May be an odd question, but I was hoping someone would be able to help out with an answer to this question: I received the magic bullet software with my DVX purchase. I am going to be getting a new computer soon and cannot find my disc to be able to reinstall it as an Avid plug-in. Is there a...

I had to do a short illustration of someone being tempted and giving in. This was my first shot at it. I know it won't look its best because it's on youtube, but I am curious as to anyone's thoughts on it. Yes - I know the lighting's bad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQhFyGb3cAw

I am putting together a video for a friends birthday and I have everything set except for the text. I hate Avid's text tool so I did all my text in After Effects 6.5. When I finished I rendered as lossless Windows video .avi and imported into Avid. The text looks absolutely horrible when I bring...

If simply creating a QT ref file and compressing in Sorenson Squeeze from an Avid sequence, is there any difference in quality between standard Quicktime and Quicktime Pro?

I had recently upgraded to Quicktime 7 Pro and have been having problems compressing my QT ref file into an MPEG2 to burn to DVD. Sorenson would compress the file, but it was going much slower than ever before and then it would crash about 56% of the way through for an hour sequence from Avid...

I am trying to put together a logo effect (in AE6.5) to put on all my DVDs. I was wondering if you guys had any moving logo effects to share with us. I am always interested in people's logos and how well or poorly they represent their brand. Please share if you guys have any cool ones...

I have been reading through a lot of the threads trying to rap my brain around the progressive/interlace 24P, 30P, 60i, etc. I use Avid Xpress DV (not pro), and most projects I do have been shot in 30P and I have never had the problem I had with the most recent project I did. I shot in 60i and...

Have checked with so many different forums and asked so many different people this question, and have not gotten a helpful answer yet... I will go step by step so maybe you can see where I am going wrong. I capture all my footage via firewire into avid. I edit my sequences then export the...

I have shot a scene that will involve a lot of voice over work to simulate the characters thoughts. I was wondering if there were any audio tools w/ Avid Xpress DV (not pro) that would allow me to change the voice to make it sound like we are listening to somebodies thoughts. Thanks...

This topic has been moved to Cafe ala DVX by John Hudson.

I absolutely love this DVX family. What a great place to post and get feedback. I have just put up a website for my brand new wedding videography business. I have done 2 weddings now, both pretty much pro bono to get some experience. I just got the DVX in Nov. and got all the DVDs and books to...

Finished a video shoot for my wedding videography website...Hopefully I do this correctly.

Hopefully this is an easy fix... I stupidly erased my avid sequence before I had compressed into all the proper files. I have a DVD of the sequence, however, I did not compress the file into a quicktime file for my website. Is there a way to get the edited footage on the DVD back into Avid so...
