    Hi Marc,
    I was going through old Pure Motion Edit Studio5 forums, and came across your review of ES5 back in, I think, 2005 or 2006.
    In it there was an article on using Google Earth with ES and a sample file - earth.wmv.
    However I can't find the link to that particular file. Could you please direct me to that file?

    Thanks,

    Ian Bell

    PS. You can contact me at my email addrss.

    Just wanted to say I'm impressed with the new software facilities. The blog feature is a good one (so long as we don't end up getting blatant spam there) and the nice big friendly "Thanks" button is a great idea (and much more obvious than the "click on the scales" thingy). I haven't posted this to the forum as I note you haven't mentioned it yet, and I'm guessing you don't want everyone to hammer the new facilities until they've bedded in.

    Of course very few people will use the thanks button unless they're aware of it (like the scales which isn't even mentioned in the FAQ) so if & when you do mention the changes - please big it up!

    BTW can't get the "multi-quote" to do anything.......

    Hello, [COLOR=black]I was hoping you could help me. I am new to this site.[/COLOR] I have a Power Director 7 Ultra, when I load the video in this program, it is making not the same time of the video. For example, when I play the video in my pc it shows total 8min 55sec, but when I load to Power Director 7 it shows total 8min 20sec. CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY ITS DOING THAT???
    Thanks so much

    [COLOR=black]Hello, I was hoping you could help me. [/COLOR][COLOR=black]I am a multimedia installation artist And I have a technical enquiry. I want to create a video installation which involves superimposing live CCTV footage with Pre recorded DVD footage of the same space. The aim is to merge an image of the space containing a now removed object and mixing this with footage of the viewers in the space. This is so viewers can view themselves moving around the space while the monitor shows something in the room which mysteriously is invisible to them. [/COLOR][COLOR=black]I wanted to know which section of the forum is best for me to pose this question and I wanted to know if you had any other ideas for hardware or lines of inquiry I could follow. [/COLOR]

    Thank you for your time

    Ben

It seems Slum Dog Millionaire is set to beat all records... for the most pirated film in history. Its universal appeal provides the perfect catalyst for this dubious title. That and the universal availability of pirate copies.

At a time when everyone's attempting to save money, it comes as no surprise to see knock off sales surge. But surely that's not the whole story? I paid £3 to watch Slum Dog on the big screen courtesy of Orange Wednesdays. About the same price some people are...

Let's not be snobs about this, using a cheap (or not so cheap) camera on fully automatic settings is something we all do. You either don't have the time or the inclination when filming for fun, or filming to capture the moment. But sometimes, when those automatic settings simply won't do, you just can't do without manual adjustments. Two settings you'll always need are manual focus and manual white balance. How easy are those on your camera? Do you know where to find them?

So when...

I've always felt hampered by tapes. There's just too many things that can and often do go wrong. And when you're filming live events where your first take is your last, a small error can be costly. We've all heard of tape horror stories. From corrupt to broken tapes, the videographer is at the mercy of those pesky little tapes.

With solid state media falling in price, I finally took the plunge into the AVCHD world. This hasn't been without its problems, but there's one thing for sure,...

Post a watchable video on almost any forum and you're guaranteed to be asked the same question, "what software did you use". Or perhaps, "what camera did you shoot that with". Although perfectly understandable questions, they expose the first faux pas of the video editing newbie... that the editing suite is a magical place that creates professional looking video. In the right hands, and with a lot of ingenuity, even the most dire of video can be made to look presentable. But...

It's relatively easy to achieve the fabled film look. We've featured various post production tips to get the look and feel of a Hollywood production, but it's not just film treatment that gets results. Long before hitting post production, camera technique goes a long way to giving your footage a film look. So rather than rely on expensive plugins, why not learn a few tricks (and in the process dispel a few myths) to give your footage impact without post production wizadry? This first in our series...
