Thanks
 

Thanks to those who responded. I understand and will check the manuals on the camera...

Thanks again

info on current-time indicator
 

In the time line, attached to the top right of my current time indicator, is a gray bar of (currently) 28 frames. This off-sets my insert point. When I insert a new clip, it splits the previous clip and puts 28 frames to the right of the new clip.

I know this is confusing, but can anyone tell me what this bar is, and how to get rid of it?

how to hook up monitor to use with premiere pro
 

i've done a search and apparently i'm not doing a good job...anyway
...i'm running a radeon 9800 dual monitor graphics card and premire 1.5
how do i hook up an external monitor for playback to my system....i cant seem to figure it out....
thanx

Chris,

I just did this the other weekend with the 100A on a new short I am working on. These were my settings:

Scene File 6 but turn off 24pa (so 60i)
Shutter 120
Bring it into a 24pA timeline and slow the footage down to 40%

Hope that helps!

New Version
 

I'm very interested in buying Premier Pro. But I'm not sure if a new version will come a couple month later. I know that the 1.5 version is about a year old.
My question is, Does anybody knows when the next version will be release?

Nope. None of us knows, and any insiders who might know can't and won't say. Just guesses. My guess is this autumn, shortly after the anticipated next crop of HD camcorders hits the street.

Burn To DVD From Timeline?
 

Is that true? I won't have to open the finished product in another application to make a DVD?

Yes, PPro can transcode and burn direct to writeable DVD using Adobe Media Encoder, which is the shared applet included with PPro, Encore, and the Adobe Video Collection that does the actual transcoding.

However, there are no menu creation options or anything like that from PPro. Just straight to DVD...pop the burned DVD in your player and it'll play through beginning to end. Since I use Encore, I haven't really used that feature of PPro for a while, but it would be good for burning preview test discs for drafts of a project, or to experiment with different transcoding settings. If you want to make nice DVDs to share with others, you'd still need a separate DVD authoring application.

Other applications while capturing video
 

I have a dual-screen setup for my system. Is there a way to use other applications (internet, word, etc.) while capturing without premier stopping the capturing process? It happened once before, but I don't know how I did it. Thank you.

I would be cautious about using other programs, while doing video. One time, I ended up with the sound of Star Trek doors opening in the middle of a client's video.

Depends what version of PPro.

Prior to 1.5, no.

1.5 supports background rendering, and I use other apps, surf the web, etc. during cap all the time. No probs yet.

If you click anywhere on a Premiere window, however, capture stops.

PPro cropping the image?
 

It seems to me that the Premiere Pro 1.5 is "cropping" the picture while making a DVD, or an AVI file, and that this is happening to a greater extent than my former program Pinnacle Studio 8. Is this right? I have searched for an option to alter this in Preferences and other places, but I can’t find any. When I am making a DVD from an “original” copy of a TV program (I got the copy on a DV casette from the norwegian broadcasting company), the text is cut away in both ends, as the picture is cropped on all edges. This does not happen when I copy the same program in Studio 8, but there I have no acceptable way to use filters to enhance the image. Anyone who can help?

Although you won't get a menu when you burn a DVD directly from PP, it will burn any chapter markers. That is, you can skip forward and back chapters on the burned DVD.

Hi Mike,

I am in Lombard. Even if Adobe released a new version fairly soon after your purchase, there would be a good chance that they would let you upgrade free. Typically this depends on how soon the new version came out relative to your purchase of the older version. Worst case would be a small upgrade fee.

I'm sitting in antisipation. I really hope Adobe has taken time to look at it's competition and can build on it's pro engine. So, no one has any details about it?
