    HELP! Different Framerates!

    Hey everyone. Somehow I managed to send an OMF with the correct settings (23.976FPS, 16 bit, 48kHz) and a PAL (25fps) video to an outsource audio source. The Outsource audio guy used a 25 FPS timeline to edit the audio, and he has done quite a bit. It has taken me until just now to figure it...

    Timecode Drifting!

    Hey so I have this exported QT file the burn-in is different than the actual time displayed by quick-time. The footage is 23.976, and playing back at 23.976, but the burinin is significantly slower by a few seconds at the end of the film. The QT reads 1:47:26 and the burn reads 1:47:20...

    Minolta or Nikon?

    Hey guys, Just wondered what everyone's opnions for a starter lens set are? Minolta was some of the best glass in the 70's and 80's, but Nikon seems to have taken that market. Thoughts?

    Time Lapse in After Effects

    Hey, Is there any kind of expression that I can write that will only play every nth frame. I am trying to make a time-lapse out of footage that is an hour long. I don't want to just speed up the footage though. I would do this on my HVX if it was not broken in Michigan... waiting for the...

    FCP7, Blu-Ray, Final Cut Studio 3???

    Hey have we heard any word on if there is going to be a major update, or has Apple left us high and dry? Adobe is really going all into this market, I feel like Apple should be planning something big...

    Shooting a fire scene

    Hey guys, Our group is shooting a burning trailer this weekend with 2 adapted hvxs and two non adapted ones. What are some things to be aware of with the light of a fire and a lens adapter (I'm not completely sure which adapter). We only have a half hour for somewhere in the range of 40 shots...

    Running Multiple On-Set Monitors

    Hey guys, First let me apologize for posting an ebay link... I just can't find this anywhere else. Here is the situation. We are shooting a feature film on a budget that is not very friendly to the camera department as much of our equipment is graciously donated or loaned. We have an HD...

    Growing Lens Supply

    Hey guys, I do not own an adapter yet, but I do own a Nikon D80. I love to shoot still photos, and I am saving to buy a Letus with the Nikon mount. Anyway, I am looking for a descent 50mm lens. I would love something like a Zeiss, but that's a little out of the price range right now. I was...

    Protect Issues?

    Hey guys, I have heard some stories that using the protect tab too many times (every time there is an offload) will eventually render the card useless - is there any truth to the tale. Am I good to protect the card during an offload? Thank.

    Component HD to HD/SDI

    Ok, So I know there is no magical adapter that can change my analog signal to digital, but I was hoping someone may be able to help me get a cheap method of getting signal to my monitor. The HVX obviously outputs the analog, and I have a Marshall V-R70P (HD/SDI) monitor that my friend has...

    Maximum Length of Firewire Cable

    Hey guys, I have done a lot of search on the site for this, originally to find out if you could do HD live to FCP (:Drogar-Dum(DBG):), but then I realized I need a longer than 3ft cable if I want to make this happen. What is the max length if I am recording 720p/24p - not Native (learned that...
