    - saving to mini dv I have a movie that I am trying to save to my panasonic mini dv. I have the ieee1394 firewire. When I try to save to the camcorder, I dont get an error message, but it wont let me save it. I have read all the trouble shooting stuff and I think I have that covered. I have modified the size of the file when I save to CD or desktop and it will let me. I think the file is too large when I create my movie. I have 9 songs and approx 1200 images. The file shows only 254 meg before I save my movie. I cant see where I can change the bit rate from the pc to the camcorder. I can save the file just fine and view it in media player after changing the bit rate when going to the CD. Am I just out of luck because the file is too big when recording to the camcorder? Please help. Tag: voice over Tag: 42328

    - Speed up clip TIP and questions I wanted to speed up a clip in WMM2 more than the default 2X; so I doubled the speed, saved the clip as an AVI then imported it back into Collections, sped it up again (2X), saved it to an AVI, re-imported it again and then finally applied a 2X Video Effect to give me a very speedy clip (without apparent loss of frames or introducing very choppy video). The question I have, is there any loss in AVI quality the more I apply this technique to a set of clips? Also, I have been reading on PapaJohn's website that WMM uses AVI-I versus AVI-II, what do DV camcorders typically save to tape, AVI-I or AVI-II? Is there any consumer way of editing AVI-II or is that left to the professional equipment? Any advantage to using AVI-II or is it lossy, the more you import and save back to AVI-II (if you can)? Thanks, PJ Tag: voice over Tag: 42327

However, when I try to drag my png to the overlay part of the timeline, it stops dead in the video section and won't go where I want it.

    - Ever see a stray frame/image copied into a transition?? I am editing an hour-long video with about 100 clips. I think I am encountering an error in WMM, but not sure. When I split a long clip into two clips, and then delete one of the clips, sometimes a single image/frame from the deleted clip appears in the "transition" for the next clip. It is only a single frame/image, but it ruins the video because it is out-of-context. My video appears choppy, with a single image spliced between two clips. My question is "where is this single image stored?" It seems to be stored in the "transition" between clips. As I scroll through the video frame by frame, the stray image appears "between" two clips. If I view the storyboard screen and click on the transition box, I can see the stray image/frame. I wish I could delete it. I am not using any transitions in this video. The menus do not allow me to delete the transition because WMM thinks I have not specified any transitions. Has anyone seen this? Thanks!! Tag: voice over Tag: 42317

    - Can't Capture Video I have a JVC DV camcorder that I am trying to capture video from. I have a firewire card and cable that are new and I have already captured three tapes worth of video with. Now I am running into a problem. I can connect the camcorder and it automatically open WMM and its capturing utility. I go through all of the set up and select either capture whole tape or capture manually. Preview is on. Then when I go to Start Capture WMM will control the camcorder but nothing appears in the preview, the size of file always shows as 5K i believe but the time displays as zero. When I stop the Capture it gives me an error that the device might not be connected properly or the program isn't correct. I have uninstalled the firewire driver twice, I even removed the card all together. Any info would be great Thanks Sean Tag: voice over Tag: 42301

    - Beg. Questions I have many photo's that I scanned up at 300dpi and would like to put on both a CD and DVD. 1) Have read alot on here about 16:9 ratio but am confused. They are in Paperport format right now (.max) for best quality should I save in .jpg or .bmp? I have Paint Shop Pro so I can resize them. But what do I resize them to for burning to both CD and DVD. 2) "Video Impression program" came with my Canon digital camera and save's the video to .avi and slideshows save to .slw . Do I then need another program to burn the video or slide show and if so does Windows movie maker do this? If I do need another program which to you recommend that does both CD and DVD that is very affordable. Any help 4 this newbie would be appreciated... as I have been reading up on the internet for about 7 days about video authoring and my brain is now in melt down. Sinc Deb Tag: voice over Tag: 42300

    - Can someone explain to me how to perform very simple video edits in Avid or Premiere Hi, I have started a temporary contract position with a small multimedia company. Although, my main area is Windows support, I am constantly bothered by people wanting spliced and diced audio and video files. Although I am not familiar with either area, the audio editing software is fairly intuitive and I have got by. I am afraid with video tools (Avid and Premiere), I am lost. I dont want to be able to do anything fancy, but if someone asks me to split an mpeg or an avi file of 2 hours into one chunk of 40 minutes and one of 1 hour 20, I want to be able to do it immediately. What is the simplest way to do this? I know there is a movie editor in XP too, but I couldn't even figure that one out. If anyone can help, I would be very grateful. QH Tag: voice over Tag: 42254
