Will the drop down fit on both the baby (7′) and the junior boom?

Sounds like a winner, thanks guys.

Have you looked at your system performances at the time of the freezes to see if it’s a load on the CPUs ?
Another thing to try is this:

Right before you run Premiere.

Lorenzo,
I am assuming that one or more of these HDs are external.
Which ones are you using for scratch disk ?

What codec is you video compressed with ?

That should be easy using either the linear wipe effect, or wipe transition. Use the original green screen track and wipe to the corrected and chromakeyed track below it.

Zvi,
Nathan is right about keeping you bitrate at a lower setting. I honestly never ran into issues at 8 MB/s with PCM audio, and I’m sure I sent out over 2000 DVDs by now. Just be ready to ship the client a $50.00 player if they like to buy their AV equipment at deep discounts 😉
You also have to be careful to encode 1 or 2 x to avoid errors on cheaper burners.
As for VBR, it’s only useful above one hour of video. Since 8MB/s should be your max at VBR, if you are encoding at 8MB/s constant, there won’t be any further compression, and you are likely shaving 5 to 8 hours on your total encoding time. (On a 2 pass encode with 4 DVDs).
Do follow Nathan’s advise however. 9 MB/s on DVDR is not recommended unless you are an AV dealer.
To be exact, you can fit up to 63 minutes with PCM at 8MB/s constant. (GOP structure may affect that a little)
After that, it’s VBR world, and you should definitely use a calculator.

That seems like a waste of money, to view a video on a screen no bigger than a viewfinder. You could probably buy a cheap miniDV camcorder for about the same prince (well I’m sure you could even find one for half the price).
But if you ‘re loaded, it’s a cool gadget, I’d buy it in a heart beat !

And with all of that typing, I forgot to mention that with the best bit rate (8 MB/s CBR), you should fit about 1 hour of video. (Depending on the audio codec)
If 1:15 only fiil 4 Gigs, you are compressing too much.
Use a bit rate calculator (Steven has one on his site) and enter the min, avg, max manually.

If you feel bad about “throwing out” content, just give the client a raw DVD as well with the edited version. Call it “outtakes” if you like 🙂
I know that weddings videos are a special case, since the only people watching them are usually just the the bride and groom themselves, but adding content to a DVD just because you have space goes against one of the very basic rules of editing, which is its actual definition: “The removal of unwanted footage.”
Although I only shot one wedding, they were very happy with the 15 minutes I pulled from the 6 hours of tape. Make it snappy, work harder on making those shorter segments creative and enticing.
Cheers,
Vince
