    FS5: Auto ND Filter in FW 2.0

    Hi All - Just did an impromptu little test with the Auto ND filter setting. The exposure and color aren't really spot on since I was just playing around and was like "Maybe I'll record a clip and throw it online.". So pay no attention to that but merely the Auto ND setting...

    FS5: Polarizer Confusion

    Hi - I'm looking to get a polarizer to use in my 4x4 matte box. I've attempted to research the difference between the circular and linear and I just end up down a rabbit hole of scientific explanations and talk about prism cameras or dslrs. I hope I'm not being to forward but I just want...

    FS5: Bugs (NOT IMAGE QUALITY BUGS)

    I thought it would be a decent idea to start a thread regarding FS5 SW bugs. I had a couple yesterday and I curious if anyone else has had similar experience or anything else. WE ALL KNOW ABOUT THE EDGE TEARING AND IN SOME CASE (I think?) FRINGING & BANDING. THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR THAT. ONLY...

    Air travel w/ MacPro(tube)

    I have a trip coming up and I'm thinking of packing my nMP in a pelican to check in at the airport. I would obviously be padding generously. Would there be any concern with doing that or is it pretty safe? I'm probably over thinking it but figured I would ask the question. Thanks for any info!

    FS5: Max lens weight before needing support.

    This is what I have for a setup. It's actually a Wooden Camera DLSR quick release plate. I'm thinking I'm going to need to try to lower the plate a bit to get closer to the rods. Hopefully they make shorter risers. Do you think it makes any difference if the support is under the tripod color or...

    FS5: Max lens weight before needing support.

    HI!! Wondering people's thoughts on how heavy to go with a lens before needing to add a rail/support setup. The lens in question for me is the 70-200 2.8 non-IS with a Speedbooster. It doesn't seem to sag or anything but I'm just not sure how it compares to when it's mounted on the 5Diii. Am I...

    FS5: Any luck connecting to iOS w/FS5?

    Anyone able to connect their iPhone to the FS5 using the "Connect to Smartphone" feature? I can connect to the camera in the iOS wifi settings but when I open the "Content Browser Mobile" app it says it can't find any device. Tried new password, no dice. Anyone else? Thx

    FS5: or FS7 - Using battery with D-Tap for Monitor

    Hi All - Going to be getting my FS5 after the new year. (The answer(s) I'm looking for could come from a FS7 user as well. Since it's likely a very similar situation.) I'm looking at possible battery options and came across a photo on IG where the person was powering their camera with a swit...

    External Monitoring...

    I have searched and searched and have not found anything recent, anywhere. WTH? Looking for advice on external monitoring options for nMP (New Mac Pro). Current setup: nMP, two Dell monitors hooked up via TB ("Mini Diplayport") to DVI passive converters. From what I understand I cannot just...

    Text ripple upwards by character...

    I've been given the task of re-doing the animation of this companies logo. The original was done in Flash by someone else and I'm re-doing it in AE. Basically he wanted the movement to be smoother with some different timing and I've eased some of the abrupt keyframes. I've got the castle...

    Using another Mac Pro...

    Running into an issue with number of PCI slots in my Mac Pro. I have an older Mac Pro sitting beside it that doesn't get much use. So I'm wondering if I can utilize it in some way. My down and dirty question is: Can I hook up the the older Mac Pro in some way and utilize the pci slots? Which...

    Export poster frame from compressor...

    So I'm compressing videos for our website. I compress, upload to server, then grab the cdn link and drop it into our website control panel for adding video. I also get the option to set a preview picture for that specific video. If I just leave that blank the preview is just blank. The video...

    EX Clip Browser Issue...

    So I've been using EX CB 2.6 to archive our SXS to XDCam Disk. Been working flawlessly. Now all of the sudden I put a new series of SXS cards in with footage and CB doesn't see them. It sees the card, recognizes that there is data on it by displaying the used and free space. But the clips dont...

    I have a card that was being recorded to and the battery died. Powered the camera back up and it asked to retore media on card. I select "Execute", it tries and then says media cannot be restored. I tried to copy the files onto my mac for a backup but it won't even let me do that. I tried...

    Rode NT1-A into SOny EX3

    First post in the audio section, so hello all. Let me preface this by saying that we are just a small gig and although we take audio seriously we don't necessarily have the resources to go extreme with it. We're looking to get a little better sound out of our VO that we do. Right now we use a...

    How do I legitimately purchase 4 seats of FCPX at my work? 4 different iTunes accounts? Not everyone has a iTunes account and I don't want them to use their personal account anyway.

    Odd question to just see an overall responce... F3 build

    Just looking through some photos of the Alexa. I think aside from the viewfinder on the Alexa, the bodies are pretty similar it seems. If a person could just put a shoulder pad right under the body of the F3, it would be pretty close. Somebody needs to make a shoulder pad with a 1/4x20 on it and...

    Upgrade before FCPX...

    "Your computer's video card does not meet the minimum system requirements" DOH!!!! So it looks like I'm needing to upgrade my video card before the FCPX purchase. I'm not experienced at all with video cards. Just got what came with the machine and called it good. I've been trying to look...
