hey guys,

i tired searching for this but was able to find nothing. i guess my search skills are below par.

what if you were shooting a music video, VARICAM was A cam and HVX was B, VARICAM outfitted with canon cine lenses and HVX with stock lens.

giving the HVX a completely different look/aesthetic than the VARICAM, to clearly separate the two cameras in the final cut, what HVX settings and recording format do you think would be best to TRY and hold up to the VARICAM in terms of sharpness?

detail levels maxed out, at 1080?

thanks.
 
Leave the detail at 0 on the HVX, and turn down the detail a bit on the varicam. Use the HVX for closer shots if you can and the varicam for wider and med shots. Because the Varicam only records inside of 720/60p, set up the hvx recording format to match that setting, you can still shoot at 24p or what ever frame rate, it just gets recorded inside of the 720/60p stream. These cameras have been inter cut many times before, just stay away from film-rec on the varicam as that might cause some difficulty trying to match that with the HVX footage. Have fun!
 
So, are you saying to set the HVX to 720p60 under "Record settings" and set the FILMCAM settings to the same frame rate you have set for the Varicam?

I am also getting ready for a similar 2 cam (varicam and hvx) shoot and I am trying to figure out the best way to set up the hvx.
