I'm wondering if you format your SSD to work for direct recording from a GH6 can you still use the SSD to store other files or does it have to be dedicated to recording GH6 video?

I've read that using a colorsync profile with your computer monitor can really help your computer monitor display accurate color. I've got a new Thunderbolt display. Should I be using the default colorsync profile or HD 709 A or something else?

I've got a couple of feature length screenplays that are close to being ready to submit to competitions and screenplay categories at festivals. However, I've never submitted a screenplay to a competition before and I was hoping someone could point me to some information about giving your...

Yeah, I believe I understood your first posting. Trouble is, there are no .mts that show up when I open the SD card and hunt around inside it. Really weird, but I attached two screengrabs which show what I mean. I know the .mts files are there somewhere, because FCP X is working fine with all...

Just got 5DtoRGB lite on my mac (running mountain lion). I shot a little on my GH2 and inserted my SD card in the computer but 5DtoRGB can't seem to find anything on it to convert. It does convert files from the "orignal media" folders created by FCP X, but it would be nice not to use FCP X to...

I'm really excited about this product, but I'm surprised it wasn't at NAB. What's the deal?

When I apply Indiescan using overlay in FCP 7, the contrast is dramatically affected--even with opacity set to 20% The image above is with the free 35mm from indiescan The image above is without the grain. Is this loss of contrast normal? Am I doing something wrong? The lowered contrast is...

I've got a USB Dual Pre pre-amp which I recently adjusted so I can mount it on my rig. I can plug my xlr shotgun into it--adjust gain--then run a cable from the headphone monitor jack (I can also control the levels here) and into the GH2 for recording. I know the little pre-amp is outputing a...

Going to get a Zoom H1 to use with my GH2 and Sennheiser ME66 (with power module) but I'm unsure what adapter cable to get to go from the XLR shotgun to the H1. Will there be an impedance issue or a problem because the mic is balanced and the recorder input isn't? Thanks for the help.

I am not a tester but I thought I'd report an issue I had with the 176 GOP1 Hack. Works great (no spanning of course) but when I was taking stills and then decided to press the red movie button to grab some video I got an error message telling me the write speed of the card wasn't high enough (I...

Can someone explain to me what AQ is (auto quantizer I'm guessing, but I don't know what that means) and what the differences are between AQ 1 and AQ 3?

Lightly used, top-of-the-line lightweight mattebox. Great for DSLR or cameras like the HMC-150, HPX, etcetera. I've been the sole owner. It's been out on a feature and two short films. Mattebox - 16:9/4:3 (1.5 lbs or 47.6 kg) 16:9 insert mask (450-MA) removable folding French Flag (or...

I liked the Olympus 14-54mm II, but I was frustrated with all the clicks the lens makes when focusing and zooming (I often have to mount a mic on the camera). I got the Panasonic/Leica 14-50mm with OIS and it doesn't click when focusing but the OIS makes a fair amount of noise. It sounds like an...

Did a real quick and dirty test of the Rode VMP with a 11 dB attenuator cable. Basically, the +20 dB setting on the VMP pro was too hot so I thought (and I'm sure I'm not the first) to attenuate the +20 dB with a -11dB attentuator cable, rather than just go with 0 dB on the mic. This is just a...
