Hi Lillian,
In all of these cases, we always go for the best quality (in that case uncompressed). But that means a lot of space and very fast drives. Depending on how much footage you have, you could capture uncompressed, then throw everything in Adobe Media Encoder and convert to DV in one shot. Then edit with that and replace with the original footage in your project panel when you are done.
As far as transferring data, you would have to mention what card you are working with. If you have no card, it may be worth renting something like a KIPRO and dump everything in there, realtime. You will then be left with ProRes files, which you wouldn’t have to convert to anything.

Hi Richard,
Clip notes is long gone…
There are a few options, but none bring back markers in the timeline and none are completely free.
One is ProVDN . They had some issues a few weeks back with their review function so I would call to see if that is resolved. Anyway, they actually have a free plan for you to try out or forever if you just have a couple of videos for review.
It also allows your clients to draw over the video, which is really cool.
The other is: ConceptShare, very similar to ProVDN, but more expensive since they charge per user.

Hi John,
First,make sure that your media cache files preference (under Preferences> Media) is set to your external drive. For files that are part of an existing project, you will likely have to delete your previous media cache files for Premiere to start using the new location. Also, make sure that ” Save next to originals when possible.” is unchecked.
That should be it.

No Premiere just isn’t going to be ideal for that.
The problem with tutorials is that they are almost never a money generator, so the time you would spend in After Effects or Premiere trying to make something look good just isn’t worth it, to me at least.

Hi Ginger,
As long as you are working in the proper sequence settings, the most important step at export time is to select square pixels (1.0 PAR) if you are going to the web. 1920×1080,1280×720 or 854×480 (all widescreen formats).

Hi Dylan.
The comps exist in a project (an After Effects Project in this case). You can right click and chose edit original, this will open the actual project with the comps inside it.

On the FCP side, 1.1862 PAR is one way to get a 16:9 image, but you are not left with square pixels, which to will need if you are going to the web. So in the end you still have to stretch or include black borders.

Hi Ryan,
My pointing to the article was for the fact that the image is indeed wider.
If you export pixel for pixel, 720*1.2121=872. So what you are seeing is correct (square pixels wise).
You you need a 16:9 square pixel export (not possible with a DV export, but possible with H.264, Prores etc.), you should able to export as 854×480 (1.0) and you will have perfect 16:9 frame.
You will however have small black bars on the side which can be cropped in the export window.

Hi Phil,
You only need to import the files inside the video folder. They should import with all 4 channels of audio. Not sure about the organize P2, I wouldn’t touch that with a 10 foot stick…
You can select all the files after they’ ve been imported and use the audio mapping menu to choose the channels you want to use.

Hi Ryan,
It’s a bit complicated to explain in a post, so I’ll just post this link.
It explains the issue for PAL, but it’s the same for NTSC.
