I shot a ton of footage on the 5D and have been editing it now (the converted pro-res files) for over a month.. In the span of 2 days, I moved a bunch of files to a different external HD, and my FCP application shut down and I had to reinstall it... So, about half of my files are offline and I...

Hi - I just shot a tv pilot using the HVX 200 and recording on P2 Cards... Problem is, on some of the days, we shot multiple groups of cards, and the folders are now all mixed up... Log and Transfer is only recognizing the "Contents" sub-folder, and not the "Contents 2" subfolder below it. I...

Anybody have any ideas on how to best convert my 5D footage from 1080/24p to 720/24p DVC PRO... I shot the majority of a documentary recently on the HVX 200, and want to cut in a bunch of 5D B Roll... Still trying to find the best solution for 5D in FCP... Using Compressor, MPEG Streamclip, or...

I am currently trying to update my HVX200 so that it is compatible with the new E Series P2 Cards... I have downloaded the new firmware from the Panasonic website, and I dragged and dropped that folder onto my sd card and re-inserted it into my HVX... What Next??? The sd card is in my HVX but...

Hi all, what is the difference in recording in Quicktime vs. P2 on the Firestore FS 100? Is there a difference in quality, or is it just the format of the clip? Do you need to import it differently into Final Cut Pro? Thanks a million. DM

Hi - I have edited a bunch of footage in one sequence. I would like to drag certain clips from that sequence, into a new sequence. For some reason, the clip size is changing and a matte is appearing. I have set the clip sequences properly, but the new sequence clips still don't match the...

I am working on a project and I can't figure out how to Log and Transfer numerous Content Folders from my FS-100... When I try to copy all the date from the FS-100 onto an external Hard Drive, my computer tells me that a folder entitled 'Content' already exists, which it does, from the previous...

I am trying to understand HD filmmaking a little better... 3 questions... 1 - Does 1080x720 mean lines of resolution or dpi (dots per inch)? 2- When shooting @ 60fps, more information is collected per frame, correct? Then why not shoot all footage at 60fps if there is more information and...

I may have missed something, but I can't figure out how to utilize the Interval recording on the firestore FS-100. I am running the HVX with no tapes, no P2's, directly to the FS-100, but the camera isn't recognizing the firewire port in any alternative recording modes. Anyone have any idea...

Hi - I just bought the FS-100 and I am having troubles viewing the clips on my HVX-200. They are recording, so it seems, but when I switch the camera into vcr mode and try to view the clips, there aren't any, just blank blue clips. And... does anybody really understand 24PN recording? It...
