 * //**Adobe Acrobat**// - when you're trying to create a pdf from the Epson scanner sometimes it won't connect the first time.
 * **//Adobe Premiere//** - tutorial videos from Adobe TV
 * when you start a new project, before you do anything else, save the project to the Media drive. This will result in all your footage also being captured to the Media drive so it won't disappear the next time the computer is restarted.
 * Choose your sequence presets to match what you shot. miniDV tape or the Panasonic DVD camcorders are DV-NTSC. Standard 48kHz for 4:3 footage, Widescreen 48kHz for 16:9 footage. For AVCHD choose HDV, then AVCHD
 * The best way to work with AVCHD footage is to copy the entire AVCHD folder from the camera to the Media Drive, then import the files into Premiere from the Media drive.
 * When you want to export your finished video, premiere sends it to Adobe Media Encoder. To export a sequence from the timeline pull down File to Export. Select Media. Click on Output Name to select a location on the Media drive to save the file. Click OK and the file will be loaded into Adobe Media Encoder. You can add multiple files to the media encoder, then click Start Queue and come back in a few hours.
 * Check Preferences/General to have still images automatically import in a size that fits the screen (rather than way too big - unless you want that so you can fly around and zoom in on details)

 * //**Canon HF-R series**// - try to record in mp4 format. 4mbps is usually sufficient.
 * **//Epson Scanner//** - If it's not working, check the power switch on the side of the scanner. This unit can also do transparencies. For 35mm slides you must remove the white foam part in the scanner lid and place the plastic slide template so the letter 'C' lines up at the left. You can load and scan 4 slides at once. 35mm slides are considered Positive Film. What resolution you set depends on what you want to do with the images. For computer presentation (ie. powerpoint) 1200dpi is usually plenty. By default Epson Scans saves files to My Pictures on your network space in a file called img001.jpg.
