I haven't run into this before but here is what is happening... I am trying to digitize DV DVX100 footage shot 24pa. I can dig one clip at a time but when i log a few clips and try to batch capture i keep getting an error. Often times i get the .... "about to capture non drop frame media froma...

when recently shooting with my DVX100a i noticed that my timecode looks different. it only shows 3 sets of numbers (0:00.00) and instead of 2dots separating the numbers there is only the bottom dot. i could only assume that the camera got switched to DF somehow. when i tried to go into the...

when recently shooting with my DVX100a i noticed that my timecode looks different. it only shows 3 sets of numbers (from what i remember) and instead of 2dots separating the numbers there is only the bottom dot. i could only assume that the camera got switched to DF somehow. when i tried to go...

Most of my project has been shot using the DVX100a with 24PAdvanced settings. I'm editing in a 24fps seq. I've digitized my super-8 footage which has been transferred to DV but i'm getting interlacing issues. Any suggestions on how the Super-8 footage should be imported and can i use the two...

All my footage has been shot at 24PA but some of the tapes that i am digitizing do not get their pulldown removed. My easy set up is set to: DV - NTSC Audio video setttings, capture preset is set to: DV NTSC Advanced Pulldown What's random is that some of the footage off the tape came in...

Well, i've been snooping around the audio forum for quite awhile now and got some great advice. I wish i would have checked out the info. here sooner but here is where things stand and what i need help with... I've been working on a documentary for 3 years now. Due to the tight budget i had to...

I can't seem to find any posts on the settings to use to capture 24p advanced footage shot on a DVX100 camera through final cut. Can anyone forward me in the right direction? Thanks, Rob

Not sure if anyone has seen the documentary Rize but i just finished watching the behind the scenes footage and noticed that the DP was using a steadycamera rig that was made from a backpack. He had a backpack with a rod sticking out of it, then a string hung from the top and dropped down to the...

Does anyone know what the documentary Rize was filmed on? Any idea how it was lit as well? The film looked great and i was just wondering if anyone might have any technical info. on how it was created. Thanks! Rob

Hello, i just bought another DVX100A camera. My first was the DVX100, which i have been shooting with for the past 2 1/2 years on a documentary i am working on. I've been shooting in 24P advanced mode because of the possibility of one day going to film. What i'm wondering about is whether i...

I made this mistake before, where it took me 2 weeks to capture my footage only to find out i used the wrong settings in FCP. Can someone please tell me how i should properly capture footage i've shot with my DVX100? I'm shot everything at 24P Advanced. I'm working on a documentary and i'm not...

Just shopping for a good shoulder brace for my dvx100. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I'm shooting in the 24PA mode and was wondering what settings people are using to get a good looking image. I've brought my m ped down and color level as well, is there anything else i should adjust? Thanks, Rob

I have a DVX100 and don't get an audio delay but with my new DVX100a i get an audio delay in the Progressive advanced mode. How are people dealing with this issue? I'm concerned that the audio feedback will be recorded with my mic. Thanks

Hello, i've been shooting for the last two years in 24p Advanced mode and was wondering if i can switch to the 24p mode? I've spoken to a few cinematographers and they have recommended that i shoot in the regular 24 mode. If i switch, how will it effect me when it comes to editing? Should i...
