    C100: C100 + 11-18 IS STM - experience?

    I'm looking at purchasing the 10-18 IS STM lens to go with the C100. I've had use of the EF-S 10-22 for a while on loan but it has to go back. I've found that I almost never use the 22mm end of things and 18mm would be fine (I'd use the 24-105L for the 24mm end of things). Any experience...

    Dual Color LED - Probably a dumb question!

    I'm in the market for some portable LED panels I can take in to relatively small spaces for filming some interviews. Think very small cafe or really small office. I've been looking at some that offer the ability to change the colour temperature, typically 3200 - 5500(ish). Now, I'm not...

    FCPX & Canon 5D3 Timecode

    So a 5D3 just landed on my desk to start playing with. The first thing I wanted to see was how the timecode worked. Premiere Pro sees the timecode - no problem. FCPX imports the footage but every clip has a timecode of 00:00:00:00 (although the creation time/date is correct). What could I...

    What audio codec is export when exporting H.264 and MPEG2

    Ah, you do need to select AAC+ Version 1 to get 96Khz Jim. Here is H264, 1920x1080 96Khz. No idea why this is posting so small :(

    Best conversion program to batch multiple 7D files into Apple PRoRes 422 LT

    Once you are in log & transfer, click the gear button to the top right of the source clips window (just to the left of the middle bar), choose preferences then select the source codec type then ProRes LT as the destination.... It turns out I don't have the Canon EOS plugin on this computer...

    Headphones for monitoring sound on camera

    I'm in the market to replace all the headphones we use for monitoring sound when filming. All ours have picked up some bumps and bangs and, well... it's time to replace them all. I'm looking for suggestions on relatively good sets. Nothing too cheap, nothing way out there price wise...

    Secondary color correction (areas NOT just colors) in Premiere Pro

    I'm looking to speed up the rendering of color correction allied within Premiere Pro. We've been using colorista II and love it - except it sows down rendering horribly. We could replace most if using the three-way color corrector and curves, but Colorista II has a fairly powerful...

    Current state of Magic Lantern 5D2 ?

    We've got Magic Lantern installed on our 550D and 60D cameras but I've been hesitating to add it to the 5D2 as we use these for fairly critical shoots. What is the current state of the Magic Lantern firmware now? Is it stable? I'm a little put-off by the notice to remove the battery EVERY...

    XA10 vs HF G10 vs DSLR What do you lose?

    Ignore the 'shallow DOF' argument for a moment.... (in fact sometimes shallow DOF is not wanted)........ I'm looking for some b-roll cameras for DSLR video and I'm looking at the HF G10 an XA10. Would anyone like to comment on how well they can be mixed in post ? I'm hoping Canon Camcorder...

    Premiere Pro CS5 - How to make it stable?

    We've been hanging on to FCP7 and suffering the massive transcode times until it's replacement came along - hoping it was going to do the job - and as we all know FCPX is here and it's not going to (multicam scenarios). We've had Premiere Pro (CS5 - 5.0.3) installed for several months but it's...

    Consumer Camcorders (e.g. SD900) with HMC 150

    Lots of people raving about the quality of the video coming from consumer cameras such as the HDC-SD900. It seems to me that being 1/4" sensors must have a major effect on the quality and noise in lower light, yet people still seem to rave. Is it simply that the people doing all the raving...

    Mixed AF100 and DSLR

    Now that quite a few people have got their hands on the AF100 / 102 etc, how many of you have shot it in a mixed environment with DSLR, and how did that footage mix in post? We shoot mostly weddings (and other events), and have migrated much of the shooting to DSLR from HMC151. I'm finding I'm...

    [FS: General] (UK) Canon 24-105L Lens

    I have an almost unused Canon 24-105L IS lens for sale. This came with my 5D mkII kit but I almost always use fast primes so have no use for this lens. £600 + shipping. I can take credit cards through my business if that helps. I'm also looking for a Canon 60D if any one is interested in a...

    Premier Pro Render Selected Clips

    I know that you can set a work area within Premier Pro and render just that area, but is there a way to select a clip, or lasso two or three clips and have it render those clips without having to reset the work area? In FCP I can select a single clip (or lasso several clips) which is one mouse...

    Simple Text Spin by Letter - How?

    I've been struggling with this for hours and can't figure it out. All I want is for all letters of a word (or words on a line) to spin on the Y axis at the same time. I don't want it to sequence or ripple through the letters, they all need to spin at the same time. BTW, I don't want to put...

    Premiere Pro CS5 + BlackMagic Intensity Pro Output (not capture)

    I'm currently converting over from FCP to PPro CS5. A couple of major bumps in the road.... one of which is external monitor output. I'm on a Mac Pro with a BlackMagic Intensity Pro card installed. When using FCP I could output the video directly to an HDMI monitor (1080). Can this be...

    FCP user looking at PremierPro CS5

    I'm evaluating PP CS5 for several reasons. The first one is that I'd like to avoid the transcoding time required for DSLR footage in FCP, though I know I'll still spend some time logging and organising the footage in PP prior to start of editing because it saves time later. However, there...

    60D vs 7D for low light video only

    This must have been discussed a thousand times, but after much searching both here and via Google I am about as confused as ever. Three things first - 1) I'm only going to use them for video - no photos. I have a 5D2 which would be the photo body. 2) I'm not interested in the GH2, I have...

    [FS: General] HMC-151 (UK) Used as Backup / B-Roll camera - £1895

    *** SOLD **** This HMC-151 is about a year old and had been used exclusively at weddings as a backup / B-Roll camera (we have 4 HMC 151s in total). Because we are moving more towards DSLRs for some parts of the day we no longer need all 4 HMC cameras so have decided to sell one of them. It...
