Bob,

Could you help me?...I've been asked to score a 30 minute documentary and need to know if i can do it in SS, how to lock the video to the music and what to ask the video house for (what kind of file) and lastly, what to charge for it? Thx!!!

You can certainly do it in SS... what to charge would be your choice...

A Microsoft DV format in an AVI file would be the easiest to work with...

Otherwise... some kind of mpeg 2 or 4 format... although these do not scrub as smooth unless you render them with the I frames down to 1 or some other small number like 10... most standard I frames in these formats are about 200... which causes scrubbing single frames to be very very slow and jumpy.

I use quicktime pro to export MOV files (what I usually get from clients) to AVI for use in SStudio. The accuracy of AVI is a must.

Bob,

Thank you very much for your reply!

Saw Studio is the best, without a doubt and,
your support is the greatest!

Thanks Arco for your comment!
