What happens is the cross dissolves and titles have either green overlay or horizontal lines running across. Now window Media Video and Quick times files are fine. I assume it's an encoding problem with Mpeg and AVI, perhaps I do not have something I need. I'm not even sure how to word this problem to search on the closed Avid Liquid forum. Any ideas to get me started? I could reinstall but I would have to back up my projects prefer not to go that route yet. mgchicago on "// Boston ( motion + sound + code ) :: April 1st-5th \\" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/boston-motion-sound-code-april-1st-5th#post-56491 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 12:01:16 +0000 mgchicago 56491@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ Boston Motion Graphics Festival 2010 April 1st through 5th, All Around the City Topics and Presenters Include: After Effects, Actionscript, jQuery, VDMX, AVID, Fox, MIT, School of the Art Institute of Chicago and more.

We have recently formatted both Systems due to vriuses and we have installed and configure both systems, the problem is that after we properly configured the systems we faced the import problem, whenever we import any .MOV or .AVI format to the syetem a white screen only come, and when we play the video only the white screen movie plays, sometimes a Key icon appear in the Bin, I face this problem in both systems I have tried to re-isntall Quicktime and Media Player in both system thinking that it may appear according to Codecs problem, but nothink changes, I am able to play these video files outside Avid. Also I have tried to capture some videos using DVR Dcoder and when I import these files into Avid Same Problem happen. Your urgent help is appreciated in this matter.

Â I learned to edit video and audio, and run a news program. Â Unfortunately, there was very little in the way of anything that has actually helped me make a living. Â I thought I was going to become a video editor, but it's hard to edit video when your training consists of one lesson of AVID and one lesson of Final Cut Pro. Â It was very basic. Â I'm making less than $6000 a year now because I don't have sufficient skills. What should I do? videoguys on "What is the difference between consumer video editing software and 'real' NLEs" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/what-is-the-difference-between-consumer-video-editing-software-and-real-nles#post-49909 Fri, 07 Aug 2009 06:49:05 +0000 videoguys 49909@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ What is the difference between consumer video editing software and 'real' NLEs (Non Linear Editing)? Inexpensive Consumer Video Editing programs like <a href="http://www.videoguys.com/Brand/Pinnacle+%28by+Avid%29.aspx">Pinnacle Studio</a>, Adobe Premiere Elements, <a href="http://www.videoguys.com/Search/Search.aspx?Query=vegas+movie+studio">Sony Vegas Movie Studio</a>, Apple iMovie, Windows MovieMaker are easy and fun to use. In fact, I think they are pretty amazing. While these products can be purchased for less then one hundred dollars they deliver a level of performance and features that would have cost 10 times as much just 5 years ago! While these products allow you to edit your video, create slideshows, author DVDs and export them to the web, the actual features are limited and if you want to do some serious vide editing, you will find you can outgrow them pretty quickly. Consumer video editing products have trouble with long format productions. One of the biggest complaints we hear from consumer video editing software is that after 15 or 30 minutes the video editing become sluggish and the software can become erratic. Go even longer and more issues come up - the audio starts to become out of sync; the playback jitters; or worst of all the video and then the app just freezes up. <img title="Advanced NLE's" alt="Advanced NLE's" src="http://www.videoguys.com/Images/Blog/BlogEntryImages/collage.jpg" /> Advanced NLEs will all deliver perfect playback, regardless of the length and complexity of your production. If you are editing HD footage some formats and settings may require rendering before they will playback in full speed, but you will be able to adjust your playback settings in order to achieve a level of real-time that meets your needs.Ã?Â Most importantly they are extremely stable and reliable. If you are running into any playback issues with an advanced NLE it is probably caused by data throughput bottlenecks in your computer. We have several articles on our website which can help you tweak and optimize your computer for NLE. If you take the time to optimize your computer for editing, you will find that you can edit for hours and hours without any crashes or performance issues. Why do I want to invest in a "real" NLE for Video Editing? Buying an advanced NLE like <a href="http://www.videoguys.com/Item/Adobe+Premiere+Pro+CS4+for+PC/1333930323035363.aspx">Adobe Premiere Pro</a>, <a href="http://www.videoguys.com/Item/Apple+Final+Cut+Studio+2/23353464.aspx">Apple Final Cut Pro</a>, <a href="http://www.videoguys.com/Brand/Sony+Creative+Software.aspx">Sony Vegas</a>, <a href="http://www.videoguys.com/Item/Grass+Valley+EDIUS+v5+Editing+for+the+Digital+Generation+/630333634363.aspx">Grass Valley Edius</a>, or <a href="http://www.videoguys.com/Item/Avid+Media+Composer+35+-+1%2c995+extended+thru+7-15/1303D20303030323D203035373.aspx">Avid Media Composer</a> will not give you better video quality or make editing easier; what they will give you is a far more powerful set of tools that will allow you to be more creative and produce video content that is better and more entertaining to watch. The reason to buy one of these more expensive advanced editing programs is simple: to be able to tell your story better. That's what the heart of video editing is, taking a collection of media, video clips, audio, images and graphics - then putting them together to tell a story. The longer the story you want to tell, the more important it is to use more sophisticated tools to keep your audiences attention. Once you decide to graduate from point and shoot productions and simple slide shows into storytelling you will want the right tools for the job. In this article we will go into some of the most important tools found in our advanced NLEs and their superior workflow. <a href="http://www.videoguys.com/Guide/E/What+is+the+Difference+Between+Consumer+Video+Editing+Software+and+Real+NLEs+Non+Linear+Editing/0x5ba89e5673caa709967ac4699dbd7dc7.aspx">Read the full guide here </a> Gary jamesreid on "Survey..." http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/survey#post-45616 Wed, 08 Apr 2009 07:02:22 +0000 jamesreid 45616@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ When I was in School at the international academy of design and technology i studied computer animation.

