Hey! So I have a Birdycam II gimbal flying a BMPCC with (for right now) a Rokinon 24mm T1.5 EF lens with a speedbooster. I'm pretty new to gimbals in general, so while shots I get with the gimbal tend to be pretty smooth, there's still a decent amount of shakiness on the vertical axis...
I'm attempting to compile a DVD of my home videos (HDV m2t format) with DVD Architect Studio 4.5 (my version of Vegas 8 Pro didn't come with DVD Architect, for some reason), and it keeps giving me an error message and crashing. What's strange is that this error message comes up at seemingly...
I'm in charge of finding an NLE for my high school, and I'm not sure what to get. I should be able to get anything $500 or less, and we have Windows computers. I use Vegas Pro 8 at home, and I love it, but I'm not sure if it's the best software to teach other kids how to edit. I guess what...
I've had an HV20 for the past year and a half, and I've never really had a technical issue with it until now. After the camera somehow fell off a table while plugged into my computer via firewire (I had stepped out of the room), the camcorder no longer connects through the firewire port...
First, a little background:
I'm the official editior for my high school's "video club", and they are doing a short piece about a play the drama club is putting on. After shooting, they handed me the Sony HDD cam that they shot it on. Now, I've edited stuff from this cam before, but not with...
I'm pretty sure that's what I'm getting, after meticulously scanning the video. All I did was drag an HV20 24p clip with pulldown onto a 23.97p timeline, and just like that, there were no repeated frames or anything. I even compared side-by-side with a clone of the clip that had been...
I know this is a noobish question, but I'd like to edit native 24p from the HV20 in Vegas. I read about this convoluted processes one could use, employing Vegas and VirtualDub, to get this native 24p. My question is whether the cadence remains constant throught the tape, or if it restarts each...
I'm looking to break into the VFX side of 3D animation, yet I'm not sure what directions to go in terms of software. I aspire to integrate the CG video with live action, but I'm not sure what package helps the most with camera matchmoving, etc. However, I'm also trying to save as much $$ as...
