Hi. I need to present a client with a DVD. If I use the "Share" option > DVD, the native HD project turns into a terrible SD video with a different aspect ratio. Am I missing something here? If I decide to burn a DVD directly from my Mac, what settings do you recommend? Thanks. (I also posted...

Hi. I recently bought a Panasonic FZ-1000 as a run-and-gun fourth camera :-) I did some tests with various settings, and overall I am happy with it. The disappointment came with the 100 fps (MP4 FHD 25p) slow motion. It seems of very poor quality to me: in low light conditions it is absolutely...

Hi. I sold my C100 to a friend and it was working perfectly when we tested it together. I kept all its batteries for my new C100 Mk2. He bought a few replacement batteries right away and he told me that he has never been able to use it so far. It turns on but will turn off after a couple of...

Hello. I import my .mts AVCHD files to FCPX (and they are perfectly in focus). After applying a few filters and exporting them, they look a little soft and with a lower quality, compared to the originals. Is it because I edit with proxy media? This is what I guess, I just want to be sure. Thanks

Hello. Does anybody know when the 4k firmware update for X70 will be available? Thanks.

Hi. I have been recently experiencing a VERY slow rendering with FCPX. It takes forever. It happens when I apply any corrections (noise reduction, color correction, etc.). Is there something I can do to speed up this process? Maybe by clearing up something I am not aware of? Thanks.

I am going nuts trying to figure out what SD card is the best choice for my X70, considering that the 4K upgrade seems to be around the corner. I'd like to buy them once and use for HD now and 4K later. I asked Sony and read the owner manual, but couldn't get out of this. Can you please tell me...

Thanks Alex H and Indiawilds :)

Hello everybody. I will get my PXW-X70 in a few days. What extra battery would you recommend (I'd go for a replacement battery, not the original, if the price difference is too high)? And what about SD cards? I am pretty sure that the best solution is SDXC Class 10 U1 cards, but what about...

Thanks everybody. I just asked for some help to put together a small personal project, and then I get people telling me that I have to go college for this. People go to college to become surgeons, but this doesn't mean one can't cure a scratch or a headache at home without studying for five...

Thanks everybody. I can guess what "zero crossings" are, but can you please explain me? Are they the points where two tracks connect? Again, please forgive my dumb questions and improper terms, but I am just starting with this audio nightmare! I'd rather avoid sending "the sound off to be done...

Hello everybody. I am putting together a very short documentary with FCPX. The audio (interviews recorded on location and also music) is divided in several clips along the timeline. I know ALMOST NOTHING about audio, so please forgive my ignorance and possible silly questions/terms. What is...

Hi. After editing my clips with FCPX, I normally convert those ProRes to H264 using MPEG Streamclip. What settings do you recommend for the web? I need to combine good quality and small size. My main concern is keeping the file size as small as possible, without seeing color blotches, pixels...

Hi. What is the software for color correction (if it does exist...) that combines good results and user-friendly tools? In other words, I would like to start color correcting my videos and achieve good results, without spending months just to learn how to use it. The easier, the better, staying...

Hi everybody. I just bought a Tascam DR-05. I didn't have a big budget and some reviews I read said pretty nice things about this recorder. Just one question: what settings do you recommend to add the sound in post-production with FCPX (I shoot documentaries with interviews, and also have a...

Hi. Can you please recommend me a software or FCPX plug-in for noise removal? I have basic experience, so it should be easy to use :) Thanks.

Hi. I successfully installed the new firmware on my C100, but I can't understand how to increase the ISO to 80,000. Thank you.

Hi. I need some seriously URGENT help here... I have to shoot a short commercial with interview tomorrow morning. I have a shotgun that works great, but the director wants a lavalier too. The only lavalier I could put my hands on at this time of the day is a Rode Smartlav. I tried to test it...

Hi. I apologize if this issue has been addressed already, but I have been away for some weeks and did not check. Has anybody updated the C100 firmware? Is all running smoothly? I'd like to hear from you before updating mine. Thank you!
