I've been using Adobe Premiere Elements 7 for quite some time now, and I am extremely happy with it. The software is very easy to use and does everything I want it to do. I am reluctant to upgrade just in case my old projects disappear fom my hard drives, if you know what I mean. But version 7 suits...

Sorry Michael, But I have to disagree with you and say that the cameras you have listed do look like slightly smaller versions of professional cameras. The Sony Z5 - EX1 - and the PXW Z150 may look like small amateur cameras to you, but to most people in the street who don't make films, and some of ...

The question still remains. When I send my film to The BIAFF at the end of the year, which format should I use if I want the judges to see a high-definition image? Do they really want a USB stick tied to a luggage label? Tim, you may well say that it's the content that matters, not the medium. And a...

Dear Michael, You paint a very sad picture for me regarding Blu-ray discs. You say that few people want Blu-rays rather than DVDs, but surely the number of people entering Blu-rays in The BIAFF must be increasing slightly? I really don't want to use USB sticks for sending to other people. How do I l...

Many thanks for your reply, Michael. I have been using a LaCie DVD burner for a couple of years now. I also have a LaCie Quadra Hard Drive which I am very happy with. Unfortunately I don't think LaCie make Blu-ray burners any more, which is a great pity. I may be wrong, but I can't trace these burne...

Please help me.

Could anyone recommend an external Blu-ray burner, with USB connections (obviously) to use on a PC?
USB 2 or USB 3.

I can see various makes on ebay, but which ones can I trust?

A simple question.

I completely disagree with Tim Stannard's comment, who said on Sunday 22nd May 2016. "On no account repeat in the voice-over, the words in the text" A powerful statement, which I believe is wrong. Before you take Tim Stannard's advice, please take a look (and listen) to the first 40 second...

Talk about nit-picking. Why are you so pedantic about 'Fiddler's Walk' Tim? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CI-pQzXCf5E&feature=player_detailpage In my humble opinion, it's a brilliant, and funny look at the world of judges, film judging, film competitions, and corruption in general. Haven't you...

If you're really interested,

I helped on the production of a film which was awarded 4 stars.

Let me know what you think, but don't be too shocked.

I'd love to know how many stars you would have given it.

Congratulations.

That's amazing news, well done.

Considering I haven't had my results yet.

How on earth do you already know that three of your films are being screened at BIAFF?

Many thanks for all the replies and advice on buying a desktop computer for HD editing. It seems to me that I should buy something like an HP desktop computer, and as long as it has an i7 chip starting with 4XXX, I should be all right. I'll let you know how I get on. Just to say that computerplus is...

Could someone on this forum please help me, and let me know what make of desktop computer I can buy, off the shelf, in a shop, that will edit HD footage smoothly. It must be a PC and not an Apple. If it helps, I use Adobe Premiere Elements. I am very happy with it and do not intend changing that sof...

Dear Col,

I don't understand specifications all that well.
I assume that i7 is faster than i5, but that's all I know.

Please can you specify a make and model number of a desktop computer that will edit HD smoothly and won't take 60 minutes to render 12 minutes of film on my timeline?

Thank you
