After working with 6.5 for what seems like forever, I made the jump to CS3. It's a little overwhelming, but very cool. I'm trying to get into the new workspace options....what do you all use or recommend? Standard? All Panels? Right now, I just created a workspace like I would use in the...

....we just got an HVX at work. Oh boy, I think I'm going to have questions. I'll do a search first, I promise! This camera looks overwhelming, fortunately I've had a few years of experience with the DVX. Right now we're in the "open box, styrofoam, plastic bag & manuals on floor" stage...

Hello, I'm trying to get a decent head cleaning performed on my DVX100a. Can anyone recommend anyone in the lower Fairfield County or Westchester areas that could help me? (or thereabouts) I may try and do the job myself, but tracking down the necessary supplies per Barry's sticky has not gone...

If I have a couple DVDs of automotive running footage, what is the best way to get the footage into FCP 5? I have to get these DVDs back to the agency tomorrow. I'm used to receiving footage on Beta SP, which I would transfer to mini DV and then firewire into my system. Should I just run a...

My friends and I shot a movie on Saturday, what a rush. Used my trusty DVX100a and I was so happy with the results. It will just be a horror short, we may do a few more in the future and put them together in a "Creepshow" fashion. Wait, let me back up. I should explain that during "working...

Can't seem to find the answer, apologies if it's a no brainer.... Will the G1 & A1 be able to shoot & record in standard definition as well as HD? I'm really thinking about buying an A1, but still have a lot of existing clients with SD projects. Thanks, Scott

How do you deal with the poor focal length of a stock DVX100? ("a" in my case) With previous cameras, I would normally have a production assistant hold up a white sheet of paper and I'll balance off that. With the DVX it's like, "Walk in a little closer to the camera. A little closer, a...

I've seen people posting about their hour meters resetting to zero, but my issue is the exact opposite. I've got a DVX100a that isn't even a year old, but has 130 hours on the meter. I don't really use it all that much. (I realize 130 hrs could be average for a different shooter) I don't use...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rD0UjIwG0H0 Unfortunately it's on that dreadful YouTube, but hope to have it on a better site very soon. Shot with DVX100a Edited with FCP 4.5, magic bullet "Neo" effect added Some After Effects used for GFX & such. Well, we didn't place in the festival (2,200...

A good (inexpensive) mini DV cam that I could use for batch capture and printing to tape that would work well with footage shot on a DVX going into FCP 4.5? In other words I don't want to put any unnessecery stress and hours on my DVX.

After working on a sequence that's about 30 minutes long, I went to print it to tape: I'm getting video hits (white horizontal lines), and lack of audio. My media is stored on a Western Digital external hard drive, 120GB. Now one thing I noticed since the drive is transparent it has an...
