Hey, I desperately need help. Just shot something this morning and did a few clips at 48 frames per second. Now, I've done VFR on the Firestore tons and it's always worked great. However, I haven't really ever done 48 fps, only 60. The problem I'm having is when I play the clip off the...

I'm in a tough spot here. I need a couple things fixed on my HVX200 but I don't know where to go or what to do. My 1 year warranty is long over, but my firewire port is loose or something because I always lose connection from it with my firestore (and I know it's not the firestore. I've...

Hi, I'm doing a bunch of Real Estate video in Florida in the next two weeks and I'm trying to figure out a really good handheld solution for the HVX where I can use my Marshall as well, but I can't fit my huge battery on the back because it makes it too heavy. I need a portable solution...

Hi, I'm getting a new FS-100 in a couple days and I already have an FS-4 for my DVX. We also have the extended 180 min battery. I was wondering if the batteries for the FS-100 and FS-4 are the same and can be interchanged between the two units? It would be nice to not have to buy an extra...

Okay. So there's my recipe. I'm using a DVX100B with a redrock m2 and recording to an FS-4. I'm doing Quicktime in the Firestore and recording regular 24p on the dvx. When I import the footage into fcp and rotate the image, everything is fine. It looks great. But anytime I add an effect...

So, here's my question: Whenever you talk to someone about shooting your feature with either digital cinema or film, they usually tell you "Sure, you could go with HVX or Varicam and most audiences aren't going to tell a difference, but if you really want your film to look like "Film" than just...

Okay, so I wanted to hook up the HVX to this HDTV at my friend's house with the component out and I couldn't get any video on the TV. What am I doing wrong? Is there a setting I need to change in my HVX? Cause the manual just makes it look like all you have to do is hook it up and whalla, but...

Okay, so you guys have convinced me to purchase the Marshall R70P HDA. It looks freaking awesome. Here's my question though. It looks like I'm going to have to buy an IDX V-mount battery with it. Will I be able to recharge the battery from the monitor or do I have to buy that other charger...

So my company just bought a new HVX. We're totally new to the game. Got a few jobs in May and June but right now just getting all of our equipment together. But I'm putting together an expenses list for my accountant and I need to know everything that I should get. I was hoping I could get...

I'm needing to buy a monitor for my HVX and I was wondering what the best solution would be in this market. I would prefer to have it on-camera (so, like, a 7" something or other), and if at all possible have image-flip capabilities for my Micro35. Can you use any TFT, LCD monitor with the HVX...

My camera is currently in my town right now and on a UPS truck "Out for Delivery". I'm so excited right now I think I might have a heart-attack!!

Hey all, this is my first post. I just wanted to share this very small demo reel of some footage I shot for a client's short film. It's called "Ritual". It's a very strange plot but some good potential for interesting visuals. Anyway, we've only shot about 20% of the film at this abandoned...

I've been looking around everywhere about this and can't seem to come up with anything. I've read an article on Apple about this crew that used a tapeless workflow with the Varicam and this guy's powerbook, but it never explains how. It just said they went from the Varicam to the DVCProHD deck...
