Subject: 4 Quick Questions and a Ponderance

Hi to all and thanks for the recent help with my Live Mike issue.  ( Especially Mark )

I just keep saving up questions rather than one at a time.  Thanks for any input.

 

#1    There was a recent thread about missing graphics typestyle preset error message.

        Can't find the old thread.  Basically, I opened my project with 30 x :30.  Each

        spot had testimonials with lower third name supers.  Probably about 100 or so.

        Out of those, 6 of the name supers had the error message during opening of seq.

        Simply had to re-load type face info. but it was annoying with that many spots.

        Was there a remedy for this??? 

Sylvain > Past version contained a flaw that a restore in v7.6 would reveal.  The latest QFE resolve the issue but not with existing titles.  Those, you need to fix manually.  If this is the same issue you report... 

 

#2    Need to get O and O Defrag again.  Anyone have the link?  I only had the old free

       version on my old 3.01 box.  ( Or is there something better I can buy for De Frag)

       Any Gotchas? 

Sylvain > Answer above.  :)

Final thought for discussion and advice.  < Ponderance >

 

        Wow with all this storage (1.75 TB) and strictly working on Standard Def, I have gotten

        pretty damned lazy with my workflow.  Used to work Low Rez for Ruff Cuts and Re-Dig

        Hi Rez for on-line.  Seems I have just been working Hi-Rez all the time now.  I really

        need to re-think my rate structure regarding Off-Line and On-Line.  Any thoughts?

        My clients are comfortable with one rate for "creative off-line" and one for "finishing".

        ( Realizing that rates vary by market / country etc.)  

Sylvain > With such storage space, I do know many users today who no longer bother to capture compressed media for offlines. 

 

 

Kind Regards,

I realize I should know these simple things rather than all the words to the opening theme

songs of shows like Gilligan's Island and Green Acres.   "Farm living is the life for me......."
