Possibly less than he does now, actually. Less time, certainly. With a setup designed to play back video in real time (or even faster), all you need to be able to do is capture the time code when you think there's a good shot, and look at perhaps two or three frames around it. Fifteen years ago you could do that with a jog dial and an analog VTR; I'm sure the modern digital equivalents can do that faster than most image editing programs can flip between still images. And at least watching at video rates means you can skip over the junk much faster than bringing up each frame individually. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
