Some stuff transfer to 35mm ??

[aymar]

Hello - Hola !!

Well, i ask to everybody...

There's some professional project here working with this camera (HMC 150/151) for transfer to 35 mmm film? Like an indy documentary??

Someone shoot any interviews with long clips? like an usually interview: sometimes are more than 5 min. or 30 min.

I'm a professional director and editor of documentaries and for me HDV in postproduction is the worst system in the world. (it's a bad joke)

How works at the edit time this codec? For me transfer to a ProRes or other one
it's a poor system... where's the speed of work, if you need to change the codec before your edit??

Thanks for read... and answer!

As of today, HDV workflows are far ahead of AVCHD workflows so I think you'll be jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire on this one.


AVCHD looks much better than HDV and the tapeless workflow beats recording to tape to me and those are the two main reasons I moved from HDV to AVCHD...


I've never done any film-out work so take my two cents for what it's worth:
If I had to guess, I'd say that AVCHD would look better on film than HDV would but if you are not happy with HDV workflows then I really doubt you'll be happy with AVCHD workflow-wise.


I remember talk of transcoding HDV back in 2006 but I never needed to transcode it and I found HDV workflows to be somewhat straightforward and “fast” these last 2 ½ years I've worked with it.
I'm sure AVCHD will get there but I just don't see it as being anywhere as easy as HDV at this point in time.

Totally agree with what hidef said, there is lots of work to do before avchd (a better codec that hdv in my opinion) takes off.
Meanwhile the most efficient workflow is transcoding. However, there is people that with good computer has achieved real time (or nearly) editing.
