Lew, My post refers to SD content and I am working on SD timeline in Liquid. For HD I am slowly learning Media Composer 5.  However, good to know your experience on downconverting HD to SD in Liquid and how good it looks on your upscaling DVD player--might be a reason to downconvert HD to SD and burn to conventional DVD's and get a very good ...

Thank you, Dave.  My apologies  for bothering forum, but I think what changed was my perception. Today I spent more time critically looking at past projects on large screen tv and titles are about as ''fuzzy'' if not as fuzzy as what I wrote about.  I do always render out things before I pass judgement so titles were ...

For some reason the titles I create in Title Deko are not as sharp as they were two weeks ago when I did another project. I have tried various pre-sets from Looks option such as 02-8 and 01-8 but still not as sharp as previous.  I have also experimented with Inlay Quality and changed from odd field to both fields which seemed to help a ...

Thank you Richard.  There are so many features new to me on HMC41/40 I am on a steep learning curve so appreciate any information I get--even if I ''get my hopes dashed.''  Regards, Dennis

Apologies for getting off topic, but Richard mentions:  ''I have the installation files and manuals for the Panasonic ''HD Writer AE'' (for the consumer cameras) and ''AVCCAM Viewer'' (for the professional AVCCAM range). Neither manual mentions any specific need to join the .MTS files together prior to editing; the only added value ...

This is all new to me, but do all these ''joining'' issues occur only if you exceed 26 minute/2GB continuous recording (I think definition of one ''clip'' would be a continous recording) ?  With new Panasonic AG-HMC40 I have been shooting scenery (continuous record less than 30 seconds) so in this case once I begin editing at least I ...

In USA I have equivalent set-up as Richard:I just started using Panasonic AG-HMC40. I am migrating from mini-DV edited on Liquid 7.2 to file based HD and had planned to edit on Avid Media Composer 5 (the ''deal'' that Avid gave Liquid users). Editing AVCHD in MC5 looked a bit complex (needing transcoding, etc), and I had hoped as Avid Studio ...

I am not sure which forum this fits so hope it is ok if I post here and also in Editing one.  Using LE 7.2 Pro I want to make two versions of recent vacation ''movie'' generally using same media but edited to different lengths.  Version A would be a long version for our own enjoyment--for instance it would show 8 or 10 surfers from ...

Gentlemen, thank you for help. In the interim I may have found my laxity regarding Norton security on/off could be the root cause. Last ''unexpected close'' coincided with Norton Security turning itself on ( I had turned it off for 5 hours but got engrossed in editing and lost track of time).  Although I have read many times to be sure to ...

Just opened LE after sending post above and it opened the same way as before (got warning note that since LE unexpectedly closed it opened to new sequence-- new sequence2). Used drop down menu to select first new sequence and new blank timeline opened fine for new project (still have not imported media etc for new project). Opened an old ...
