Anybody involved in the digital arts field be it photo, video, graphics and/or web is undoubtedly going to encounter technical problems. These could be very simple general problems or bugs that many others have figured out a work around or they could be specific to the user and their equipment and/or software.
My guests have left, the house is quiet so I thought it was a good day to update my demo reel. I wanted to digitize some projects I had on a mini DV tape and I already encountered my first technical problem on my computer. I won't bore you with the details, but if you are interested it involves a Sony HVR Z1 and Adobe Premiere Pro CS5. You can find my problem here.
The purpose of this post isn't to recruit the talents and man hours of some willing individual to solve my problem (although, that would be nice) but rather to remind you if you are having technical difficulties and are running out of hair to pull out then check out some of these helpful tech forums:
Adobe Forums
Avid Forums
Creative Cow
Final Cut Pro
They have saved my rear and many occasions and you can often (after usually many hours of sifting through the threads) work out your problem. If you can't, then create a new thread.
Remember, forums are your friends.
