    So my OneDrive is full and unfortunately still capped at 1TB, going to move all stock footage to its own thing. Impractical with 2 OneDrives, though. Is Google Drive good for this? Any other suggestions? Thanks

Also, and videographers here shooting with 1DX mk2 and happy with it? Looking at picking it up (as in being the...

    Buying an old camera to stransfermini-DV tapes...

    Does it need to be HDV if the material is HD, or can an SD miniDV cameras transfer HD? I have a bunch of tapes recorded on Canon HV30 and wondering if I can basically pick up anything, or how to go about things. Thanks

    Getting back into photography. What do customers want these days?

    Apart from a big bulky camera that looks expensive (people seem to like that... it adds to the sensation of "getting your money's worth"), what things to consider if getting back into the game? - 4K video ability (because why not) - HDR... these days it grabs multiple exposures in a single...

    Companies try to get the rights to make a film about Thailand boys cave story...

    According to this article (in Swedish), you can probably translate it. "Hollywood is ready to tell the story and two production companies seek the rights to dramatize the course of events." What? How does that even work? Who would have the "rights" to a real event in the first place? That's...

    GH5 Minimalistic lens setup? 2 lenses for "everything"... working solo.

    One of my biggest issues with m4/3 in the past is that I was carrying around more lenses than I do with full frame cameras. Admittedly I haven't stayed up to date on the latest stuff, are there any amazing new lenses out there? Fast, long range... like a Canon 24-70 for m4/3 would be great. Not...

    Where is the bitrate settings in premiere 2018?

    Well, this is confusing. Can't find bitrate options, or keyframe distance for that matter... what happened? Googled but only found an article "what has changed", it didn't address the fact that the meters are gone. What am I missing?

    Help me understand xmf files...

    It's some kind of container format that is common, from my understanding. Tried exporting some material with it and file size seems decent, couldn't figure out any bitrate. Files aren't anywhere near uncompressed AVI though so I assume it's compressed? Is it a good format to store finished work...

    Help me understand greenscreen...

    Hi, While I've done simple greenscreen stuff before, one thing that keeps puzzling me is how they replace footage in "live" plates. For example, in Soul Surfer the actress had a green arm that they removed in post, and I assume they did something similar in Black Panther, screencap from the...

    Dodgy question... but need to ask. What is more explicit to an actress?

    So I'm working on something, and trying to wrap my head around what would be more explicit to an actress; full-on nudity, or a simulated blowjob with a prosthetic? I guess this would be highly personal, but what do you think? I'm leaning towards the BJ being more "exposing", at least in my...

    Still no 1080/60? Is Canon joking?

    I mean holy s*%t. It's 2015 and none of the new cameras have 60p? What are the japanese smoking? Or rather, how stupid and greedy can you possibly get? I'm sure it's all about "protecting their product lines"... yeah, good luck with that. Was going to pick up a Canon again to get more serious...

    Saving dry leaves -- am I stupid?

    I would love to have a bag of dry leaves at home... :violin: No but really. For studio shoots, commercials etc. I see two problems with this: 1. Dry, crisp leaves will probably (?) break apart. 2. Small animals and stuff. Saving this sack of leaves for a year in my apartment, it might turn...

    Question about srgb/adobe rgb

    One thing that I've never got a clear answer to... even though my workflow is AdobeRGB, should I deliver to the client as sRGB?? As for video aswell as stills... Simply speaking, I've never got the part whether or not Adobe is *strictly* workflow or should be used upon delivery aswell... I'm...

    Starting over a script...

    I'm stuck when I'm not... Going back an forth through my +120 page screenplay I find myself f*cking up... I improve something, well something else suffers, a detail, some character, or whatever. Now I just scrapped a bad scene but have no idea where and when to introduce the character in it...

    Sound volume in movie trailers?

    Sound in movie trailers. Do they use some kind of "dynamic" effect? Especially dialouge seems to pop in an uneven way... it usually gives the "more epic" feeling overall to the sound. Just curious about this process.

    It goes like this: http://translate.google.com/#en/de/Number one rule - always give the antagonist his deserved cinema exposure. Is there a similar word to "screen time" in German? Because that's what I'm looking for really. the desired outcome in english would be: "Rule number one - always...

    Female leads in major motion picture -- what's your thoughts?

    Is it a proven fact that movies with female leads always makes less money? I've been working on a fantasy trilogy for a few years now and a few days ago, it just occured to me that the screenplays has a lot of strong female characters in it. Suddenly, I'm considering re-writing the Protagonist...
