PC or Mac? As long as the software saves QuickTime files you will have no problems. I use SnapZPro and it's flawless. Use either the Animation codec, Phot JPEG at 80% and you will have excellent...

Hi Nathan.

If you don't use Dashboard I suggest to de-activate it. It takes memory and CPU cycles for nothing.
Open the Terminal and enter the following command:

You're very welcome Owen, it's great to see that BitJazz is reading the forums. I used SheerVideo almost every day for the past year and it served me well.

The way DV and HDV record to tape is completely different. Where DV compressed each individual frame by throwing away a lot of color information (4:1:1) but keeping each frame "independent", HDV uses...

No particularly, it's just that FCP is not as precise as a dedicated tool like AE or Shake. NLEs are great at cutting but not so good at effects. Compositing suites lead to better results but they...
