    Can a 4:3 external monitor mirror the viewfinder?

    Hello everyone, I'm currently using the HVX on a jib, connected to an external vari-zoom monitor which is 4:3. When I plug the RCA cable into the camera's video out, the image stretches to fill the full 4:3 frame, rather than displaying letterboxed as it does on the camera's LCD screen. Is...

    Capturing DVCam with timecode in FCP 5.1

    Hi Everyone, I can't edit HD on my FCP system, so I have a DVCAM dub with synced timecode. If I capture this using firewire and a DSR11 deck, will the timecode sync be maintained? Do I need a serial connection to truly keep them together? My plan is to edit the DVCam offline, and then use the...

    35mm to 1080i DVCPRO 100- Can it be done? Can it be done in Toronto?

    Hi Everyone, I've been shooting with the HVX and enjoying it a lot, especially the way I'm able to edit in the DVCPRO-100 format. I'm directing a short on Super35 later this week, and I was wondering if there's any place in Toronto (or anywhere, really!) that will take that 35mm negative and...

    Editing system - Quad G4, iMac or Macbook Pro?

    I'm putting together a quote for my work on a mac-based HD editing system. Something that can import, edit, and deal with all possible types of footage that can be shot on the HVX. Does it make sense to get the Quad G5? Obviously everything is transitioning to Intel, so I'm hesitant to suggest...

    Hi everyone, The NAB conference is coming up, which is obviously a big one. I also know of the Screenwriter's expo in Novemer, and there's the Robert McKee "Story" seminar, which people have said both good and bad things about. Can anyone recommend some other trade shows, whether they're...

    Importing DVX into (or renting) in St. Martin / French Virgin Islands

    Hello everyone, The company I work for has just been contracted to shoot a video for a resort in the Virgin Islands, on the French side of St. Martin. If possible, we'd like to rent a DVX, Tripod, Lights and a jib on the island, to avoid shipping all our gear down there. The weight of the...

    Should I buy the HVX? Trying to decide on the best project workflow

    Hi all, Here's the situation I'm in: I recently received a $25,000 grant to direct a 7 minute comedy short that I wrote. I was originally thinking of shooting on 35mm, but I think that will stretch the budget too far. Now I'm trying to decide between buying the HVX-200 camera and shooting with...
