Will the new Sony SR1 HD camera with the hard disk storage work with FCP Studio? I read threads about how long it takes to work with HDV in FCP but I believe this has their new avchd program that Sony and Panasonic developed. I haven't read that FCP supports this as of yet. Would apprecaite...

Can anyone recommend a good helmet cam to go with the dvx100A? Some advertise a 580 line resolution camera, does that mean the dvx100A recording at 480 isn't compatible? Thanks for any advice Exe

I shot footage on a P2, loaded it onto my mac. It is now saved as .dmg files. FCP won't recognize them. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix this situation. Thank you very much. Exe

I filmed my daughter's baptism on p2 cards a couple weeks ago. Finally received my FCP upgrade and installed it tonight. When i would dump the info onto my desktop, I would save the cards as .dmg files. Why can't I import them into FCP? Could someone please help me. Thanks a lot. Exe

Could people please weigh in on the major differences between these two adapters? I see that the M2 ranges between 999-1300 while the Letus35 starts at 300. I appreciate any help in researching these two pieces. Thanks

Hello, I'm looking to purchase a dvx100a if anyone in Minnesota is interested in selling. No offense to all sellers, but I'd prefer to inspect the camera before buying. Thanks in advance

Here goes. I'm trying to post something that won't take multiple back and forths to convey what I'm doing. If I am shooting a golf movie outside, the shots will be mostly dialogue as well as golfing shots. I am renting not buying, I have a sound guy and boom guy at my disposal Is this a start to...

I apoloogize if this question is way off the mark. Is it possible instead of renting a mixing board, that there is computer software available that in essence does the same thing when using a shotgun mic. Reason I ask is if I'm shooting outside and I need a sound guy it could get tricky with...

I'll be shooting an indie this spring. While 95% of it will be outdoors, I ask for suggestions on lighting. Most shots will be 8 - 10 feet away. Will I need to rent lights? Will I be fine without? I'd sure appreciate some ideas. I'll be shooting with a XL2. Also if anyone can recommend a crt...

I have final cut pro 4 and when I go to apple you can download updates for final cut pro HD. When I downloaded the updates the manager puts them on my desktop. How do I import them into my fcp4 icons in my applications folder? Sorry for such a lame question, but am new to all of this and would...
