shooting in a room with a window and a color corrected softbox. Wondering whether I should use the window as me key and softbox as fill or the other way around. any thoughts?

24pa capture is a little buggy as I have discovered from firsthand experience and from what I gathered online. Can I capture as 29.97, edit the whole project, and then bring the entire project to cinema tools and use the reverse telecine process and STILL achieve the same quality I would have...

when I export to Quicktime movie from Final Cut, even though I check the box that says make movie self contained, it still produces a reference file. How can i create an uncompressed quicktime movie file?

(got a last minute gig tomorrow - don't have time to read the dvx book! nor is it available anywhere near me!) video is to be placed in a power point presentation and viewed on LED. I'm shooting 24p with dvx100a. should I go with squeeze, letterbox, or just 4:3. Video will also likely be used...

is there a big difference between the Sony "master" tapes and the "premium" tapes?
