Not, it shouldn’t. But remember, you should be backing up no matter what. Buy an external hardrive if you have to.

Interesting post Ron. I too, have been using Linux (Suse in my case) for a while and would love to see more larger software companies take the leap.
But, I think Linux still needs to evolve quite a bit more for that to happen. First, look at how many different releases there are. Although they are all simililar in nature, I think that keeps many users away from giving it a shot, and that makes Vista’s version options look pretty good.
I heard Dell is pushing out some machines with Linux pre-installed. I guess the best part of that is that until AOL and the likes catch up, you’ll actually start with a junk free desktop for once 😉
And let’s be honest, although there are several things I am starting to dislike about Vista, including performance issues, there are many more that I love, and that mainstream users love as well.
Also, Linux is still not as easy to install as it should be; some parts of the OS still remind me of the DOS years. Most creative designers don’t want to deal with that side of things.
Finally, with under 3% of the desktop market, I think it would be a hard sell to Adobe shareholders, but hey, we never know, let’s dream a bit, it may come true !

You’ll probably have to look at audition for anything more involved, and even that may not do you much good; either way it will be a very long process.
In Premiere, apply the EQ, or Parametric EQ effect, and reduce the gain on the frequencies the wind is hitting. A noise remover won’t be much help here since it is probably a random noise.
If you have audition, you can try using the noise remover effect, isolating the noise first.

Neil,
There are no fields in an imported image, since it is basically a full frame, the same you would find in progressive video. If the rest of your footage is interlaced, then the image will automatically be interlaced in the same order as the rest of the timeline on export.
As for resolution, it is simple math. If you plan on zooming in at 200%, double the resolultion of the project you are working in.
if you understand PAR, then you’ll probably take in account in Photoshop.

I know Encore doesn’t play well with either one, so, given the similarities between PP2 and Encore menus, clean up time !

It comes down to the simple fact that there is Flash, and then there is Video. Premiere deals with video.

Joel,
Anytime you refer to a personal “deal”, it would be nice to disclose the fact that you are affiliated with it.

Remember that, just as it happens with DV, the quality loss comes from the fact that you are altering the original footage. In color correcting the footage and exporting back to HDV, you are forcing a new compression to HDV, no way around it. We still call that a generation loss from back in the days.
The only way to export without that quality loss is using the uncompressed setting. If you have to go to HDV tape, then you have to choice, but for DVD authoring, you will be better off either exporting to Mpeg2 DVD, or uncompressed if you have the space.

Keep it at 720×480 for the HDTV playback. No point in upscaling if everything is in standard def.
As for the Ipod, the resolution is 320 x 240 I believe.
Your best (cheap) bet here is to purchase Quicktime pro.
You can export from Premiere at 320 x 240 using the Quicktime animation codec if you want to keep an optimum quality and keep it small. Or you can export at 720×480 and let Quicktime Pro do the scaling.
Either way, you’ll need a third party encoder (such as QT Pro) for the conversion to iPod format.
