Export portions of your timeline as AVI files and replace your photoshop images with the avi exports. Imaginate by Canopus is a good program to look at if you are doing a lot of stills

In the end, I think that the price of the cards will have a direct effect on how many of these cameras are sold. Perhaps the ENG market will pay these prices but if Panasonic wants to capture a big marketshare with this revelutionary concept, which I believe that it could, it needs to drop the price of these 8M cards to something more like $300. Instead of thinking in terms of big profits on the cards for a few clients and think more in terms of moderate profits on cameras and cards for many clients.
JMHO

Yes, 1.5 is getting a little “long in the tooth”. Dare I say that with the options that are out there, some will not wait until 2.0 is out before bailing. Comeon Adobe, “show us what ya got!”

I can not for the life of me understand the rational of wanting a long time in between releases. If Adobe discovers only one feature that saves me a couple of hours of work in the course of an average project, the upgrade price is justified in the first couple of days of use. I am sure that by now they are sitting on about ten of these features and I have my credit card out by my computer every day waiting/hoping for these time saving features to be loaded on my workstations, saving me time, and money.
Until then I continue to edit in Edius. Every once and a while I fire up PPro and actually think about starting a project, and then it all comes back to me… The wacko bin structure, the audio conforming… I close the program, check the Adobe site for an update, and then go back to Edius.
The more time that goes, by the more comefortable I am becoming with Edius. Perhaps, if Adobe drags their heals much longer, I’ll put my credit card away, stop checking that Adobe site, and just keep trucking with Edius.

Check your camera settings in the Bin Capture window to make sure they are set for your camera. If there is not a driver for your camera you could try different Pannasonic camera drivers. However, even if you are able to capture, with only one hard drive you are going to run into other problems as you start editing.

I think that most of those who say the PPro is not a professional program, have simply not tried it and are going on what they may have known or heard about Premiere 5 through 6.5. PPro 1.5 is a professional program that alows for great flexability for people with different editing styles. The integration with other Adobe products is wonderful! They are doing some wonderful things to keep pace with HDV.
Having said that, however, if you are shopping, and interested in RT, don’t overlook Edius. I have recently done a number of edits in Edius and have found it to be fast, stable and a whole lot of RT.

Have you checked youe scratch disks to make sure that you are not capturing to your C drive?

Nake sure that your settings show that you want to capture Both Audio and Video in the bin capture window.

I have had a Storm card for about four years and used it with P 6 and 6.5. Unfortunately, Canopus was never able to release stable drivers for PPro and I loved the improvements so much in PPro that my Storm card has been practically idle since PPro was released.
I have purchased every version of Edius that have come out and tried to figure it out each time. But it is very confounding. With each release, however, improvements have been made and user requests have been rapidly adopted. It is maturing fast. With the latest releases you are able to customize your keyboard shortcuts, so that is helping a lot. I am determined to stick with it this time and get past the counter-intuitive UI. It’s nice to have the real time functions of the Storm Card back, and no more bin weirdness or audio conforming – not to mention no crashes …. yet. There is an excellent user group that will help you over most bumps.
Tim,
If Adobe was releasing patches to fix the most obvious problems, or at the very least communicating with their clientele as to what they are working on, what the new release would offer I would perhaps have more interest and loyalty. Believe me I have logged my complaints and suggestions many times, but with no listed “wish list” I feel that there is no accountability. As there is no public record of what users are asking for Adobe programmers are free to work on whatever features they think are the most important. The issues that I have with PPro I have had from the beginning and made my requests known from the release of 1.0. Simple things to fix, obvious things to fix, things that would strengthen the program for everyone. The fact that they were not fixed makes me question the validity of the “feature request” process. No public record, no accountability.

I was very disappointed that there was no new release of PPro announced at NAB. I have been an enthusiastic user of PPro since it was first released. However on large projects where there are thousands of clips referenced, I have found that PPro runs into some problems. The forced audio conforming eats up the hard drives. The bin architecture (which is apparently a carry over from the After Effects design structure and was never meant to work with thousands of clips over multilevel folders) is extremely tedious to work with. And generally speaking, the larger the project, the more PPro tends to slow down and even crash. I was hoping that some of these problems would be addressed in a release of 2.0 in April or May, but it looks like 2.0 is now still many months away. I wish that Adobe would at least release patches to fix some of these obvious problems, to an otherwise fantastic program.
Last month I started a project in Edius Pro, partly to try it out and partly to possibly switch just in case PPro did not come up with 2.0. While I find myself often scratching my head at the UI of Edius, I do have to say that it is nice to have the use of my Storm card back, and I have no more problems getting bogged down with a large project. The bin structure is wonderful and no more audio conforming!!!
