I want to download the production assistant, but when I go to is product page and click download trial, it takes me to the main software download page but it is not listed anywhere. Is it just me or is the program not available yet..
It is available. I think that when Sony went to update the page they cut the link by accident. They are supposed to be adding some video tut's on how to use it. Perhaps you should send them an email letting them know the link is down.
Well we solved the download problem in spades so maybe we can discuss people's experience using Production Assistant. I've downloaded it and am slowly climbing the learning curve. I like it but we could sure use some sort of manual or tutorial. Has anyone found any support material?
Start-Sony-Production Assistant- a help file of sorts with screen shots and workflow tips can be found there (or along those lines- I am not in front of my editor at the moment).
Yes there is a video QuickStart which is supposed to be available on the Sony site. They just probably haven’t updated the web page for Production Assistant yet. There is also a full training DVD.
I know it’s confusing without an overview but the QuickGuide will take you through a couple of workflows and you’ll be able to pick it up pretty quickly.
There is a User’s Guide under :
