For some strange reason, when I capture footage shot in the Canon XH A1 in 24F into Premiere CS3, it recognizes it as having 44.96fps. The same thing happens if I import a file captured via HDLink, HDV-Split or Vegas - premiere thinks the footage has a 44.96 frame rate. I tried importing the...

I want to be able to turn the Iris ring so that I can go from the 9.5 stop to a "close" iris (when turning the iris handle left), without experiencing the pause between these stops. Meaning, I want to be able to create a kind of smooth "Fade to Black" using the iris dial, but I keep getting the...

I recently had to transfer my HDV project into a BetaSP format for broadcast, and tried to see what was the best way to do so, avoiding as much lost in the quality as possible, and thought I'd share the results: Option 1 was to simply export the project to tape into the A1 as HDV, and then...

Here is a link to a music video I had just finished shooting in Israel, along with the Canon XH-A1: http://youtube.com/watch?v=heBd5lhoy8k

This might help :) I'm not sure how long this offer would last though...

Is the A1's lens hood supposed to fit perfectly and tightly into the lens? There seems to be a thin gap when I placed it on (can be seen above the AF sensor), but it looks like that's as far back as it'll go...

Hello everyone, I'm trying to achieve the same affect for slower motion, that can be achieved in film by shooting 36fps and then slowing it down to 24fps, a technique often used for music videos. I want to shoot the song at a faster speed, and then slow it down in post for the actual speed...

I'm thinking of getting this camera and was concerned regarding the 24F, and how different would the process to Betacam/DigiBeta be. I know that with DV, I would output the movie to miniDV and have that transfered to BetaSP/DigiBeta via third-party lab. But since the 24F HDV file won't play in...

Hi guys, I'm looking for a telecine service for my 16mm footage in California/LA area. I have about 2 minutes of footage, no audio, and I dont want to go to one of the big houses who offer this at a rate of $200+ an hour. Does anyone know of a decent, reliable house who offer this kind of...

I'm a little confused about the workflow of AE... I've shot 24p footage, but when imported into AE 6.5, AE recognizes them as 29.97 with Lower fields. I know from reading here in the forum that I can have AE Guess the pulldown, but doing that won't change the properties of the clip back to...

I'm interested in obtaining a dvx camera. As I'll be outputting my metirals to both PAL and NTSC formats, I wanted to know which model should I get? Basically, which format is easier/achieves best results when converting - NTSC to PAL, or PAL to NTSC? Thanks in advance, Tom.
