I frequently receive PDF files with pictures in them. Is there an easy way to copy them out? I've tried following directions to put them on a clipboard, but I can't find the clipboard that they allegedly go to. I work on windows and edit in Adobe Premiere. I wish Adobe would allow PDF files to...

I shoot with a Canon J17ax7.7B4... The colors seem to be washed out, especially as compared to a GoPro 1. I shoot with a Sony DVCAM HD. White bal and black balanced properly, but the colors are not vibrant. The lens is at least 10 years old, can the age of the lens be an issue? Thanks

One of our local police departments hands out dashcam video frequently. It's on dvd MPEG-PS. I can't get it into Adobe and my colleagues have similar issues with Avid and Final Cut. We've been shooting off of a monitor screen, but that doesn't look good. Any suggestions in converting it? It...

I work in a bureau, so I check the competitions websites to see what they've been up to. And also to see if I missed anything... A funny thing yesterday, I checked the competitions website, and I saw a link to a story. "Wow, I did that story yesterday..." I opened the link, and it was my story...

I had a busy day recently, four pkgs airing between 4:30 and 6 on two different stories. Producer calls and asks for tease video. Not having a lot of time between editing and live shots, I grabbed some video, raw, and put it on a timeline and fed it. I told the editor who took in the feed that...

We edit on adobe premier 5.5. Shoot XDCam on sd cards. Our stringer shoots on P2. I can't import his video into premier. Adobe won't combine the files. Am I missing something? Or do I need to get a P2 driver installed on the laptop? Our work around is that the P2 files are converted to a .mov...

My reporter will log the sots, and then give me the timecode. Is there an easy way to see what clip they are refrencing in the bin. I've asked him to give me the clip # also, but after 30 yrs of logging tape, clips are foreign to him. Sometimes I have to go through 15+ clips just to figure out...

Peacocks in this once quiet neighborhood, have become a problem. We covered the story for several days with residents complaining to the city to get rid of these beautiful but loud and destructive birds. The day I shot this, my reporter was on vacation. I didn't find out until after I shot the...

How could you let this stand up close air? This is NY. Supposedly, the "TOP" market. Then still let it onto the web, geez, are there any standards? I've screwed the pooch a couple of times myself, and made it a straight pkg instead of a looklive. Just go to the end of the story and see for...

Our local Sheriff Dept. has asked us not to radiate (go Live) when they are using their 3D Scanning System. They tell us that the microwave knocks their system out and wipes their data. They then have to recalibrate and start over from scratch. The Homicide Chief was the one telling us that, he...

Anyone in town for Fridays launch of Endeavour?

Is it just me, or is anyone else having problems withn the "new" computer microwave transmitters? It seems that I'm constantly having to go into the operating system and recalibrate the power config. Or go into the video inputs and put them back into the proper sdi format. It seems that there is...

I'm fed up with PIO's... I work in a bureau, and if my reporter is off, I get told,"Make beat calls." Rarely do they ever call back. And if they do, they aren't forthcoming with info. I find this wth both civilian and uniformed PIO's. On more occassions than I could count in my 20+ year career...

Are you experiencing this: OVERTIME Not Authorized... I'm no rookie, 20+ years shooting, but lately been getting the OT Not Authorized line. They send me on breaking news at the end of my shift, I get there, then they tell me OT Not Authorized. I'm at the breaking news, but now they tell me...

Yes, I'm still working in the 20th Century, editing tape to tape DVCam. But I'm wondering if there is a firewire connection that I can take out of a Dell Laptop and either plug into my DVCam deck or camera. There are times we get surveillance video that will only play on the laptop and I hate...

I took a hard look at my potential retirement benefits today. I've been investing in my 401K for the last 10 years, mostly at the 10% level (with 6% matching funds from my employer). About a year ago, I increased it to 20%. That's a big chunk of change and a major change to my lifestyle. So...
