If I need more compositing tools, I use After Effects. Premier just sits there.

I currently have a DVStorm card, but have "issues" with it. I picked up XDV 3 about 5 weeks ago. I'm still in a learning curve, but it has yet to crash on me. It's a different mindset for cutting than Premiere, which in the end all, will improve my skills as I now have to "think" before just dragging clips into the timeline and fudging with them. I do miss being able to work on anything size wise or compression wise as I can in Premiere. That and it's integration with other Adobe programs that I use everyday. For DV work, it's now all XDV 3. The Storm is just a accurate NTSC monitor device for AE. I find XDV 3 to possess an elegant interface and a toolset that's rock solid. Once you get comfortable, it becomes apparent why Avid is 'Avid'. I'm only considering FCP (used v2 and v3... don't really care for it) for it's hardware compatiblity/upgradability. Valerie DVCAM Deck--Which One? - "Perry Mitchell" From: Tim Selander Maybe I'm being dense and missing the obvious (happens a lot when you work in a different country than your own :-) but it seems to me that my DV deck is faithfully recording what I feed it and spitting it back out as recorded -- isn't that what we want of our decks? GL1 or VX2000 - "Perry Mitchell" Re: black bars at side. Pretty much all digital formats record 720 samples across the width of the image. Not all of this relates to the 'active' 4:3 or 16:9 picture as used for analog transmission. This works out to be about 712 pixels for NTSC and 702 pixels for PAL. In general (for professional cameras) I have found that Panasonic CCD chips only support the 'active' area whilst Sony chips give the whole 720. These two companies probably make the CCD chips used on all makes of professional video cameras. Just my experience, I have no insider knowledge here! The bottom line is that if you use images sourced on the Panny chips on a digital format, you need to slightly overscan the output to a display to avoid the black bars showing. Perry Mitchell NLE - Jon Burkhart Yes, indeed, NLE stands for Non-Linear Editor. It's OK to ask. All of us had to ask a lot of questions when we first started. And we're still asking questions. I hope you'll find answers here that are helpful to you. Aloha, Jon Burkhart "E.

Boniface Thanks for the input Perry, One would think that by putting the half a dozen odd Digidesign drivers (including the one that is supposed to do the job) in the extensions folder that would do it, but that is not the case. I wasn't as clear on the four channel audio as I should have been. I am aware that Quicktime only allows 2 channel at a time on input. I often use all 4 channels of audio when capturing to my Avid and was sort of Alzheimer's digressing there for a moment. This is for a ProTools sweetening job where the audio guy is trying to input to his fuse and get access to his audio card at the same time..I have an inquiry into the ProTools gurus, but they are often brutal in their return times. This place is a wealth of practical and technical know-how and I was hoping someone on the list had either "been there and done that" with my audio guys specific hardware set-up, or was channeling some great technogeek spirit in the sky. I do however appreciate your taking the time to reply. I would also like to mention that I enjoy and often learn something from the many posts you make here. Simultaneous Video/Audio Capture Quagmire - "Perry Mitchell" Jack - I think it very safe to assume now that you know far more about this than I do! cheers Perry xl1 v. pd150 - Jon Burkhart I use a variable pad with XLR connectors on each end and some small slide switches in the side of the connector. If the signal plugged into the XL1 is too hot, the level will overload the preamps in the circuit and the signal will be distorted no matter how you adjust the level with the controls on the XL1.
