Hey all, I’ve had this shotgun mic for well over 5 years now. It’s been serving me well, and I use it with my Zoom H1 portable recorder. But I notice I have to crank the input gain on the recorder to get good levels. I’ll monitor the levels on screen and it will reach my to my liking at about...

Hey all, for those with the A6300 not sure if this applies to other A series. But when shooting in photo mode like Manual. When Silent Mode is enabled, I can’t use PP but only Creative Style. I would like to use my custom PP or any of the PP in photo mode. But when Silent Mode is disabled I can...

Hey all, what is a good B-cam for slow-mos that compliment or cut well with the A6300’s in 4K. The only other 4K-60p for inexpensive options is the GH5, but I’m not a fan of it’s color rendition and low light. And the FS7/FS5/FS700 w/odyssey 7q+ are way out of budget. All that’s left really are...

Right now I currently using my A6000 w/16-50mm as my A-cam for interviews, etc. I'm looking for a secondary cam that compliments my A6000. I could use another A6000, but I want a 4K so I can do cropping/reframing/etc. I prefer to stick with apsc sized sensor. So far I'm thinking of the A6300...

Hey all, I'm having issues playing rendered videos in DNxHR with the latest players. VLC won't play, an error pops up, and QT will stutter to play the video. This is in the latest Premiere Pro cc 2015.3 update. But if I render to DNxHD everything works fine. Anyone experience this issue?

Hey all, so I'm looking for a b-cam for my Red Scarlet MX for interview setups. Anyone with experience know if they intercut well? I understand there is a huge resolution difference. I would obviously utilize the raw workflow with the 5d-III. I appreciate any info, thanks!

Anyone here have or used one? I'm looking to get a viewing monitor to go with the Ursa mini 4.6K and BMMCC for LUT monitoring and anamorphic shooting since I use it a lot. I'm curious of its sharpness and clarity in comparison to the 502(1920x1080). Versus the 702 lite(1200x800), I prefer the...

With the rapid price dropping of the RED Scarlet X kits, is it a system still worth purchasing? They can be had for around $5k now a days. Older sensor and technology versus the dragon sensor which is implanted in all platforms now. I myself was looking into to it as well, and more will be...

Hey all, so I'm looking to upgrade my 4 year old custom PC. It's running a i7 2600k cpu with supporting parts. Runs pretty good, but editing 4K is a bit laggy but still manageable. I'm currently editing 4K and once in awhile 5K from RED cameras. I don't do any heavy visual/special effects...

I'm in a bit of a dilemma on choosing a secondary camera. Right now my main setup is a GH4 w/Atomos assassin for 10-bit 422 recording. Awesome setup and very satisfied with it. 2-3 years ago I had a 5D2 ML raw, didn't work out to well for me due to the workflow/bugs/etc. Just the other day I've...

Hey all, I shoot on a Panasonic GH2 with an Iscorama anamorph 2x lens. I seem to have an issue with rendering to a stretched format for anamorphic viewing. For project properties I can set it to 3840x1080, but in the render options under custom templates. It won't allow me to use a 3840x1080...

I wanted to know if there is a way I can create a custom project sizes in Final Cut Pro X. It's specifically for anamorphic widescreen, I already have the pixel aspect ratios. But I can't find where I can create one, all I can see or chose are standard presets. I appreciate anyones help. Thanks!

I'm currently shooting with a 2x anamorphic lens on my BMCC camera. I know in FCPX I can use the distort tab to squash or unsqueeze the footage no issue there. But what I want to know is, how much percent do I unsqueeze the footage? Since I can only input a percentage value. Thanks!

I just installed the Mysteron 154mbs hack, and everything installed fine. Now is there way I can check that the firmware is in the camera, or even running? I'm coming from Canon's Magic Lantern, and in the camera settings it would show the firmware name/type/etc. Also, if I wanted to change to...

I have 3 custom codec presets made in Sony Vegas Pro 10/11. Which are; Sony AVC, QuickTime-7, WMV. I upload lots of my videos(1080P) online via YouTube or Vimeo. I'm trying to figure out which rendering codec is the least compressed and has better image quality of the three? Rendering time is...
