I am finally selling my DVX. It has served me well and I wish I could keep it but I just don't shoot video much anymore and barely used it as the 22 hours on the heads shows. It is in perfect condition as it has always been kept in the hard case and has had the UV filter on it since the first...

Anyone have any experience with exporting the timecode from the video capture files? Like the ability to take all the in and out points.....the name of the clip, format, and any description you have given it and export them out to an excel spreadsheet for instance? All that information is...

I saw it and really liked it. It is very good. Shot mostly on 16mm. I am just wondering...for the underwater shots, why did they go with the sony pd150/170? Why do people choose these cameras instead of the dvx for film-out? I saw open water on the big screen and was a little disappointed...

Well, I have wanted to try the uprezzing procedure that Disjecta has kindly outlined for us a while back using photozoom pro. I never really got around to it after I read the post last October, but recently I have been playing with it. I use vegas primarily and know that many people have had...

Does anyone else have a 1 pixel tall horizontal line on the top and bottom of their lcd and in the viewfinder of their camera's screen when they record in letterbox mode? I am not sure if it does that on 4:3 or not. It is just a lighter color line for the border....I have never noticed it...

I am thinking that I will for sure go with the bogen 503 head but as far as the legs go, i was going to get the 301's but I think that I might want something smaller like the 755. speaking of the 755 MDeVe....does anyone think that it is worth saving 40 or so bucks and going with the 756...

I have used vegas for quite a while now and feel that I have a good handle on everything. One thing has always bothered me about it though, if the file size for the clips that you capture using sony capture are the size of standard microsoft avi's....and those are the original source data which...

I am wondering if purchasing a deck such as this, would it work properly with the DVX timecode? Is there anything special I should know or should any mini dv deck do everything any other mini dv deck does...

I don't understand because It has worked before, but when I try to render chroma blur to a new track, the new track doesn't have the effect. The preview track, after adding the effect shows it looking great, but then I do render to new track, and it's not working. I have tried other effects...

I am going to take my DVX on a plane for the first time. I am wondering what to do exactly. I have the pelican waterproof hard case. But I am in no way thinking that I would check the DVX in that. I think I will carry it on in a backpack. But is there any way that the dvx can be hurt by going...

I have only used two tapes in my camera....(dvx100a of course)...both have been dry lube...never had a tape that wasn't a MQ or a PQ in it. One day.....in a pinch, I recorded over half of one of the two tapes I have run through it......Is there some sort of process that is the proper way to...

Ok, I know you make each event cropped to 16:9 to make sure that any effects do not apply to the black bars on the top and bottom of the 4:3 picture. But what about transitions? Is there a good way to make sure that my "hard flash" transition for instance...does not make the top and bottom black...

I am filming in Letterbox mode, and the stuff that isn't in filmed in letterbox I am just selecting 16:9 on the indivdual events. I am going to play this on a projector. I am wondering what settings I need to do to acheive this look when played on a projector. What I have been doing is using...

I have some questions about the functionality of vegas. I probably won't remember everything I want to ask, but I'll ask this one simple question first. Lets say I have a couple of video tracks and several audio tracks. And I select a section and want to create splits on each end, so I hit the s...

disjecta has so kindly outlined the steps to uprezz our wonderful DVX footage under the technical section. But I am using Vegas 5 and was wondering how you would go about doing this. I am not sure there is a way to do it within vegas without using some kind of third-party software. Anyway.. I...
