Hi I have a Canon T2i and the Kit Lens. I have been shooting a whole bunch of low light footage with it recently and am not satisfied with the quality. I am going to ask for a new lens for my birthday, and hear are my requirements: Price needs to be $100-$200. $200-$300 is pushing it. I am ok...

Hi, I couldn't find the appropriate non-bias thread to post this in, so I thought I'd post it here. I am 14 years old, and want to edit film when I get older. I worked with FCP5 for three years, and then FCPX came out rendering previous liked versions obsolete. I want to edit on the same...

Hey guys! I have the Canon T2i and I am getting the Azden SGM-1x shotgun mic tomorrow. I was originally planning to get a $20 adapter and use the DSLR Cable to get good audio into my cam, but decided not to. Someone recommended me to get this Olympus Recorder...

Hi My name is Will and I am 14 years old. I edited on FCP6 for 2-3yrs until my hard drive crashed...and now my FCP is gone. I can't find the box, so I need to buy a new editing software. I want to be in the Broadcast/Media industry when I'm older, and I want to learn the software I will edit...

Alright. I have about $125 to spend on a decent audio solution for my T2i, preferably less. I have two options, both for about $100 each: The H1, and The H2 (I found this price local). So I'm assuming I could mount a H2 on a monopod or painters pole/DIY method and get great audio like many...

I've seen the Flycam nano and love it! I've seen the Manfrotto Steering wheel. I've seen the merlin. Now If you could only build one DIY Stabilizer, which one would it be?

I am a current FCP editor and 14yrs old. I want to go to college for broadcast engineering when I get older. My IMac with a 3.06ghz Core 2 Duo, 4gig ram, and Integrated 9400M Graphics recently crashed and I lost my copy of FCP. I also no longer have the box. I am looking into Student Software...

Was just out shooting for 5mins. I come back, and there is droplets of water all over my cam. I even was using an umbrella! What can I do to prevent this in the future? Is this harmful?

Ok, so I installed the E1 Plugin for FCP. I did the hack, and can't seem to get it to work. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it three times, making sure to follow each instruction very carefully each time. The memory card is called "EOS_DIGITAL". It records both THM and MOV files. The file...

Hey Guys! A few questions: -Is Magic Lantern safe? If I brick by camcorder I'm screwed. I NEED TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANY BIG CHANCE! -Is Magic Lantern hard to manage? -I have an $80 budge for audio. What should I get. I was thinking a monopod, azden smx-10 shotgun, and cable.

Can my Imac 2008 3.06ghz Core 2 Duo 4gb Ram 500gb HD 256mb graphics edit T2i footage smoothly? In FCP? It can edit HDV 1080i very smoothly, with renders at 2min max! Can it do this for avchd? If not, will it edit smoothly with renders less then ten minutes? I know someone who edits Red One...
