Hi there.

I work for a video production company, mainly as an engineer. We do a lot of digital video work.

The great thing about adobe premiere 6 is that it has firewire imports. If you have a firewire card on your PC you can digitize directly from the camera onto your PC and then edit, add effects, etc.etc.etc.

What do you need help working on? I can try and point you in the right direction.

Yeah in fact I just started my own home business this past November. Its a great job for a student because most of my jobs are weddings or some other event thats on a weekend. Anyway I picked up a XL1s and a Matrox X100 capture card (Came with Premiere 6.5) and now I am well on my way :)

Only thing I found out was that no matter what more HDD space is better :)

I use Premiere 6.5 and After Effects 5.5, both are great programs. It looks like Adobe just release Premiere Pro, which looks quite good. http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/main.html

well, one of the things i was kinda wondering is how i can get some text on the footage using premire. i dont even know if you can, im just curious. also, what is a good way of getting pictures of video? yeah, i really like that adobe has the built in capture, it has much better quality, and its so much easier beacuse it imports right to the program.
thanks for the help!

Use a Premiere Titler program, there is a great one stock with 6.5, Also if you want a picture just use the command CTRL+SHIFT+M it will export a bmp of your vid, and then all thats needed is a Deinterlace in Photoshop or some other photo prog.

where can i get a "tilter"? thanks again guys!