Right now I'm a studentÂ inÂ collegeÂ and am startingÂ toÂ save up moneyÂ for someÂ video editing software.Â Â I'm using Avid FreeDV right now.Â Â IfÂ I understandÂ it correctly based on the termsÂ of someÂ of these programs,Â some can only beÂ used forÂ personalÂ use (like home movies),Â some for students (student licenses),Â and some for "professional"Â use where youÂ canÂ legallyÂ sell your edited film. What I'm tryingÂ to understand is which programs offerÂ the "professional"Â use?Â Â Does Vegas Pro offer that?Â Â Which version of PremireÂ offers that?Â Â Also,Â I wasÂ told a while backÂ IÂ can buyÂ a student version of Avid Xpress now,Â andÂ whenÂ I graduateÂ IÂ can "upgrade" itÂ to their Media Composer software for "only" $1000, but that'sÂ like getting $6000 worthÂ of software forÂ 1300, and gives meÂ the "professional"Â use. I'm not tryingÂ to ask the "whichÂ is better" questionÂ here, just findÂ out what my options areÂ soÂ IÂ canÂ makeÂ the best decision based on what editorÂ IÂ like.Â Â Any helpÂ orÂ tips onÂ figuring this stuffÂ outÂ is greatly appreciated. sham on "Multicam Editing with Avid Express Pro" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/multicam-editing-with-avid-express-pro#post-36421 Sun, 11 May 2008 10:53:26 +0000 sham 36421@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ I shoot events in which a person speaks and an audience listens. I use two cameras;Â camera oneÂ on the speaker runs continuously andÂ camera twoÂ on the audience starts and stops, recording people's reactions. I then capture the both cameras' footage into Avid Express Pro and edit using conventional means.Â The finished edit appears as if it was shot using a switcher.Â But the work is time consuming.Â I have to listen to the voice on camera two and then sync it with the audio of camera one.Â I know Multicam editing would be the solution, but I just don't know how to go about it. I tried using the Help but learning Greek might be easier. I'd be grateful for some help.
