Hi Barb, >>>> experiences with clients, the types of markets that are most receptive to video in France, most popular equipment choices, etc.<<<<< I've just spoken with my colleague who is V.P. with a video post production company here in Paris. They're using quadras for special effects with the usual software,photoshop, adobe, morph etc. However for their editing they've just gone numeric ( first french company outside the TV stations to do this). They use numeric mixer BTS DD20 numeric effects abekas A 57 write synthesiseur Quanta delta numeric color corrector BVX D10 numeric audio console sony DMX E 3000 editing table sony BVE 9100 Telecinema numeric BTS Quadra 4:4:4:4 with a ccorrection console Poggle Pandora DCP 4:4:4:4 This is one studio , they have two others with similar equipment. As for the DTV home market there are about 3 shops in Paris specialising in home video. They seel the usual editors such as vivanco, video pilot etc much the same as can be bought in the U.K. As for the boards and software (for PC) there is creative labs, orchid, Miro , vitec and Fast. Of course , an important factor is the possibility to produce and/or input SECAM as well( the french broadcasting standard). Otherwise the softs the same Video studio, video editor, moviestudio, adobe, mpeg player, video clip, asymetrix, video for windows, aldus, morph etc. There are no specialised video editing magazines for the home based market. There are two professional publications. There is one camescope user magazine. Hope that the information is useful and don't count on Tim Liebermann, I made a mistake got the wrong person ooOOoops!
