Here's some screengrabs of a recent camping trip to Leo Carrillo Campground in Malibu. None of this video has been CC'd yet so this is all straight from the camera.

The following is a general guide on how to set up a Glidecam for use with a DVX100. Glidecam Weights for DVX100 I have a Glidecam 3000 (which is basically a 4000 and is functionally the same) and a DVX100 standard except for slightly larger battery. No additional microphone, no on-camera...

Someone please tell me if this is the proper method to get 24p DV into After Effects and back to the NLE as intact as possible. 1. I import 24p DV footage(AVI) into After Effects. 2. I "interpret footage" and have AE guess it's 3:2 pulldown. That takes the footage from 29.970 to an effective...

I happened upon some hummingbird feeders the other day so I pulled out the camera and shot some footage in the DVX's shuttered mode. It's pretty interesting looking to see that the shutter can essentially stop their wings in motion. The 2nd half of the clip is non-shuttered but still nice...

It is daunting to attempt to do bluescreen work with DV, but I'm trying to make it work as best as possible. Here is Part 1: Bluescreen Test The lighting doesn't completely match, so that's a dead giveaway but the results are not too bad. For this short clip, I used After Effects and the...

I recently picked up Barry's DVX book and I was trying my hand at doing the 30p slow motion look with Vegas. Well, I followed the directions to spec: 1. record footage at 30p 2. slow footage down to 80% in NLE (I set up a velocity envelope to do this) What's supposed to happen is that you get...
