I'm a total stranger to sound so please be gentle:embarasse.... I've always fancied the idea of recording my sound separately (perhaps fantasizing on something more "pro"), up until now I've been recording straight to camera (HPX170) and with the occasional help of some good friend on the boom...

I've just got a PowerBook to use on the field to offload cards... thing is that when I look for a P2 card manager software (on the panasonic website) they are all intended for Intel Macs only... is there a free version for not intel Power books? I want to be able to use the PCMCI slot in the...

Hello there... I have 720/25p footage at 50 frame rate that I would like to slow down even more... is it possible? what would be the best way to do it? I read somewhere about a technique called "Optical Flow" (no idea) ... can any of you gurus explain what that is and a way to achieve it? thanks...

I have a question... On the HPX170 the 180.0d angle (Film cam mode) is equivalent to 1/48th shutter speed when Video Cam is enabled, which matches with a 24fps sequence... when shooting on slow motion the result is smooth... My question is, what would be the equivalent in a 25fps sequence? I'm...

Just a question... and probably a dumb one... can I record VFR (slow motion) with my HPX 170 to Firestore? thanks

I'm trying to capture footage straight to my system (G5 dual 2.5, FCP6, DVCPRO HD 720 25p, Fire wire External HD la cie) to do some test and I'm getting a message from FCP "frames where dropped during capture..." and therefore I'm unable to get footage... Any suggestions?

So... probably a stupid question... I don't have a P2 card (we don't get freebies in Europe) nor a FS-100 (getting one soon)... Can I record straight to an external hard disk via Final Cut Pro with my HPX171? What's the procedure? Will this work with any frame rate? Native modes?... thank you...

Can any of you dvx gurus please explain to me the whole "pull down" thingy? I'm in PAL land and I don't know if this apply here... and what about 24p vs. 24pn? is there an equivalent to this on 25p footage? do we have a 25p and 25pn mode? totally confused ladies and gentelmen... i currently own...

I don't think I've ever seen DVCPRO50 footage... can anyone please post a link to some examples? I'm curious to see the difference with standard DV... I'm planning on getting the HPX17O, most of my paid jobs are on standard def though (I own a DVX100b, still a magnificent camera!) so I thought...

Hello there, Does anyone know a solution to have on board light on the DVX once the shoemount is used with a mic holder (k-tek shoemount)?... I need extra and portable light together with my shotgun micro. Can anyone of you video gurus, point me into some direction here? Thanks in advance and...

Hello there, I droped my DVX battery and... crack open. I've used gaffer tape and still works... I know, you 'll say why don't you just buy another one, thing is, I need it urgently tomorrow. question: would it be dangerous for the camera to use it anyway?is this a stupid question? Ladies and...

Don't know if this is the right place... anyway... What are the "must" for a good videoprojector?

BTV Pro, I've used this a few times for Timelapse... any comments? Anybody ever tested it? I found it quite good, but then again you guys are the gurus.http://www.bensoftware.com Check their website.

I know this is probably a very stupid question but here we go... I live in PAL land and I've spent a few months shooting a doco in NTSC land. Now I would like to cut a rough version to send on a DVD to some people I worked with over there. So, once is all ready in FCP, how can I convert the...
