i bought my dvx in america but im moving to scotalnd in a few months. how will this effect my power issue and what can i do to get the best results without frying anything with electrical conversions


ps. i have not found 1 thing that details how to get the 24pa film look from my cam to premier pro. after hours of looking is there a detail from start to finish.

PLEASE. i have encore, premier after effects. THANKS
 
i've just been given a PAL hvx200, i'm only shooting on tape at the moment ( don't ask )
but i can't find a way of switching to NTSC, so you may need to look into your camera and see if you can go PAL
p.s. main's is 240volts in scotland

You should be fine. You just need to pick up a decent converter. I am sure you can find some from most reputable retailers online. People do it all the time. Barry Green travels all over the world, and I'm sure he has had to charge his camera or laptop before :thumbsup:

my wife and i are going to be working with teenagers in glasgow. its semi permanetn for 3 years. i have premier pro. most of my stuff will be shown on a projector so it shouldnt matter. i do need some more gear that i cant afford yet. lighting, case, etc. thanks
 
If you flip over the battery charger you will see that it probably is like mine(100b) and you don't need a converter.You will need an adapter to change the plug configuration from an "Edison" or North American 120 volt plug to whatever the plug is in Scotland. But you are oprobably fine with your charger . And to the best of my knowledge you can't change from NTSC to PAL. You either have a NTSC or a PAL camera. But maybe there is a menu hack or something ???
 
Actually you just need a new power cord with a UK plug, plug it in your charger and you are set. Steal it from someones old VCR, those things are everywhere.
Depending on what you shoot for there might be no problem using NTSC in Scotland. Most PAL equipment handle NTSC without a problem, the problems will arise if you mix footage with other folks or plan to shoot for TV ...
