I would like to do some slow motion testing with my DVX100a, and I've been reading that shooting it in 60i at 1/120 shutter speed and slowing it down 40% in fcp would give best my best results. However where is this 60i rate setting? My choices in advance mode are...off, 30p, 24p and 24p (adv)...

I'm a sucker for clarity, I like all or most of my shots in sharp focus, From a object 3 inches in front of the camera to infinity. Reason is that I use alot of steadi-cam shots and I'm always moving. Right now I'm doing it the way I would with my old VHS cameras. Setup camera at my starting...

I just finished shooting my first short "Friday Mourning" using my new DVX100a. I jumped right into this project without doing much testing so I basically learned on the fly, And what a learning experience it was. I shot and edited it using 24pa Advanced. Please check it out and any feedback and...

Hi, I just finished a short shot using the DVX100a 24fps advanced and edited it in FCP using 24p pulldown and would like to make a 24p DVD. I heard there was a way to do this but I don't quite understand how to do it. Thanks

Hello All, I'm in the process of finishing a short shot with the DVX100a 24fps Advanced and edited using FCP. The whole production looks fantastic, but I'm running into a really annoying problem with some audio clips. After I drop a aiff. file into the timeline and use the razor tool to edit the...

Hi, Just wondering how I crop in FCP 4. My Mic shows up in a part of a scene I want to keep after zooming out. I can't seem to fiqure it out. I know that Premiere has that feature and FCP must have it. Any help will be appreciated! Thanks

My new 5 hour LI-ION battery pack just ran out of juice so I put it on the charger and the charging light went off after being on for 30 seconds. I immediately thought it was a bad connection so I took it off and put it back on and the same thing happened. Is this something to be concerned...

After a little research I came up with this ...I'd get better image quality if I shoot in 24p standard or F5 and capture and edit in 30p then I would if I shoot in 24p advanced and capture and edit in 24p then transfer back to 30p, unless of course I was definitely going to transfer to film...

I just received my Panasonic and did a few 24p test with it and noticed that the recorded footage when played back seems really staggered but not as bad as seen through the view finder. I started with the F6 settings and tweaked them a little bit to match the suggested settings from other users...

Hi , I just bought a brand spanking new DVX100A and I also purchased a pro-wide angle 0.5x lense for it. The problem is I get this black halo around the visual area. I never had this problem with my Sony TRV-9 even with a fisheye on it. What do I have to do to get rid of this? Any help will be...
