Like in my previous post, my editing software, Adobe Premier 6.5 died on me. I am not sure if it is the fault of my dv camera (Sony TRV900 which is now an obsolete prosumer model) or XP has some broken files, missing drivers or something else. I have been editing for nearly 8 months on this machine and it worked absolutely fine. But now I realised that the fake / squeeze 16:9 function creates much instabilities during the editing process. Adobe Premier 6.5 performs wonders and the final edit of my shots are rather professional. However now it stretches the images which were shot in fake 16:9 into 4:3 display. All this while I switched my camera to 16:9 that gives it a tiny film look because of the black bars at the top and bottom; letterbox. Nonetheless all of a sudden Adobe recognizes the underlying format of 4:3 and does not read the images in 16:9. Therefore everything is elongated, much to the elation of chubby folks like me. We look extra tall and slim.
I have been told to uninstall Adobe and XP. I need to add-on 16:9 converters software or to download relevant plug-ins. But it worked well and I never encountered such problems and hindrances. Still software are highly unpredictable creatures. They wear-out, rebel and make enemies along the way. As a result of which they get into conflicts with other software, programs and peripherals.
Nothing remains the same and everything dissipates within the illusion of time. After all even computers and machines are not exempted from old age, sickness and finally death.
