why would anyone want to be Bill Gates Bi*ch when he is the anti christ! Why would the industry bother to use Macs as standard if PC's are far superior? Have any of you even used a Mac? You may be able to play games whilst rendering on your PC, but that is because a PC is a general all rounder, whic...

you dumb bas**rds!! Apple Macs s**t on PC's from a great height!! i regulary use both for editing and it is a FACT that a G4 cube is far more powerful than a dual processor P4 PC, this is to do with the type of chips that are used, and until PC's stop using outdated 8080 chips, Mac's will always be ...

connect your camera (must be dv) via the firewire and set it to 'player' mode.
now go to export to tape and the computer will see the camera and control the recording fuctions for you!

i had no problems getting women involved in my films, infact one time we managed to persuade 3 of them to strip off to their panties for a comic sex scene.
We genuinely lost the rushes and had to film the whole day again...i was gutted...yeah right!

or you could just let nero encode it for you, just choose to make a vcd from the wizard and drag the file in and click burn...Nero does all the work for you!
i WOULD DO IT JUST BEFORE YOU GO TO BED THOUGH AS IT TAKES FOREVER!!

it is a lot easier using the +r dvd's than the -r for player compatibility, they cost a few pence more per disc but the end product is well worth it!

I'm trying to edit a piece using a split screen, does anyone know if premiere is capable of doing this? I have found the transparency thing where you can split the screen, but this way you lose half of the shot. what i want to do is have the whole screen playing, just resized so that a second screen...

have you tried deleting the settings file? run a file search for 'prem60' or 'prem50' depending on which version of premiere you are using (60 for prmiere 6..etc) and delete this file. The next time you start premiere it will not remember any of the settings. If thgis doesn't work then uninstall pre...

Are you capturing the footage to the same physical drive, that the operating system is installed on? Windows doesn't like that kind of stuff as the IDE cables (these link your hard drive to the motherboard) cannot cope with the amount of data floating about .. the operating system (windoze) and the ...

so is it best to capture as DV AVI at 568x720 & then export as MPEG at the lower res?

so reducing the screen resolution will improve the quality of the final output MPEG?

can the captured footage be captured at a lower resolution?

Will the final outputted MPEG when converted to VCD play full screen(PAL)?

How are the 'plugins' added into adobe premiere?

The source footage is captured at DV AVI 568x720 all of the source footage runs perfect. When I capture an hours worth of tape it takes up around 12 gig, which I think is about right. So you think it would be worth exporting as DV AVI (which is uncompressed) and converting to MPEG elsewhere? Cheers ...

The graphics card I use is an all in wonder radeon with 128 mb of onboard RAM. So I'm pretty sure the system is upto the job. Is it possible to capture the footage as different file format that will make the final file (which will be exported as MPEG) run smoothly? Should I use an independant MPEG e...

I am editing short films for music videos using premiere 6.5. The footage is captured via firewire from a JVC mini dv camera. When I play the edited film in premiere it runs smoothly and the transitions are slick. However when I export it as an MPEG-1 (or 2) using the built in encoder the picture be...
