Just bought a MixPre3 and used it on a typical project and I'm getting all sorts of weird little audio anomalies. Little pops, cracks, noise ramping up and ending in a pop, etc. I'm using an Oktava MK-012-01 boomed out of frame above into the MixPre3 via XLR. Here's a few examples of the...

I've lost many hours of editing to Adobe Premiere's constant crashing. It's a very poor piece of software and is becoming increasingly frustrating to use. I'm curious if anyone with a similar experience with Adobe Premiere switched over to Resolve and had a much more pleasant experience.

I'm about to go for the kit suggested by Caleb Pike in his "Best $500 Video Lighting Kit and What You Can Do With It" article: http://dslrvideoshooter.com/best-500-video-lighting-kit-can/ I just want to make sure that I'm not making a gross mistakes by going for these few lights. My current...

Looking for this combo for my GH4. Want a metabones adapter that will adapt canon lenses to m43. Fine with either Ultra or XL.

At the risk of chastisement, I was wondering if there were any mid range (~$500) tripods that employ the hand crank for lowering the raising the camera? They seem to only be on tripods in this price range: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/842090-REG/magnus_vt_300_video_tripod_w_2_way.html...

Sorry for the poor paint diagram. Scenario is I'm sitting at a 30" wide desk. I'd like to rig a camera to come up over what I'm holding in my hands and be above my head so it's not blocking my vision. The camera in question is a GH4. I've done some looking around and I think the best piece of...

I recorded a long take with my GH4 and clapped at the beginning of the take to sync my audio w/my video in post. What I'm discovering is that even if I line up the clap as I can (enabling infinite zoom on the timeline) by the end of the take the audio is still really out of wack. Before anyone...

I recently bought some Alzo CFL bulbs to test. I want to figure out how much of a hue is being introduced so that I know how to properly gel it/set my camera to get the correct colors. I set my white balance to 5500K, what Alzo claims their bulbs are, and took a picture of a white/black/grey...

So far I've run into 3 main problems: 1. I can't use OpenCL hardware acceleration with my Radeon GPU and I could before. The option is greyed out and I can't change it. This is kind of a huge deal because it makes editing on Premier with a radeon GPU even worse (lol). 2. I can't export audio...

So I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a china ball set up for my hobbyist basement lighting set up and this is in my shopping cart: 1. 30" China Ball Lantern: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BAV1ZQQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3GD7WNZ4DOZWO 2. Hilariously Large 200W...

I'm always looking for ways to save time in post production. Using my Tascam DR-40 as preamps to my camera's recorder (Panasonic GH4) would be ideal to avoid having to sync audio in post. Are there any downsides to interfacing with the 3.5mm aux input on the GH4 that I'm not considering? I don't...

I tend to film a lot of really tiny things (28mm models) and I've been wanting to add some motion to my shots to increase the production value of my videos. I've decided to really invest in a good slider and want to make sure that I've found the right one for my needs. I've decided on the...

First of all, some definition: by my standards, any light fixture that is $500 or more a piece is "expensive" relative to what I know. Say you have someone who is making youtube videos in their basement. They need to cost effectively light their subject and also a little set around them (maybe...

I run a small youtube channel dedicated to tutorials regarding painting miniatures (total geek). However, I do appreciate great image quality and cinematography which is lacking in this types of videos across youtube. I am fixing to purchase a GH4 for my video needs (upgrading from my t2i). I...

I have a love for local businesses, and here in Minneapolis and the surrounding area there are absolutely tons. I love the idea of giving more exposure to these companies by filming and editing a promo for their company to be used for online release on their websites, facebook accounts, etc. I...

Massdrop has a great deal going on a pair of Fostex active speakers (and an active amp too!). Linky: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/fostex-pm0-3-active-speaker-system I'm looking to replace my 9-year old target refurbished edifier 2.1 set I got when I was a freshman in high school. I'd like to...

So I recently read Ryan's "Why We Need Cinema Lenses" and it was phenomenal. For my purposes, I am unable to spend the thousands of dollars on cinema lenses like most of us (at least not yet ;)). So, there are some obvious ways to make still glass more like cine glass by way of duclos...

Hey guys, Sorry if this is the wrong subforum, but out of the two audio-related subforums this seems like the right one! If I'm shooting a short video in a room with a computer, in real life one often hears a whirring fan noise (especially if the PC is working hard). So, when recording dialogue...

************RESOLVED****************** Hey Guys, I picked up the Adobe trial to see if I wanted to switch from Vegas and am having a few issues. One issue I can't seem to get fixed is getting my audio settings/encoding settings correct. I have a video with three audio tracks. The three tracks...

Hey guys, Anyone out there live in the Minneapolis area or nearby in Minnesota? I'd love to team up and make some short films or anything for fun. To give a reference for what I consider young, I'm 22, but I wouldn't mind working with anyone.
