Running MC4.0.3. A number of folks ask me why I'm clinging onto Workspaces instead of using Toolsets. Look in Toolsets. See how Save Current is right above Restore Current to Default? That's why I use Workspaces. Any chance Save Default could be either moved down to the bottom or to have a spacer separating the two? When in the final days of

Hello everyone! This is Chris Bové from your friendly neighborhood Avid user's group (Western New York Post-Production Group). BUFFALO The Next WNYPPG Group meeting is next Thursday night, November 12 at WNED 6pm-9pm . The topics on the agenda are: 1. WNYPPG update 2. Avid News and a look at Avid's new Media Composer updates (version

My thoughts exactly... but no dice. It's the same on all five tapes shot over three weeks. Same camera, same shooter. When capture window is open and timecode is displayed, the seconds "flutter". Two seconds forward, one second back for a few frames, repeat. When in capture mode, video is seen just fine. Audio is there too. Try to capture

I'll definitely chase that idea. Good one! Normally I'd stick the HDV tape in one of those DVC_Pro adapters so I could bring it in HDSDI from either our 1700 deck or our 1400... However neither one understands the 1080i 24 not 1080p. Doh! PS - tried 720p but the 1280 raster makes for a nice error message of "...video no loner coming into

Wow - lots of folks bored on a Sunday! Didn't expect to hear boo until tomorrow. Yeah the display on the Z5U actually reads HDV1080i 24p. Stunned me to. Shooter in California insists myself and three other editors on this project are dumb for not being able to use these five tapes. Tried 1080p project. Refuses to see video, probably because raster

SONY HDV camera (Z5U) shot 1080i 24p. Using a SONY Z7U as a deck. Firewire. Having capture issues - same issues on MCA (HP8400) at work and Mac Pro (intel quad core) at home. Both systems up-to-spec. Have newest versions of MS and FCP. Neither can see this format without burping timecode error messages every two seconds. In short, I've created EVERY

Hi. Running MCA 2.8.3. Is still the best way to export portions of my timeline to MPEG-4 files via QT-reference to Squeeze? Or is it possible to download/install patch that makes Export As .mp4 files possible?

After "equipment compatibilities", the hottest topic at Avid User's Groups is always comparing each other's workflows. What people discover is that all workflows differ, yet problems usually start from the same problem - how each editor handles file structures and clip or tape naming. So for everyone's learning benefit here, please

Hello everyone! It's Chris Bové from WNYPPG -- Avid's users group for Buffalo/Rochester/Syracuse. The first-ever implementation of our group in Rochester will be held at WXXI on Thursday October 15th at 6pm. For those of you not familiar with our meetings, we are a casual group of professionals/enthusiasts who get together about every

Yeah no kidding... but realize that the incompatibility was right out of the box and installed by Avid! Hats off to them though for realizing it and getting us back on track. (Big thanks to Tim Dermody from Tech Support.)
