Try rendering a portion and see if it plays smooth on your system. AVCHD is very processor intensive so unless you have a beast of a machine it will not play back smoothly in CS4.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/have-problem-with-full-hd-1920x1080#post-74708 Sun, 12 Feb 2012 22:09:38 +0000 aji 74708@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>morning everyone... </p> <p>i using Ben-Q FHD and the format for video is 1920x1080 but the problem is i can't using Adobe Premier CS4 for edited, something Bugs the video cant play for the sequence i use its AVCHD 1080p 25 and actually i was using all sequence but i cant still my video.. please give me some clue and suggest ... ty</p> <p> </p> <p>regards</p> <p>Brujax</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/bad-video-render-fps-lag-spikes-help#post-73193 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 12:24:28 +0000 Dayton 73193@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I'll show you the certain lag spikes I've been getting after I rendered a video in Sony Vegas Pro 10.</p> <p>Here you go:</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xF9_5cCdTdE" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xF9_5cCdTdE</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/chromakey-problem-with-pro-10#post-72611 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 05:12:49 +0000 Alice 72611@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi Mike</p> <p>Just found the problem is with the baseline picture - it was too tall for widescreen.

When I render the loop the on stage portion is ok with widescreen marks top and bottom as it should be, when the chroma background is on it is full screen, although subject and background have the same properties - except the depth, i dont seem able to affect background depth in photoshop, there is no properties for this point.

I got myself a copy of Adobe Premiere CS3 and I'm trying to figure out how this stuff works. The first thing I'm trying to do is to put several .AVI clips I have together in another .AVI file, so after dragging the clips to the time bar in the bottom, I hit "export" and choose to save it in AVI format. The thing is that this operation takes almost two hours! The final clip is only 18 minutes long. Shouldn't it take much shorter, given that the only thing I'm doing is joining seven AVI clips into one?</p> <p>Thanks guys.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/imovie-11-will-not-post-to-youtube#post-67244 Fri, 15 Apr 2011 17:03:25 +0000 Don 67244@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Earl, I STRONGLY recommend you acquaint yourself with the latest version of imovie.</p> <p>two reasons:</p> <p>one: it imports into apples pro res (believe it or not) which makes editing from different formats like hdv, avchd, and mjpeg avi's seamless....</p> <p>Two: take a look on youtube for finalcut x, and you'll see the next generation of finalcut pro, might as well be called iMovie pro..... </p> <p>anything you learn in imovie (latest version) will carry over to final cut pro x</p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/imovie-11-will-not-post-to-youtube#post-67241 Fri, 15 Apr 2011 13:27:11 +0000 EarlC 67241@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Make sure your finished project is a complete movie file and not just a file image. Make sure you saved/rendered it out as a .mov or .dv file (Quicktime or DV) While I do not use the latest and most current iMovie (when I DO use it for a minor project) making sure the settings are as noted above has generated something that YT appears to be happy with. That, and making sure your final project doesn't exceed YT's length and size restrictions. Also, if your project has copyrighted music you will initially get a "silenced" audio track with visuals only playing.

If others don't chime in with similar experiences with this model, you might try searching on the internet for this problem wtih the XH-A1. Years ago I had similar problems with a digital 8 Sony and I searched and found that a lot of people had the same issue with the same model and there were scores of solutions that all revolved around smacking the side of the camcorder. I am not suggesting that you smack your Canon but only suggesting that you search first before shipping it off to get repaired. Good Luck.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/help-tape-wont-load-xh-a1#post-66381 Sun, 13 Mar 2011 15:53:34 +0000 WSanford 66381@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> There is a lot of moving parts in a tape drive system. That was a problem widely known for the GL2 but I never had it. From rewinding a lot you can bend pins and you can mess up the carriage from a bad tape or loading improperly. Sucks to have a camera go down in the middle of the season but I would suggest sending it in.
