Dear Fuzzy Barsik,
thanks a lot for your message. This sounds much more positive :-) So far my trial project (OSX 10.6.8) works fine. Will keep an order as suggested.
However there seems to be an incompatibility between my video clips and sequence settings. When I drag the first clip into a new sequence, the programme asks me if the sequence settings (AVCHD 1080i25 (50i)) should be changed to suit the footage. I accept. Nevertheless the yellow bar appears in the sequence pane and rendering is required.
Any clue how to avoid this?
Cheers Schorsch
