  • A tip I'd like to pass on.

    Today I was finishing up a 40 minute documentary that consists of 7 projects in MS Pro 6.0

    At about 15 minutes into the project, while sending to tape, I was getting a glitch. A momentary blue screen on the video cam screen, as if the DV stream had been interupted.

    At first I thought it was a problem with the clip so I checked it. It seemed okay. After a few hours I decided to trim the clip to get rid of the glitch area. I have to get this project out! Guess what? At about 15 minutes the same glitch but at a different scene. Now I started thinking it must be the computer. I finally figured out that my monitor was shutting off after 15 minutes. I changed that in power management and "poof," no more glitch.

    Maybe I can save someone else the trouble.

    Yup. Disabling all the power management features is a standard editing step. Nothing like having something shut down in the middle of things.

    It's also not a bad idea to turn off power management in the system BIOS as well.
