I'm having some ongoing issues, and I would like to find a cause for this. When I output something to DVD, using encore to author it, I get these weird horizontal lines when the camera is moved or when there is a lot of motion. If I had to wager a guess as to what it is, I think its because of...

Currently I have a sanken cs1 on my dvx, and a senn me66 with the k6 adaptor and a shure adaptor for my canon GL2. We bought an HVX and I want to get a good microphone comperable to the sanken cs1 if not better. What is a good choice? I've been hearing alot about the octavas, and I'm reading the...

Looking to show some video at a wedding expo on a hd lcd tv, which has both hdmi and component inputs. What is the best way to do this? I will have both hd footage from our hvx as well as sd footage from our dvx. Let's say I only have sd footage, which is all I have available to me for this...

I would like to create a heartbeat monitor effect for a intro movie I'm making for someone's website. Googling it, I came across a book that had it as an example but I don't have that book. Any ideas how it would be done? It seems pretty simple...

Looking to upgrade to a pro tripod. Currently our only video tripod is a Manfrotto 745B with a 701 RC2 head on it. It works great for our DVX, but I wanted to go up to something with 2 stage legs, and a stable base. Also a little bit better of a head. It needs to support a HVX with M2, nikon...

I'm just now realizing the importance of the backup workflow as well. How do you guys back up your projects? Do you back up all the clips, project files, rendered AVI, encore dvd files, and final image? For me, each project then takes up about 50-100 gig of space. I have two 400gig and one...

Ok, I've read through the threads here. Read the various lighting tutorials, etc. I believe I have the general concept of proper lighting, but I can't seem to piece together a good lighting set and everything else I would need. I know I need a key light, a soft fill, and a backlight. I would...

sweet! Thanks :)

We're shooting a music video for a local band in november and december, and I wanted to ask some suggestions. We will have both a DVX and a XL2 to shoot with. As far as frame rate, I was thinking that 30p would give a good look for their video, which will include shots of the band playing, as...

hello, I'm looking for some suggestions on these two lighting kits. This is our first major lighting purchase, so I want to get enough for all the kind of shoots we will be doing, including chromakey work...

Hello, I have to produce a section for a tv pilot at an automotive shop over labor day weekend, and I wanted to make sure I had an adequate set up. I'll be filming with our DVX100A, which has a sanken CS1 on it. I also have a canon GL2 that I have a audiotechnica AT897 on it, so I'm thinking I...

Hey all, Wasn't sure where to put this so, I stuck it here... We currently shoot wedding video with one DVX100A, and we're going to get another camera, and I can't really decide between another DVX or an XL2. I prefer to get the XL2 because of the native 16:9 which would be nice for some of...

How would I attach a light, such as a cheapie bescor or a litepanels, but also attach our shotgun mic? Both use the shoe. Are there dual shoe adaptors? I couldn't find anything on B&H. Thanks!

When I'm capturing video using premier, the image displayed in the capture window looks like the brightness is turned all the way up. The colors are very weird. I tried viewing it in Windows Movie Maker capture dialog and it looks the same too :( If I capture a few seconds in premier and then...

Hello, Currently I have a sennheiser md46 w/ sk500, and the g2 wireless setup. I'm wondering how many wireless transmitters can one receiver support. IE, can I run another md46 w/ sk500 and be ok? thanks in advance :) -Mike-

hi, i'm new here, but i've been reading for a while :) I will be shooting car shows and my models will be doing interviews of the people that are at the shows. Currently, I have a GL2 and I just got the DVX. I need to get some good on-camera shotguns, and I was looking at the me66 until I...
