the PS tiles look as if to be reading 2 fields of an interlace, did you try to de-interlace and then re-import them? also, why no drop shadow? they will pop more.

if your only using the DV for the offline just put a window burn in there from the digi beta. then you will be able to see the TC when you offline and will have frame accuracy for the online from the digi beta.
where ever you heard the bars/first frame thing is a whopping load of BS, if TC drifts or jumps it can happen anywhere.

yes you can use excel from microsoft, we use it all the time to correct stuff. it all opens in colums, you correct it and save when you done.

lacie drive are not built for video, and they said that. if you need to do video you need a G tech drive. they are built to do video and they back that up.

I hear you on all you complants, but do you remember or even know what the first AE’s were like? they were not even 1/8th of what motion is today. and the people at apple know this and hold off on the good stuff / better functions for down the road.

I do network comms, and i always have to output to digi beta, as will you unless you can use Beta SP. but to be homest I have had 4 commercials to date delivered on DVD. all pepsi spots, so maybe your ahead of the curve. I’m doing pepsi on DVD and you have been doing local on DVD. I do know that some better post house can take your DVD and dump it to digi beta, so ask some of the house around the country and see what they say, remeber tape is a dying format once the big guys stop using it and that is just around the corner. So bacjk to your query Digi Beta and thats a 25-35 grand investment, you can rent for the day at about 400 bills, but your gonna need a break out box like the aja IO, or if you know a post house that can handle FCP you can just bring your drive and go thru their system.

could be many things, no e2e, cam cant fake record? but why dont u just record to a dv tape, and then dig from that. yea 2x’s long but you’ll have it all if something goes wrong.

Ok first off avid adrenaline is not stable at all. it has a tendency to dump all media as in the drives vanish and never show up again unless you reformat. it’s slow, it also has poor video codecs. Here’s my best advice buy what YOU want and if it’s a bad mistake you have no one to blame except yourself. In other words take your own chances, yea it’s great to ask advice, but you have to also ask what these people giving advice do on these systems, I edit commercials, cream of the crop when it comes to money and technology. I need the best most up to date gadgets and I have them, FCP-HD, Motion, Shake, DVD pro, Adobe AE/PS, and my 30″ cinema display on my G5 with and Xserve and Xraid. I would never go near an avid again.

I may be late with my reasoning here but here goes. We/ I had 4 adrenalines (not my choice client crap) now I am down to 0 adrenalines, and 4 FCP hd’s. we used the AA for 1 year, i lost so much time,money and life with them crapping out and a host of other BS, PC crap. do your self a favor dont buy your fathers car, do you get what I am saying. you will regret it, and I will be the first to say it. look at it this way FCP made everyone else compete with FCP, thats why avid made the DV and then the adrenaline. if it wasnt for FCP they would have never done any of that, it’s like a DSL line v.s. cable modem all the hype but the same slow service.
