Wow, this is some amazing feedback! Thanks so much. Don, I love your process - can I be you? Buddy, yours was awesome and I love the '40 and not skinny' character naming idea as much as I aspire to never be her!

I know, it's been ages, huh?

Is anyone familiar with re-writing strategies? Obviously you can write the second draft from scratch without looking at the first draft. Or you could just take the first draft and change it according to instinct or feedback. Does anyone know of any other strategies?

Hi all, I'm trying to transfer data from 8mm tapes to digital on my hard drive. The 8mm camera upon which I made the 8mm videos has died. My newer digital camera has a firewire port and an S-video port (although I don't really know what that is and have never used it). So, does anyone have...

Wow, that's a lot of good information! Thank you! So can I edit on FCExpress from my 24p camera (so far so good apparently) and THEN buy CineTools separately to make my video look like a film? Catalina

This is the critical question for me. I hope someone can answer this so I can finally go out and get the right software! Catalina

never heard that one before LOL I'll have to tell my mother! Catalina

I just read Florian's introduction and realized that even though I joined and began posting last week, I never introduced myself. Now what are people going to think of my manners?! Hi. My name is Catalina and I'm in Northern California. I'm 22 and just finished college and trying to figure...
