Thanks, Brian. Great info that will definitely take several passes to really digest. The video there is excellent also.

I use FCPX, but kept getting odd gamma shifts that were introduced by the YouTube re-encoding. All my videos came out noticeably darker than the uploaded original file. Vimeo does not do that.

This may seem off-topic, but hear me out. I have a couple of questions about creating Canon CP files, and there seem to be experts here. I have a Canon XF100 and have created some custom CP files...

In the past, you could just enter *any* number and it would allow the download.

CP is the abbreviation for Custom Picture files - the settings files on Canon XF100 and XF300 series cameras that change the "look" of the video captured. You can create custom CP files, and you can...

Wow, a lot of questions here...
It's recommended to move Projects and Events from within FCPX, not in the Finder. Select an Event in the Event Library, and in the File Menu there will be a Move...

Sorry, instead of "lowered detail coring" make that RAISED detail coring. Higher numbers on sharpness settings increase sharpening, but detail coring smooths tiny details so raising that does more...

I don't have time for a long reply, but I also moved to the XF100 from the HMC40. Out of the box the look is VERY flat and uninspiring. The thing I had to learn is that Canon assumes that with this...

I don't think so, but of course the latest upgrade is very helpful because it shows I/O points selected. Before that was added the advice I followed was to just mark Favorites as you added a clip to...

In my opinion the XF100 is pretty decent in low light - not amazing, but definitely better than the Panasonic HMC-40 which I previously had access to at work. Just don't use full Auto in low light -...

I have the XF100 and love it. The XA10 has the same sensor but shoots AVCHD. Both work great with FCP7 and X - the only caveat is that with the XF100 there is a plug in from Canon required for use...

You may be wanting to go strictly Panasonic, but just a thought. I had access to an HMC-40 but had to buy a personal camera before the 130/160/250 came out. I got the Canon XF100 and love it. If you...

Screenflow is the most fully featured, and most expensive. It records the whole screen, including any of the OSX zooming you might do, and then you can crop in post to just show the part of the...

Wow, excellent writeup, Exact. I'm extremely happy with FCPX.

I also have a 2008 8-core Mac Pro that I've upgraded - 2TB media drives, SSD boot/apps drive, 14gb RAM, 5870 video card. It works...

Hey, Alex - as you know I own both of these. I got the Sony about 1 1/2 years ago, and just this summer bought a used G2 system from Alex. I was pleased that the Sony compared as well as it did with...

Well, first, wait until tomorrow (Tues. 10/23). Apple is announcing new stuff, and rumors are out about updated iMacs. They haven't been updated since last summer, so it's time.

<<I think I got the other fair use points right since my documentary is

Doesn't matter - it's all the same as to copyright law even if you don't sell the end product. Profit or...

Thanks for doing this. For a year or so I had access at work to a Panasonic HMC40, but when I bought a personal camera in May 2011 the 130 was not out yet. So, I got the XF100. I really like it, and...

I have the XF100 and use it with FCPX on a Mac Pro - the clips are actually already in an mxf wrapper. The Canon XF Utility doesn't convert anything - it just copies the files to the computer and...

I sampled a bit of the free Izzy Video training, but chose another route. I subscribed to lynda.com and thought the training there on FCPX was very good. If you have the time, you can subscribe for...

I think the quote was about mobile browsers...they quoted metrics showing well over 50% of mobile web traffic comes from iPhones and iPads, hence the "most popular" quote is technically correct.

Set Channel Configuration to Dual Mono - which you've already done.

Then a little higher up in the same window set Pan Mode to Stereo Left/Right.

The Mic+48v setting lets you use the mic without the battery, so just use the Mic setting if you have a functioning battery in the Rode.

If it's like the XF100...there is a menu setting to have...

After getting by with ambient light and sometimes a reflector, I just bought my first video light. I needed a very soft light that was super fast to set up to do interior interviews. After deciding...
