When I have, say, five connected clips (all touching) on two layers above the primary storyline... and select all these connected clips to move them to the right, the timing between those clips changes. I have to go back and manually put them in the right place relative to each other. This a...

Just got hold of a GH2 which I'm in the process of hacking - been shooting thus far on a mix of GH13s and an AF100. But it seems that there's been very little news or development on the GH2VK, at least compared to the GH13, in terms of optimized settings, ongoing releases of patches and so on...

Thinking of picking up an EVF for a GH2 and the Zacuto seems to be the best option at the moment. The Pro model is nearly $300 more than the std one - is it really worth it, or is it just up selling? I want to use it as an EVF, not a monitor... so can't see really needing to flip up the...

I'm a GH13 user, and have been using an AF100 for a shoot for the 1080p slowmo. I'm shooting in 59.94hz to get 60p conforming to 23.98 frame rate for the best slow motion. My problem is that I only get 1/60 shutter instead of 1/50 shutter on the shutter wheel at the back of the camera, and it's...

I'm doing an ad shoot that involves a small element of water shooting with a surf-skier and don't have a housing. Anyone got experience with the Uwa-Marine bags on a GH1 and any advice/recommendations? It seems the U-A bag is the one recommended on their site, but B&H are sold out at the...

I've Winebottled the latest PTools (3.56), and have 1.32 firmware and the latest seta.ini and seth.ini LPowell settings in the same folder. Am I right in understanding that after I've loaded the 1.32 firmware, the A-J buttons should have the presets loaded? When I click on them a message comes...

What's the opinion on this board? I've got to shoot a ship from a helicopter at about 1000ft and was wondering whether it's worth renting an EX1 for this kind of shot? The rest of the shoot is on GH13s and the footage is looking sensational. It's all on Zeiss primes, but I've got access to the...

I've just got an MX02 mini to go with my new Mac Pro editing system, as I suspected that editing with Digital Cinema Desktop Preview was not giving me the full story. I expected to be informed, but frankly I'm a bit shocked. This footage was shot on my GH13 lpowell 40mbps hack, and I'm pretty...

Anyone else had problems infinity focussing a Tokina 11-16 Nikon mount on a GH? Thought it was the cheap Rainbow adapter but bought a (super expensive and beautifu) Novoflex and it's not. And ideas?

About to pick up a GH2 and Marshall 5" to replace one of my GH13s. What is the best HDMI cable solution? ie which brand/length/right angle or straight connector etc.? It's going to be used primarily on a Redrock shoulder mount and I want to avoid ripped/falling out HDMI cables as much as...

How do you get info on what Mbps rate the AVCHD is recording at? I'm running the 40Mbps AVCHD High Reliability patch and when Logged and Transferred into FCP in Prores LT it's being reported as 9.4-9.7 Mbps. Daylight, detailed flower bush shot. Prores HQ on the same clip in FCP is reported at...

Post hack should the camera display version 0.0 for the body or 1.33?
