Ian Hubert started this base of the Earthkiller itself. It's pretty cool looking. We're going to have an awesome space station.--
The City Samanas are one of the best bands to come through Theatresource. Actually the material on their MySpace doesn't really adequately portray how good they really sound live.

Up to frame 422. I was just saying, while knocking on wood (seriously) "Surprisingly, the computer hasn't crashed once doing this render." And guess what happened? No, go ahead, guess. So I restarted. Now we're off to the races again.

I'm going to have to get a new main PC. I suspect I'll end up getting a Dell in August, as August is a cheap time to get them. My last Dell was quite a fine machine and I still use it for audio editing. But it's only a dual-core and it's starting to get cranky.

Yeah, I think we're shooting my next on a Red, so I'll have to get a 64 bit system to handle the CS5...
You don't... edit in Premiere, do you? Or are you just talking about AfterEffects and Photoshop?
I hear Premiere CS5 is good. Seriously. Guess I should try it out at some point.
If a student buys it for you, the whole suite is under $500! ;-)
Yes, I edit in Premiere--always have, since my first flick(that was premiere 5.1 in case you wanted to know, edited on a 386)
Why? You wanna be one of those guys who bust on Premiere?
I laugh at those guys, 'cause they're always so snobby until you ask them where you can see their movies that they edited on Final Cut or Avid, and they say, "Well, nowhere..."
So don't be one of those douches. It ain't what you edit on; it's who you blow in distribution that matters.
The only movie I've edited on Premiere in modern times is the one that DIDN'T get North American distribution -- Solar Vengeance. It was just a nightmare to deal with an entire feature on the thing -- it really hated all the audio files. Whenever we opened the project it would take 20 minutes to render out the waveforms. And it was very crashy. I just gave up. Maybe you have better luck. Or maybe you keep your projects to 20 minutes or less so they aren't so heavy...
I used 5.1 back with some proprietary card when editing Apostasy. For the longest time Premiere worked (with hardware hacks) and Final Cut didn't. But since FCP 3 that's been less so. And I just can't get Premiere to do anything for me anymore.
There was a lot of buggy stuff early. I don't have too many problems with CS3, but yeah, I break my movie into 3 pieces typically.
Saves time(loading all those HD files in can take like 5 minutes).
CS3's only real bugginess comes when you mix files types like importing .mpgs and .avis and .mxf files(which is the video files created by the HVX).
Other than that, it worked great, and hasn't crashed once during a render. And it exports perfectly to burn CDs with encore--I haven't burnt a single coaster, and I recently am 2 for 2 on burning actual Blu Rays...
Ah, divided into three projects. That makes sense.
But how do you deal with audio? Premiere won't export OMF. That really irked me on Solar Vengeance. I had to export entire tracks (and got no handles as a result.)
