You guys didn't really add HDV support. Boo! You added a FireWire input routine. One that, for some reason, can't run on laptops!!! If it's because you can't convert in RT -- the solution is double-bu

AVID Avid rolls out lower-priced Media Composer When most people think of Avid, low cost is not a term likely to be used in connection with the venerable leader in broadcast and film editing systems.

HDCAM master 23.98 to 29.97
by Steven Escobar 4 years ago
I have a feature that was shot in HDCAM 23.98 and now I have a TV deal but according to their specs, they want a master that is HDCAM 29.97. Instead of having to master at 23.98 first then make a new

by Steve Mullen 4 years ago
THANK YOU! So, Kona can sense the timeline play rate is 23.98 and you are asking for 29.97 and so it auto-adds 2-3 pull-down Best Regards, Steve Mullen Digital Video Consulting--Las Vegas www.mindspri

One expert claimed the Preview buffer need not be more than 128MB with 1GB of total RAM. Shouldn't the buffer be enough to hold the amount of video that can be pre-buffered And, isn't this defined by
Trimmer usage / editing workflow techniques... what's yours?

For a long time, I did all of my editting in the timeline only. For me, this almost always meant putting long video clips (3+ hours for 1 "clip") on the timeline and splitting it into smaller clips. F

Sony Z1 capture into FCP5 with downconvert to DV is unreliable

I am wondering if anyone else has been having trouble capturing DV footage from a Sony Z1 using Sony's built-in downconvertion option I have had numerous problems -- a lot of issues just getting FCP5
Re: Sony Z1 capture into FCP5 with downconvert to DV is unreliable
by Steve Mullen 7 years ago
I've been testing the PC HDV NLEs and found no real problems capturing 720p30. Premiere Pro with AspectHD will batch capture 720p30 even though everyone claimed the JVC camcorders didn't have TC. In o
FCP - HDV codec settings VS Apple intermediate codec

I'm wondering if anyone could sheds some light on the HVD format and FCP settings, meaning: what difference between setting up your project using HDV codec VS Apple intermediate codec (AIC). So far ev
Re: FCP - HDV codec settings VS Apple intermediate codec
by Steve Mullen 7 years ago
I'm still waiting for my review copy of FCP 5. First, remember 1080 requires 2X more power than 720p30. Second, image quality can degrade as needed to keep frame rate correct. Third, the frame rate ca
Anyone actually editing HDV with Vegas??

Re: Anyone actually editing HDV with Vegas??

Turns-out you have to disable the External Capture application. Which is fine, except that VidCap60 has information on AV C Subunit so it certainly seems like the one to use. It is called Sony Capture
JVC Pro HD announcement

Re: JVC Pro HD announcement
by Steve Mullen 7 years ago
The JVC announcement is likely political to keep an HDV partner -- who doesn't have these features -- happy. 24P was never published. PCM audio was never announced. However, ProHD EX may be a new form

I'm not convined the single CCD is a failure. It delivers 600x600 effective rez verses Sony's 800x800. It delivers supurb color. With a 14-bit A D and DSP the highlight problem might go away, and the
