Hi Guys, Been looking around for answers to this one, so please help if you can... Our completed project is a 1920 x 1080 25fps (south africa) upper field, uncompressed 10 bit 4:2:2 quicktime. I would like to create a standard and an hd dvd using final cut 6.0.6, compressor 3.0.5 and dvd studio...

hi everyone, i met a cameraman from a local station the other day who said that he had a dvx100 and that he bought it to shoot a feature. he said that the way to shoot on a dvx if you want to make a feature and blow it up to show on a big movie screen is to do the following: shoot the entire...

hi everybody, hope someone can help me. i'm shooting an interview with a band and wanted to try that effect which looks as if someone disappears out of the scene (while the scene stays exactly the same), then reappears in the scene again, either in the same place or somewhere different (the...

hi everyone, I've just finished editing a programme in FCP and we are now going into the studio to do a final mix. problem is, my mate who's doing the final work for us runs adobe and i don't know where to get a driver or even if I need a driver so that his machine can see my mac hard drive...

Hi Everybody, I think I made a balls up. I shot close on ten hours footage on 25p (dvx100b) then imported it all into FCP5. However, I just realised that my easy set up was on dv-pal. Should it have been set up on the dv pal 24@25 option instead? Is this going to be a problem when I finish...

Hi Everybody, I need some advice, please. I recently worked on a commercial and the focus puller, who's been in the biz a long time, (they were shooting 16mm) said he had worked on a lot of digital sets also. He suggested to me that a great way to get the 'film look' and enhance the shallow DOF...

hi everyone, bit of a problem here, in a few of my clips one of the guys interviewed is speaking Zulu and I was hoping to have subtitles at the bottom of the screen translating what he is saying. Can I do this on FCP 5? I've checked through the text options but can't seem to figure out how (if)...

just received mine today from the sound room and when i pick it up it sounds as if there is a little screw or pin or something loose in there. is this a normal sound, like the 'click' on the dvx? haven't got my camera around to try it out either (already shipped to SA). should i be concerned? cheers

hi everyone, i've got the indiesnap mattebox and must now decide upon a few filters - i will be shooting outdoors quite a lot and have been advised to get a .3, .6 and .9 ND filter and circular polarizer. however, that's a lot of bloody money (glass just seems so much better than gel)! Any...

i have minimal experience with audio i'm afraid, but i was wondering if it's possible to use the oktava mk12 w/hypercardiod as an outdoor mic attached to a boom? i can get my hands on a severe weather cover, but that's about it. is this a reasonable request for a guy who can't afford to buy...

hi everybody, is it really a hassle to shoot ntsc in pal areas? ie. is it worth just renting a pal camera when i get there (south africa?) i'll be editing the footage there also and it's (hopefully) going to be for south african tv's. cheers

Anyone selling an IndieSnap Matte Box for DVX? With some filters maybe, like grads and .3 .6 .9 ND's..? cheers again

Im looking for Barrys DVX book and DVD for a good price. Anyone selling? Cheers PS. If you have a DVX100BE (PAL) for a good price I'll buy it also

anybody heard of globalmediapro? i found a few threads about them in the dvx100 forum that said they were legit, but they were all dated from 04 and 05 and i was wondering if anyone else out there has dealt with them fairly recently? cheers

Hi everyone, I just bought the dvx100b. I am a real rookie and I do apologize but please would someone out there give me some basic advice. Without using any technical jargon what accessories do I need to film a documentary both interior and exterior? I don't have much money so think rather...
