Hi, do I need to do anything special to sync sound to my 5D files? (additional sound recorded on a separate recorder). I have converted to pro res. I'm assuming the files are running 30FPS?

Does anyone have a solution to monitoring without over-riding the camera LCD? I know someone is working on a hack, but that's the future, and now is the problem at hand. Help?

Hi..sorry as this is probably a topic that's been covered. I have an HVX 200, but I am looking for a cheap little camcorder to complement it...I travel a lot, and I can't always bring the HVX with me because of size. Can someone reccomend the best for the money of the little HD camcorders..that...

Hi, I'm shooting in a few hours with a mini 35 system I have never used, and a technician suggested shooting 25P in video cam mode in order to st the shutter at 1/50.. is this the best way to get film like results? thanks for help.

Ok, I've searched...but days go by and more people have more experience. I'm shooting a new short, and I would like to shoot a few shots in slow motion, but most of the film will be shot at normal speed. I'm a quality addict, I'm scared the uprezzing of the 720 slow mo to 1080 will be...

Hi all, I'm about to shoot a new project, and am considering filtering in camera. Alot of you might go...why? Why not just use magic bullit? Like in cinema, sometimes taking a point of view before you start filming, gives you better results. I'm thinking about using a tobaco colored filter...

When downgrading from HD to SD on a DVCPRO 1080 project, I've been exporting to dv stream inorder to maintain the aspect ratio..it seems the easiest way to not distort the image..but am I losing quality by going to .DV instead of a .MOV?

I am having a problem exporting some quicktimes to FLV for use on my website. No matter how I export from FCP, when I create the FLV's the video does not activate and play on my website...I have thought this issue came from something in this particular FCP project as I never had it before (just...

I make FLV's from my quicktimes created in FCP to add to my website. On my latest project the FLV's are not playing properly on my website..audio but no image. It seems like there is a problem deep within the quicktime's I have exported from FCP. The strangest thing is that even when I print...

I keep coming back to color correction as the biggest thorn in my home post-production set up. FCP combined with a mac, is an amazing, powerful tool. Plugins such as Colorista give you the possibility to grade like a pro...but the bottom line is what monitor you are grading on. I'm working...

Hi I just compared some footage I shot and offloaded wia direct export to quicktime via P2LOG, with some footage my DOP shot but offloaded with FCP5.1.2. My footage has a lot more noise than his. The camera was setup exactly the same way. Is there any possibilty that P2logger is doing some...

I want to love scopebox, but somehow I'm scared I'm going to be throwing my money away. Has anyone used it on a serious project for HVX recording in 1080P. It quits a bit on me just when I've got isight on. It also doesn't have a zebra, which seems like an obvous shortcoming. I'm also...

Someone told me there is a new program, like DVrack made for mac...does anyone know the name...web address? Yes I know i can run DVrack on an intel mac...but I hate adding one more platform to my workflow. While I'm at it...has anybody actualy beta tested the pcmcia card to express card...
