marcbrak] “For instance i have 1 project file festuring a short movie, and one featuring its trailer. Both draw from the same library of clips – that is being conformed TWICE then, once for every project.

Ridiculous, I say. Any solutions?”

I’d have to agree. Unfortunately…there is no way around this in PPro 1.5.

Wow…strange. It doesn’t seem to be there.

I wonder if this was simply an oversight…?

My recommendation would be to simply make a custom project setting using the 720p 30 setting as a base and change the frame rate and save the new setting.

Let us know if that works…I’d be curious to know.

[Video Opp] “They can skip a few versions. It is a choice. For me, if just one new feature saves me only one hour of time or frustration, it is worth the cost of the upgrade. I would have my credit card out every month, if I knew that a feature would save me time.”

Bringing out a revised software package is not a no-cost endeavor. bringing an upgrade out every other quarter is do-able for a plugin or patching a major app, but to re-release an entire major app even twice a year would be a challenge to say the least.

FWIW, I’m with you on the conforming…it can be a pain and should be switchable. For the record, I’m not sure that Adobe is fighting this. After v1, the complaints were pretty plain…however the entire audio portion of the software bases its functionality on the conformed audio concept so there are a lot of items that need re-coding and I suspect that Adobe wasn’t defying user’s complaints…it most likely came down to what was possible to re-do in a given period of time for a dot release.

It’s a pain, no question.

I think the complaint has been heard many times at Adobe…originally it was an effort to reverse the audio fortunes that the other Tim mentions…more realtime, better response, uniform audio data right from the beginning.

It delivers the functionality intended…it just needs to be applied with discretion. We’ll see what the next version brings…
