Hi all, I live in Asia and have been asked to shoot an interview... The problem is I have a NTSC DVX-100A and they are on the PAL system here. I read the forum and I understand that 24P is the way to go because it is closest to 25FPS, which means using the F5 setting. My questions are... 1...

Hi, I’m planning to shoot my first feature in Super 16, Telecine to Beta and Mini DV, and offline in Premiere Pro 1.51. Anyone have any positive experience exporting the EDL from PPro 1.51 and conforming the film negative/Beta? I have heard that earlier versions of PPro had EDL issues and I...

Anyone have a positive experience editing HDV in Ppro 1.5? I'm filming my first feature in Sept. and am debating whether to go with FCP5 because of the native HDV editing. Any comments would be appreciated... Thanks,

Hi All, I’m planning to film my first feature in September. I can’t wait for the Panasonic HVX-200, so I’m considering buying the Z1U. I have a few questions I hope you can help me with. 1. How do I get to 24fps with the Sony. I don’t understand the difference between shooting 50i and 60i...

I know this has been asked and answered a bazillion times, but I'm still not clear (I've ordered and am waiting for Barry's book/DVD). For someone who wants to film a short without the anamorphic filter and wants to show on a 4x3 TV in letterbox, on a 16x9 TV in 16x9 aspect ratio, and wants the...

Often when trimming, I cannot add a marked clip to the timeline when "Add Media From Curser" or "A" is pressed. I have the right track selected and the postion of the edit tool on the timeline is correct. Should I be clicking somewhere first? or is this a bug. Not sure what I am doing wrong, and...

Is there anyway to start the opacity envelope later than the beginning of the clip. For example 1 or 2 seconds of black then fade in? Doing this with composite levels is a pain when I start moving the clips around. Just looking for a cleaner timeline. Thanks in advance!!!

I am working on a project I filmed in 24pa using squeeze mode on the dvx100a (F6). When I preview on an external 4x3 television through firewire, I want to see the material in 16x9 aspect ratio with the black bars on the top and bottom. I have set the project properties to NTSC DV Widescreen and...

How do I add a point to an event's opacity envelope? i can add one to velocity, but not opacity. Is there any way to keyframe opacity?

How do you make a video distortion effect like theses guys did for their logo which is in the beginning of all their short films? I'm referring to the video which flickers on and off. The link is here and their work is great. http://www.digitalinterference.net/reel.html

I'm curious on how Robert Rodriguez was able to isolate the red color from the black & white footage in this trailer. Can I do this in Vegas? The link is here. You may have to save to HD first. http://overcaffeinated.net/extras/sincity_comiccon.mov
