Aloha Folks, I'm embarking on a spontaneous road trip next week through Nevada desert and will be filming the driver. I was hoping to get some feedback on the use of ND gel to keep the background in acceptable exposure. I don't have any gels to test with yet and would like any hints on what...

Howdy, Just putting it out there- Have a 700gig project to edit in 4k. I haven't got my External Drive yet. So since Im working with files directly on the drive would optimized media be the best setting? Am I foolish for doing a 45 min project on my system drive? It a bran new iMac 2tb...

Hello, Just christened my new dvx200 with a couple wedding shoots or should I say the camera christened me. What a work out. I feel slightly out of my league. Although some of the footage looks fantastic and Im stoked to shoot some more and call this camera mine. Along with the camera a new...

Hello, Just made the decision to shoot my first wedding with the dvx200 in UHD for a presumed output in 1080p. Thus far I have produced DVDs shooting with my old dvx100- so it's a big step for me, with focus and exposure now that much more critical along with handheld movement. But I'm going...

Hello and thanks for previous post/hints. Im continuing my crash course learning the dvx200 finally got my computer up so Im prepping for storage. I'd like to download my sd cards thru the USB 3.0 port on the camera to an external back up drive. I went to the Panasonic site listed in the...

Purchased a new DVX200 this month which shows to have 1.81 firmware however cant find the New Focus Menu options. I seemed to have dug into the menu but cant seem to find it.

Hello folks, I just purchased the dvx200 and am without a computer for a bit. Could someone please tell me if version 1.81 is the most current version? Or do I need an update? Thanks!

Hello again, Ok. I have my footage shot with 24pa camera setting. But I've already captured and placed/edited them in a standard ntsc 29.97 timeline. Do I recapture the footage with the 24pa advanced pulldown setting and re-do the edit? or is there a way to use my sequence I have and achieve...

Aloha techies, shooters, poets, gurus, I'm building a video in FCP which I inadvertently chose to shoot in 24pa after noticing my scene selector switch moved to 24pa early on during the shoot. Thats fine- learning experiment. My question is this. My client wanted to have a quick edit session...

Hi, I'm sending off a small project- 370 MB. Though when I test it in an average player its not recognized. Whats a safe sure way to deal with this? I thought of creating other elements on the disc that would be hidden but I dont want to create a snare for the client who will be using the...

Howdy folks, Im cutting my teeth on my first HD project job. Its gone fine with a few glitches here and there, but I am anticipating that my clients HD video is not going to be very versatile for what he needs. I believe hes going to want a SD DVD of this project as well. It was shot on the...

Here I go again, So I figured some problems and have a solid HD segment for a client. I used his footage from his XH A1. I captured the footage to my computer without any changes to settings. I've finished the project but have a feeling my client wants to POWER POINT the video via his PC...

Howdy, Well I suppose when a client shoots his own footage XH A1 I should thank him for saving life on my DVX100 but the learning curve is getting to me. I captured the footage with FCP using the HDV 1080i preset and everything went fine. Getting to the timeline (preset for HDV 1080i) I soon...

Greetings Users, In short= I dont understand why 2 channels are need for 1 source. A question about audio with the DVX100A- Why would you want to assign both channels to one audio source? i.e. setting both channels for a lavalier or shotgun as opposed to assigning just one channel. Do the...

I'm getting ready to author- well make that is my short on dvd with dvd studio pro and wonder if Blue Disc would work. My project rendered at 8 bit uncompressed is just under 8 gigs. 7.85 er close to it. Why shouldnt/cant I burn to a blue disc? Well yes I'm not talking HD but regular 48kz...

Howdy, Much obliged for ya checking my situation. I had what I thought was a project ready to print to video- dv. But it took my project and sqeezed it just a little. I aborted, took a look at my settings and more or less reset the sequence settings. Then my timeline went red- you know- as...

Hello and Good evenin, Quick question- Does a Final Cut Pro 3 academic version qualify for the crossgrade program? I just squeezed out of my soul over a grand to buy myself FCP5 and found out my litl sis' has FCP3. Its an academic version and she doesnt need it. Anyone care to...

Good eve'nin, Ok, remedial stuff Im sure. Im just getting into my learnin curve with FCPstudio. On the capture settings box I have some options. The footage that Ill be importn was shot on a dvx100a set to 24P. So do I just go with the NTSC 48kh setting? I see there is a setting for...

Howdy, Im looking to buy a version of FCP 5.1 to work with my macbp and possibly a G4 867 dual proc. and am wondering if I'd be handicapping myself If I didnt buy the printed manuals. I've always worked on Premiere 6.5 but am not sure how intuitive FCP is. What do ya think? Are the pdf...

Hello everyone, Ive got a mixed batch of tape from a trip where I shot both Panasonics DVM63MQ tapes and some regular grade Panasonic DVM60 tapes (black enclosure with dark blue tape guard). Would I be fine capturing both types of tape with my camera without worry of having to clean the heads...
