hi, does anyone use premier elements who could tell me how to mask out someones face from a clip but only their face ? it is for a short comedy sketch, I am trying to make it look like a crimewatch scene, David

Hi can any one tell me where I may get a widget to allow DV-in on my Samsung digital-cam VP-D230? Many thanks, Baz

Thanks to all who answered my enquiry from a couple of weeks back. I have now acquired a Canon MVX330i. Its only official duty so far has been as analog-to-digital conversion unit between my VCR and computer in order to create a DVD from a VHS tape. The camera is outputting DV to a Firewire input on the computer. I'm using NeroVision Express to capture the digitized output from the camera. ...

can someone tell me where to find a simple, small-sized piece of software, so i can rotate (and save in this way) an mpg-movie clockwise? no other movie-editing tools necessary, just the rotating... thanks. Gil Bossuyt. Belgium.

Hey all, I'm looking for a camcorder to take snowboarding with me with. My main requirements being: good quality, small, rugged. That's probably pretty obvious. I've been reading all over about seemingly the only compacts sports camera, the Samsung SCX105. It seems to be great in all departments, except for quality - which is not really great is it! Any other recommendations? Anything that I...

Hi all, I have a Panasonic DMR-E55 DVD Recorder Since getting the recorder around 3 months ago I have cleared old recordings by "formatting" the Ram disc. Now one disc gives a message "format failed", after several attempts it then said format would take "70" min rather than the normal "2" min but this format also failed after around an hour. Is the disc useless now? Would I be better off...

Hello, I am not very up to speed on DVD technology. I have A pioneer DVR 109 DVD rw and a fifrewire capture card. I also have Nero vision express 3,nero recode and all the other items that come ith that suite of proggies. I have a Sony DVP NS330 player which apparently has had good reviews. Now then,i have lots of digital 8 tapes which have been recorded on my sony camcorder. I know how to...

Sorry guys but I am desperate. I have just completed filming a musical event I have a total of 12 mini dv cassettes to edit into 1 project some 2 hours long. On capturing the tapes I find 2 of them for some reason have been recorded in 4.3 format whereas the rest are in 16.9, I can only think this was done by altering a setting on the camera a Canon XL1, which I had borrowed. Does anyone...

At present I have two vcrs, which can be set to different channels for recording programmes, they have a 'children's lock' which permits you to turn one on and set it without disturbing the other, then you swap them over by using the 'children's lock' and set up the other one. Are there, or will there be, dvd recorders which are able to operate in the same way, will it be possible to set each...

Hi I created a video on premier elements. i normally encode to mpeg2 but this one I used the mpeg DVD option but when I move it to another PC there is no audio :( all my other mpeg2 files work perfectly. David

Dear all, I am looking to buy my first miniDV Digital Camcorder. After doing a bit of research, I realised that I have to up my budget considerably in order to get anything half decent. I have zeroed in on the following :- Canon MVX40i Sony DCR HC90 Panasonic NV-GS150.

Hello, is there any hint to allow Sony PC330E to record 16:9 video in progressive mode? It seems that those features are mutually exclusive. Are there technical reasons to do that or it's simply a commercial choice? Thanks in advance Regards Fabio

Does anyone know if the Panasonic DX1 and EZ1 are identical cameras with different model names? - We own an old EZ1 which we use from time to time and someone has given us a DX1 which looks identical (both cameras are PAL format) look forward to some information?? Regards BUD

Sorry it's a bit late - hope enough people get this in time to exploit it (remember because of the time difference, you'll have 'til at least 5am Friday to download). It's because DivX is 5 years old - they are giving it away - one day only. http://www.divx.com/anniversaryoffer/

I have just found my two year old Canon MV600i no longer records a picture, sound is ok, so is analogue recording. Found the receipt and returned the camera to Costco, I was disappointed with the currect selection at Costco, so I got a full refund, top marks for customer service. I now have £420 for a new DV camcorder, but I can add maybe another £100 to that. What would be a best buy at...

Does anyone have any experience with EditShare? Couldn't find any independent reviews...

Having read a lot, I want to see some of the digial video cameras at a trade show. Can someone point me to the bigs ones coming up? Thanks. -- Kaveh

Thanks (and apologies in advance) to whoever I got this link from - it was quite likely someone on this group, I can't honestly remember. http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~johnny/steadycam/ Anyway, I have something to add, so it's not just a repeat: I built one of these things, suitably adapted to locally available tools and materials. I mainly make Wildlife and Adventure type productions, but also...

Hi, in school do you think digital video production is a solely arts subject or does ICT play a large role ? David
