Definition problems

Of course one of the problems of using cutting-edge technology is that sometimes other support technology isn't as up-to-date. Case in point, the Sony HDR-FX1 is an excellent camera, particularly when used in its 1080 high-definition video mode. Unfortunately, Adobe's Premiere Pro, which is what we use mainly at CTV, can't understand High Definition Video (HDV). The required plugin is due out January. CTV's Administrator is not impressed. He has a wonderful, beautifully shot, widescreen version of his programme, Gallery Watch, and the only way to watch it is by playing it back in the camera. Sometimes, even the best of us can be a little too smart for our own good.

I guess that means that devotees should stay tuned for an extra-special episode in January, or February or whenever the plugin is released.
