Andrew!
You’ve got me foaming at the mouth with your low light endorsement which I’ve heard elsewhere.
Edited any really elaborate AVCHD footage? Any 2 hour projects with tons of tracks and cuts? The editing is my only worry, otherwise the Canon A1’s would be on Ebay as we speak.

I’m not seeing it in my Vegas 8 (got it because Premiere was SO screwy for a while) but I may not be looking in all the right places.
Noah, I seem to remember Vegas being one of the first if not the 1st to support 24p? I suppose their support for Panny has fallen behind since the flash media revolution.
Premiere CS4 has a selection for it but I don’t own a camera to test with yet.
Not capturing 10 tapes a project sure sounds intriguing.

You could crop left and right in FCP I’m assuming (I use CS4)?
I’m trying to figure out the best way to do the opposite. To bring old DV footage into and HDV project and upsize it (black bars on left and right in 16:9) to fit as a square amidst widescreen footage.
Good luck!

I think hard cuts are good for interviews but in my opinion they are the hardest to do well.
You may have to play with your disolve lengths and positioning to get them to not look jerky and as an alternative to fade to black, fade to white can give things an upward lift that seems to wake people up a bit.
Tons of documentaries do some pretty rough, hard cuts. Check some out and you may find that you’re doing fine.

PS, I lied, I did install Bridge and Encore, I just turned Bridge off.
***One Note: It may be that going from .AVI to uncompressed .AVI is time consuming? Does Premiere capture in uncompressed .AVI?

Almost every Premiere user I know now owns a copy of Vegas as a workaround. I too jumped on that bandwagon and it’s worked fine. Were it not for the significantly different interface (my fingers have lots of keys memorized and I’m months behind on my jobs) I think CS4 would be in much bigger trouble.
I am doing OK with mine but I never installed Bridge or Encore which may in fact have been the problem?
Bridge likes to run in the background like….McCaffee.

Well, there’s the good, the bad, and the ugly.
I thought it was garbage when I first used it and I HATE, that I have to use the media encoder to do quick exports of what used to be “movie” or “still” because when you’re exporting 100 stills for a montage it literally takes 10 times as long sending it to ME.
That said, it is kind of cool to be able to send multiple clips to ME and render them all automatically later, once you’re done doing your other work.
I don’t think it’s any slower for longer projects but certainly for some shorter ones it is. It is deceiving because it is VERY time consuming initially before the countdown begins. I actually thought for weeks that it just didn’t work but it’s really doing some kind of dll thing before sending it to ME.
I think it’s the same amount of time once you get it going….really slow for short stuff and abut the same.
I wish they would not have taken away the option to go straight to “movie” (AVI) or Still. Obviously there are no Event editors working for Adobe or they would have been screaming when they killed this critical option which I know has sent many running for Vegas.
I am hopeful that like Panasonic, there are Adobe folks scouring these forums in an effort to improve what appears to be a very premature software release.
I’ve never had more trouble with any software but it IS working fine for me now after months of tweaking and finally buying a computer specifically for CS4.

I’ve done all right with my Dell Studio XPS 435T i7.
I’ve edited a couple 2 hour DV projects and I’m currently working on a 90 minute HDV project (about 30 minutes in but I work with 1 hour (full tape) clips.
I think you almost have to build your computer around Premiere which is pretty sad but the Dell I got absolutely rocks and I got it for $1000 at Costco…$1200 with 24″ monitor and CS4 DOES utilize all 8 cores.

I just read a post on DVi that the solution is to revert back to DVD Architect Version 5.0. 5.0a is causing this error message.

I’m VERY happy with my ATI card. Beats my nVidia and is dirt cheap with no issues.
