Now that I've been working in FCP and Color and have considerably more control over what we are producing, I would like to utilize the Panasonic BT-LH1700W monitor that we use in shooting as a monitor when making the final color corrections. My current computer is a Dual 2.5 mhz G5. Can...

Can anyone let me know how long the length of the spot label and slate information, should be at the start of a :30 spot? And should I put :30 bars and tone in front of the slate? Thanks, Martin Reuben

We are flying from our our studio in Cleveland to a San Diego location on the 22nd. There will be about 6 Pelican cases and some additional equipment - a total of about 10 cases. We can take the cases as luggage (and pay additional shipping charges) but we do have the option of shipping the...

I've imported about 60 minutes P2 footage shot at 480p / 30fps into FCP. My utimate goal is to remove some of the really bad takes and dead air to provide my client with a final file that he can take to his editor to work with on the finished product. He doesn't want to sit through watching...

I've recently aquired the G2 with the ME2 Lav mic and am having some problems with the audio going into HVX200. There is a fair amount of distortion in the voices. I've tried lowering the transmitter sensitivity as well as lowering the receiver's AF output level. It's helped some, but the...

While I'm waiting for the .75X converter to become available for purchase. I have an immediate need for the .6 for a studio shoot on Thursday, May 4. This shoot does not require full zoom. Could anyone tell me where I might be able to rent it for that day? Or if you have one and would be...

Is there any way to tell the HVX200 to NOT record any audio? We're starting some image testing with the camera, and I simply don't need any audio track. Canl I save space on my P2 cards by not recording audio? I know that I can choose to simply not import it into FCP. Thanks!

I've been working very successfully in the SD world for years now, with our XL1-S and FCP. Now with the HVX200 my head is feeling a bit like it is about to explode. The footage is beautiful beyond belief, but I must confess to being very confused about what HD settings to use when shooting...

We just got the Panasonic LH1700W monitor to go with the HVX200. In a studio configuration I would like to be able to view the image not only on the LH1700 monitor, but also on a conventional CRT TV as well. This is a 20" Sony that only offers S-VHS and Composite inputs. I've found that my...

Have several scenes recorded on the P2 Card. They are all showing up as thumbnails in the viewer. Pressing the play button will not make any of them play...selected or not. Checked the manual and still can't figure it out. The MCR lamp is lit. I know this is a simple thing....

Our HVX-200 is arriving Monday and I am wondering what monitor to use for it. Most of our use will be in the studio. There will also be some location work as well. I imagine we will want a medium size (19" or so) monitor for review. I want our clients to be able to see the image in high...

Just had a project that we'll be shooting next week. It would be perfect for the HVX-200. Does ANYONE have them in stock? Thanks!
