Thanks to all the help from this forum....and those who directly helped me.
I managed to copy back to a S-vhs tape my whole 1:20 mn project from my Hi-8 Sony camera.... good picture, color, no dropped frame... I am really glad I persevered. It sure took a lot longer than my old manual editing way...because I had to start from scratch.I never saw an edit program in my long life... I can take so much info before I shut down... but I learn the whole process, jargon ect...reading this forum, experimenting again and again, asking questions...experimenting... sometimes asking quite silly questions to the experts... but very needed answers were posted....I love the fact that knowledge is shared....
So, you out there, who are like I was a super novice,and want to use VF, there is hope and beautiful results.... keep experimenting and when hitting a road block post your questions....
Thanks again.....
