It’s great for capture as well. I think the trial version only watermarks captured video, you should be able to use the repair tool without problems.

Talking about Sclive, it also has a function called “Repair a damaged DV-AVI file”, under File > Tools. I’d give that a shot too, it has solved audio errors for me before.

It depends on what format you are working in, and whether or not you plan or zomming in / Panning across the images.
If you are working in DV, and are simply cutting between images, export from your image editor at 648×480 (Photoshop default / square pixels)
If you will be zooming in, the easiest is to just keep them at their native resolution, unless we are talking 8+ Megapixels; in this case you may want to reduce that resolution a little to avoid bogging down your machine.

Premiere WILL run slower as your render more files, especially if you are working from the timeline.
Deleting Preview files should solve some of these issues. For that big of a project, Premiere 2 would really be happy with a dual core CPU. Also make sure you kill all of your non critical processes before you start Premiere.Vince

Yes, you can do what is called “nesting”. You copy an entire track (after you are done with your editing), and paste it into a new sequence, then apply the “Scale” effect to the entire sequence.

And if you do own After Effects a good amount of them can also be used in premiere by simply copying them to the plugin folder.
and using After Effect will be a lot more rewarding than spending twice as much money to make it happen in Premiere.
I’d say, if you shoot in the field, do buy DV Rack, that’s saved me a ton of time countlessly. Other than that, I’d wait until you see a project that requires any of the others.

The safe margins matter if your footage is played on a tube television. In that case what is outside of the margins won’t be seen on the screen. Older televisions can display less of the safe area than new ones but you still need it. Plasma / LCD screen are usually pretty good at displaying most of it.
The part in between the outside and inside lines can be used for non critical parts of your footage, mostly anything but text / titles)
For screen captures, you can simply zoom out of the capture until you see a black border outside the safe areas, using the “motion” settings.

Sure sounds like you have a lot of stuff on that computer. Maybe too many for Premiere to be happy…
3 editing applications on the same computer has to be an issue IMO.

Hi Mat,
Thank for your reply. My reference was unfortunately quite personal. We bought 5 external Lacie drives about 3 years ago, 2 are still standing, 1 running quite hot. Call it bad luck, or a bad batch, but you’ll have to admit that I have a reason to be a little biased when we are putting 100’s of hours of work on each one of these drives for archiving. Ours are basically standing on a shelf, and never moved. They are however running more than just a few hors a day, if that’s what you are referring to as abuse 😉
At home I have three Internal Seagates (these weren’t cheap priced may I add) in my personal editing tower, and 3 external that I use to transfer footage and that’s being moved almost everyday. One internal did fail as I said, the others are doing fine.
As I said in my previous post, I have nothing against your brand, or Western digital for that matter, simply going from my personal experience, and that of several post I’ve seen in other Forum.
I’ d love to hear for others experience so that we can balance this whole thing a little.
Cheers,
Vince
