Hi all, So my workflow in transferring / transcoding has been this: 1. plug HMC150 in to MAC 2. copy the "PRIVATE" folder, the main directory on the SD card, over to HD 3. when time to edit, I log and transfer from the "PRIVATE" I've noticed something weird. After plugging in the cam to the...

Hey everyone... I just noticed something that is a bit worrisome. attached are 2 stills taken from the HMC150. 1. with a Hoya UV filter purchased on eBay (used) 2. without filter As you can see, it looks horrendous with all the little specs with the filter on. without the filter. its better...

Looking for one of these guys, ideally with XLR cable and a windscreen beyond the included foam one. thanks!

Hey Everyone, I was eyeing this hard drive since it's portable, 7200rpm, and g-drive has a solid reputation. http://www.g-technology.com/products/g-drive-mini.cfm the only question is the 8mb cache. does cache make a real difference though? i read that editing video doesn't matter so much for...

Hello all, Hours of search, still unclear. i'm using panasonic tm900 which records: 1. 1080i60 (29.97 fps) 2. 1080p60 (60fps) 3. digital cinema mode 24p, but its not a true 24p, its wrapped in 60i, so its really 29.97 fps. that alone took some time to confirm. my goal is to get the motion...

Continued confusion amongst codecs... using panny tm900 so avchd at the moment. Instead of going crazy over all the info online about which is the best codec for quality and editing, which left me more confused, i'm going to setup some tests, and just record clips and covert to all choices and...

Hey everyone, So the panny tm900's iframe is suppose to be 960 x 540 resolution, but then, why does the video show up and plays back at 1080? Also, in my MTS converter program, it shows resolution to be 1080 under 'fiile info' very confusing. thanks

Lots of info out there. still unclear as to why AVCHD is harder. both formats require log and transfer, but AVCHD needs to be transoded. ok, i got that. but during the log and transfer for DVCpro, it spits out .mov files, so its doing some kind of conversion right? both formats go thru a...

hello all, so i'm new to final cut and baffled at the unusual render issues i've encountered from the get go. i recorded some video using the canon fs-10 / fs-20, a lowend digital camcorder. the camera outputs the format to .mod which i then converted to .mpeg4. without any editing in FC...
