My experience is that most comes down to fast harddisks and
a clean system... more than CPU... Ofcourse that is my personal observation / taste. Yours might differ. But hey, give it a try and see.

What you are seeing is the TV safe area. You do not see it on a
TV because it will not show this area, and when they build the XL1 viewfinder they decided you shouldn't see it either (stupid). You see it on the computer because the computer shows EVERYTHING in the signal. If your output is for TV only you need not bother about it. If you are also going down computer or web you need to crop it out.

scanning picture into Premiere
Hello All,
I am trying to scan a picture into Premiere that is 5" wide x 6.75" high. But when I import it into Premiere it come out wider than high making it appear stretched out. What did I forget to do? Thanks! -SL |

upgrade to 6.5
I did this recently and was glad to see the improved tools, faster editing, better titling that 6.5 provides. I'm not in front of my video library, but I think you may need a fairly fast CPU as a minimum for 6.5. -maybe check the literature at videoguys,com. Mike

Captures in Premiere look too bright/washed out??
Today I noticed that all of my footage captured in premiere 6.5 is too bright. Much brighter than when the miniDV tape is viewed on TV played throug my XL1s
Is this a common problem? Should I just darken everything? TIA1 =-) |

Are you viewing this video on a computer monitor, or an external video monitor/television set? If you're just looking at it on a computer monitor, that's probably where the discrepancy lies. Always port the video out to an external video monitor, even if it's just a cheap television set, as it'll show you what the video really looks like.

Right click the picture on the timeline> go to video options>> then select maintain aspect ratio.
You can also select what could you would like to be in the 'spaces' Right click picture on the timeline> goto video options>> then select aspect fill colour>>> choose your colour>>>> select OK Hope this helps, Ed Smith |

Thanks guys, it's a P3...
I was mostly worried if it would upgrade from 5.1 The buddy I bought the system from, is still "looking" for all his paperwork. I got the whole thing from him for 200 bucks, to send off with the kid. I am thinking it won't go up to 6.5. No sweat, I just didn't want to throw good money after bad... (Well, not bad really... pretty good for an old system.) |

Like Rob said, it mainly comes down to fast harddrives. Even a PII will play video smoothly in Premiere if you have a fast disk. Render times will be long but you will have no trouble playing video smoothly

new problem
Thanks guys, worked beautifully! Here is the next problem the pictures are still coming out fuzzy. I scanned them in at the highest reolution Premiere could handle and then used Photoshop to resize them down to the size I needed. When I open them up in the bin they look great but when I export my timeline to video they look all fuzzy. Any thoughts from anyone?
Thanks! -SL |

Might be a square vs rectangular pixel issue.

Premiere for features?
I'm getting ready to put together a dedicated DV editing system (PC) and I was going to build with Avid XPressDV in mind, but I have read on this board that it has a very steep learning curve. So my question is: Does premiere have what it takes to edit and process a feature-length DV project and output it with minimal compression?
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks, Shawn
