HVX footage (raw files) from Sundance

Hey guys,

I've offered some of the fine posters from this community the opportunity to host some raw files I shot with the HVX200 at Sundance the past two weeks.

No takers.

So I thought I would open it up to the list and see if there are any dvxusers out there who would want to host a few (?) raw MXF files shot in 720 and 1080 with the new camera, and share it with the community.

Nothing groundbreaking with the cinematography, just handheld whenever I had a few minutes several of the days of the show.

I have a shoot tomorrow, so if I don't hear from anyone tonight, it will be Wednesday night or Thursday before I can upload them.

Hope some with the group find these files useful.

Regards,

Cre8tive
 
Okay,

Thanks to our good friend mochouinard, I have posted some raw MXF clips from Sundance on his FTP site. More to follow, if you like.

mochouinard, can you please tell everyone how you would like them to access your site?

Is it possible any PC side conversion for regular notebooks, please?

Thanks in advance!
 
These are raw files, and I can edit them with my Avid Xpress Pro HD software on PC.

But for you, I will make a .wmv soon of a few clips and post those as well.

My first priority is to get the raw files in the hands of shooters/editors who can evaluate the raw and comment on them.

I was gonna say the samething cre8tive, Also can you do more dynamic shoot. Walking, going from wide to full tele, doing a slow and a quick 360 ;) A bunch of different dynamic stuff.
 
If someone could give us that damned P2 Viewer :)
Guys, anyone could upload the freeware software, because we need the serial number to download P2 reader, and here in Pal LAND still don't have the camera.

Thanks

p.s.: MXF files (made with Hvx200) works ONLY with P2 Viewer, also if you have installed MXF drivers (As me) it doesn't work. You need to install first the drivers then use P2 Viewer on Pc.
 
Cre8tive, thanks for making these available and for mochouinard posting them! Single biggest group of raw MXF's we've yet seen, great for testing Raylight, which still has some blocking issues.

Had some fun, reducing the 1080 (shot with standard 3:2 pulldown) shots down to 720p and could NOT see a resolution advantage of the 1080... Overall, I'm dissapointed with the 1080 performance of this camera and would be hard pressed to use it over 720p unless a client needed interlaced 1080i.

Then took all clips down to 480 and straight into my Velocity NLE to examine the quality of a software downconvert output component to my Sony CRT. That looked amazing, a notch better than the pure DVCPRO50 to my eyes.

Thanks again, will re-test when Raylight has a bug-fix issued for the blocky problem...

So what do I need on my mac to run these raw files? I tried to get it to run in Final Cut Pro 5. Am I missing something?
 
I am still at FCP 4.5 So I was trying to see if I can play it on my XPpro box. If there is a way to play it on my mac other than FCP that would be good....
 
I downloaded all of MFX files. I tried to import them into Final Cut Pro HD using the P2 import option. That did not work.

I then searched the web for a MFX player. I found something called flip 4 mac (I downloaded the trial version). It gave me another import option in Final Cut Pro called MFX import. It started working and then I got an error. What Am I doing wrong? Should I view the files some other way?

Thanks!!!
