Re: USB3 advice

Pete USB 3 HDs will be read and written to by both USB 1 and 2 ports. We have two WD portable USB drives (Passport and AV versions) and both work great with all our PCs and iMac. A word of warning for others reading this post, external drives formatted in NTFS will be read by a Mac but not written to.

Re: Adobe and CS5

I only frequent the forum occasionally nowadays and today is the day. Can I add some advice. CS5 is solid and stable (kiss of death for my system) as I still use CS5 on the rare occasions I edit video. Restore points are excellent but it always pays to have a full backup of your system drive. Window...

Panasonic TM 900 HD camcorder for sale

I am looking to sell my camcorder, the TM 900 model is exactly the same as the SD 900 model but the TM includes 32Gb of internal memory in addition to an SD card. It is in very good condition and in the last two years it has only recorded some 30 minutes of video. Selling because it is now surplus t...

Re: A guide to a PC's specifcation

Thanks Tim.

I have modified the post to include a reference to Adobe Premiere as it is that software which is primarily intended to be used.

Re: Exporting from CS6 to V tape

What is the audio settings on the timeline that you are exporting?

You can also try exporting to a file and then import that into a Premiere standard DV project. Then export that timeline.

Re: EPSON PRINTER PROBLEM

Strange, I could see the drivers and via a seperate drop down the CD software utility.

I did not try to download them, but it does not surprize me you had issues as Epson can be fickle, I had problems with another printer. My Wifes Canon was worst to update to Win 7

Re: EPSON PRINTER PROBLEM

Roy

Did you ignore my post advising of the download location?

There are Win 7 64 bit drivers plus CD software which is in the utilities.

I had the same problem a couple of years ago and the drivers worked with no problem.

Re: DSLR advice

Pete It may be a stupid question, but will she be capable of changing a lens? Someone on Fb had to ask how to do just that and if in the future she is not likely to progress onto using much manual controls then a Bridge camera would be better. It is better to use a DSLR/Bridge for video rather than ...

Re: DSLR advice

Pete The Canon in my opinion is the wrong camera. Panasonic Lumix do three excellent cameras, any would suit. FZ200 which is a bridge camera so it looks like a full DSLR but has a fixed lens with a long optical zoom. My Wife has one and its an awesome camera, there is a magic Ai button which is auto...

Re: Sounds a bargain

A two man band = 200 videos produced in 2014 = 1 hour 40 minutes for each person to produce a single video.

Now that is quite a workload, even if the media is sent to them.
