I'm looking to do my own music for my projects and love the Prophet V and Kurzweil synth sounds/patches. I'm curious on if there are any applications for the iMac to set up my mini-desktop keyboard or if there's some sort of unit to play out which has a lot of those 70s and 80s sounds? I'm open...

Any help on this is appreciated. I've edited and put together a three minute edit of maybe 30 clips or so from 2 SD cards for my feature. I have started editing on my laptop and want to transfer the edits, clips and event (and especially the color grading that I did in FCP X) to my iMac. My...

Short segment from my feature, updated for you all to see. I'd like your feedback on this. It's been updated heavily since it was last seen. The dialogue will be in place of the text. Be sure to watch full screen in 1080! https://vimeo.com/61931448 password: thexfiles

This is a short segment from a feature I am doing...I don't like to post my work in the public but I am excited for how it's coming along and from one filmmaker to another, I'm looking for some feedback on it. Since posting it I've taken out one shot (the first bathroom shot and have changed...

Trying to figure this out and maybe you guys can help: If I'm import let's say thirty 32 gig SD cards over a 1 year period of shooting, that's 960 gig's worth of media, MTS (AVCHD files) not to mention Final Cut Pro X events and Final Cut Pro X filters which also add to the events being...

Hello all, Been shooting my feature and here's what the "dilemma" is. I've been editing the first segment with the folder of all 32 gig's (SD Card) in a folder with all of the needed information and MTS files. I've labeled my event in FCP X and am on my way to finishing up my first segment...

So, I did a lot of uploads for certain clips a while ago doing test shoots and they are on my side bar for where my clips are in FCP X. If I delete them from the side bin, are they (the file and space they take up) out of the FCP program for good? I ask because I want them to be. I'm not sure if...

Can anyone recommend any jibs for $400 that goes well with our cameras? I'm hoping to buy a smooth jib and I see many ranging from 149 two at thousand dollars. Any links and samples?

I'm editing a short film segment that will be in my feature..editing on my Laptop which isn't great for editing a feature. The short will be two minutes. My footage is in a folder on my desktop, all 32 gigs from the 32 gig card. I had shot new footage onto the card (twelve new clips) and was...

Has any FS700 used R/C mini copters to do this? I've seen some clips of people flying their FS100's, etc under the copter and I'd be interested in seeing what the cost is. Sound is not an issue since the scenes I'd like to shoot don't require dialogue...

What are the most reliable External HD's that you guys find most reliable? I want to put backups of my footage onto? In the past, I had put all my MOV files on the WD hard-drive's (the thin black ones) for when I needed a backup for my Canon EOS 1D Mark IV footage. No problems ever with them...

Hey all, so my question is: The SD card that records all of the files, I know that all of the content from the card needs to be transferred (folders, sub-folders, etc). With that said... I have a question on the following: Let's say I record 100 clips, and I like 10 of them. Can I delete the...

https://vimeo.com/60414644 Here is a video I just did today, took the exposure of black in FCP X all the way down in the box and added film noise. First shot is meant to be out of focus. This is a test shoot see how close I can get it to a really dark B&W 16mm film type of visual. Shot in 240...

https://vimeo.com/60335483 Thoughts? I shot it on purpose a little bright and brought down the exposure and did some slight color grading to create the clouds to re-appear in the second shot in the sky. I think it looks good but am curious on everyone else's thoughts. I wanted to see if there...

First Question: Will FCP X convert the 30fps to 24fps if FCP X is editing as a FCP timeline? Also, has anyone tried to slow down the visual slightly in FCP X and do they have any samples of it? I'm doing shots of a person walking up the street and shooting in 120 or 240 fps will alias some...

Does anyone know? I'm looking for better options to shoot slow motion rather than choosing Super Slow Motion 120 and 240 fps. I looked at a chart online and when you shoot over 60fps, the image quality degrades to where it aliases, etc. Someone had suggested, shooting 60fps and using a slow...

I come from the DSLR world and hate noise, as I am sure a lot of you do as well..my question is, with the FS700, I've decided to shoot on non-PP mode. So I am using in image "out of the box" and I'm not doing PP because I have deadlines, etc and a feature to shoot and would rather go the safer...

I'm curious on everyones thoughts on this. My journey of making and starting my feature soon, next week to be exact, is making me understand that maybe Picture Profiles are not for me. I'm also told by reliable sources that you can do more harm than good by doing PP settings, especially if...

"A lot of people make the mistake of thinking low ISO means low noise. Low ISO means the noise starts showing up further into the shadows, but if your image is darker because you are using a too low an ISO, it will still have more noise. In most cases with cameras with hardware gain like the...

I'm doing a feature next week and I'm thinking of using the stock image of the camera and not using any PP's because I don't do much color grading and I'm getting frustrated with having not much knowledge of the PP's to where I don't want to mess up my image. So my question is does anyone else...
