Is there a certain kind of SD card one needs to get (how much space does it need for instance or what brand) or will any one do for saving scene files and such?

While I've been using a DVX100A for years, I've never actually owned one, always checking it out and letting others do most of the matenence. Now that I own an HVX200, I'm curious how needs to be maintained and cleaned. The P2 cards thankfully means I won't have to worry about head cleaners...

Rained yesterday and wanted to see what can be done with diffused lighting. Shot on: Cinelike D Master Pedistal -7 Detail: +5 V Detail: +5 Detail Coring: +7 Chroma Level: -2 Also did a very slight bit of CC in Avid (the slightly aqua tint). These are just stills so far as even my brief...

Two questions: 1.Why can't I mess with the V-Frequency Detail in 720 mode? 2.What does detail coring do? I know it's supposed to reduce the noise in the image but how does it do this? What is the drawback of overusing it (since uping any setting always has some drawback).

I recently aquired an HVX200 for my personal use after graduating from the University of New Orleans film school. I've been using the DVX100 for the last few years. I took to honors at the UNO film festival this semester with a film shot on the DVX100A and have also used the camera on several...

I was trying to output some HVX200 files from Avid Xpress Pro HD 5.23 and found that when compressing in H264, the image ended up being brighter than it origionally was. What was really irritating about this is that it seemed to make the noise in the shadows suddenly pop out to an unacceptible...

Currently I have the following: AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 1 gig of RAM GeForce 6600GT 256 mg I've been able to upload MXF files from the HVX200 into Avid and play them without any trouble, meaning I could edit HD footage fine. However, when trying to play extracted Raylight AVI files from MXF's, my...

It's been working fine for months then suddenly it has has decided to freeze as it loads. It gets through all the stuff and finally I see "loading setup" at the bottom of the screen and then it just stops doing anything and I have to restart. This is pretty disconcerting as I have a film on...

Went down to the cemetary to get some shots. I was useing cinelike D with master pedistal at -7, chroma level at +1, and the color temp at a -3 to give it a slighly more sepia look. These were all handheld shots. http://s62.photobucket.com/albums/h106/malachiX2000/Cemetary%20Stills/...

I've tried using the CD that comes with the HVX200 but have an odd error. When I try to install the P2 drivers, I'm presented with a list of check boxes and asked to choose which P2 drivers I want to install. I select the box that says "AG-HVX200" and push install. I then get a pop up message...

Hope I'm not the only one (though it might help getting shoots...)

And why can't I select the visual frequency depth always on thick when shooting in HD? I thought I recalled an article recently when a director DP shooting a Subway commercial said he adjusted the knee. Was he just not using cinemagamma? If so, what were his settings?

I finally got my HVX200 in an yesterday got the chance to play with it a little. One thing I noticed that was a bit disconcerting was that, in 720pN mode the white horizontal lines on the top and bottom (I assume are there as TV safe lines) vibrate. The vertical lines on the left and right...

I made a similar topic a while back and really wasn't able to decide (the Cartoni Focus looks perfect but it's 1200 minimum). So, instead of asking for suggestions this time, I'm simply curious as to what you guys have been using and how you like it.

One thing that I keep hearing as a criticism of video is the deep depth of field. I'm curious how come I seem to be the only person I know who actually likes that. Isn't anyone else a fan of deep focus? Doesn't anyone else think it's actually pretty amazing and more powerful to be able to...

I'm curious to see some of the best HD100 stuff around. I keep hearing a lot about what a great image it produces but most of the stuff I've seen has been from comparison shoots that end up producing pretty boring results from all cameras. I'm curious what some of the most gorgeous footage...

I was really looking at the Merlin but it says it's only rated up to 5 pounds. I heard some reports that with a little extra counterwiegth one could get it to work. Can one order any extra counterweights for the Merlin? Is there another solution for someone with an HVX200 who only wants to spend...
