No, you don't want your hand in the air.... hold the pen as if you were going to write, then rest the side of your hand onto the tablet. Then just tilt your wrist slightly towards the tablet when you want to touch it. When you want to move across the screen, slide the side of your hand (and the side of your little finger) across the tablet. Get your hand position right (and comfortable) then practice just rocking your wrist to get the pen to touch the tablet. Go here http://www.wacom.com/productinfo/intuos.cfm and look at the little anim at the top of the page. You can see the position of the hand. I suspect your problem is that you're not resting your hand properly on the tablet, so aiming is too hit and miss. Try moving the tablet close / further away sideway to your keyboard, and also further back up your desk, so that your arm rests on the table.

I tried the Wacom Graphir4 for a few hours. I can't stand it. I wish I can. It's hard to move across screen with my hand floating in the air without pressing the tip as the mouse click. Any tips you can share with me to get thru this?

Wouldn't use a mouse again.... takes a day to get used to it, then you never look back!

They keep showing functionality of Premiere Pro 2. A lot of the effects they show has a red line above the time line which means they are not real time and need rendering. The presenter doesn't know why that happen but saying these effects are accelerated but not Realtime. Then I asked isn't that RT in RTX2 means Real Time. People laughed and that was the end of the conversation. Anyway, the presenter was using a pen tablet instead of a mouse. I understand many artists will find it useful to draw instead of a mouse. Does anybody has experience in using this kind of tablet to edit in Premiere Pro?
