Why can't we have that fun? I want to spend money on Norton but Mac's don't like it. Yes, PC's are great, Apple should be more precise and provide a better OS.

Perhap's someone in your area can look at this and plan the act.

You're right Ben. Your suggestion is better.by Rui Barros - Café LA Re: exporting to tape with a PAL sequence - 17 years agoOr send the tape in NTSC and your friend can take it in to a DuB House, they usually have systems transcoders. If your friend is here in Portugal i can give a help, this a old country Pal-Land.by Rui Barros - Café LA Re: There's method to my madness or is it madness in my method? LOL - 17 years agoEdit the sequence until the end without the mask. Then when finish create a new sequence with the same settings, grab the previous sequence and drop it in the new one. The result will be a clip, a type of nesting, apply the mask and i'm not sure if the duration of the mask will hold 99 minutes if not with the blade tool or control-v, cut the clip into chunks to hold the filter.by Rui Barros - Café LA Re: Slightly OT: Don't install Vista if you have an iPod. - 17 years ago"Vista" in portuguese means sight. I guess that Bill Gate's eyes saw something again in computer that didn't belong to him.

The way that i recommend is, buy a Certified Level 1 Book and read it, do the lessons and take the exam at a Apple Certified Institution. She can take this exam, 101, without going to classes.

They are a good help.by Rui Barros - Café LA OT-POST-PRODUCTION COURSE - 17 years agoI'm in a good way to receive a scholarship that allows me to study in the US for a period longer than 3 months. The big question now is to find a good school or university, they must teach cinema. I was last september in NY for the Apple FCP Certifications, during my short visit i've notice two schools, NYU and NYFA. Are they good?

But what does it mean Union Base pay and Non-Union?by Rui Barros - Café LA Re: VHS - 17 years agoThe best way is a VHS with an S-Video signal out. Composite Luminance and chrominance are combined along with the timing reference ?sync? information to make composite video.

You can customize the keys of the Shuttle Pro V2 for FCP and it works with other apps like Safari, Photoshop, After FX, Avid... Wacom Tablet and the Shuttle Pro V2 are a perfect combination.
