Re: Quick and Inexpensivew way to block outside noise

Thanks Allan, very good points. We're using a muslin screen, which as a fabric won't bounce sound.

Tell me more about OOPhase. I find it VERY interesting. Is there a tutorial on line that I can...

Re: Quick and Inexpensivew way to block outside noise

Thanks Buce. Excellent advice. However, we can't permanently caulk the windows shut as 85% of the time we're not shooting (just editing) and we like to open the windows (besides, that solution would...

Re: Can't smart render HDV in Vegas Pro 9.0 (no "no recompression")

I've now successfully smart-rendered in a live production setting using 60i footage, cuting by at least half the processing time. For some reason Vegas doesn't like progressive HDV footage, but with...

Re: Can't smart render HDV in Vegas Pro 9.0 (no "no recompression")

Well, I've done more extensive tests. I even tried rendering a clip to the default HDV setting, loading that rendered clip, matching project properties, and trying to render it again to the exact...

Re: Can't smart render HDV in Vegas Pro 9.0 (no "no recompression")

Can't smart render HDV in Vegas Pro 9.0 (no "no recompression")

I'm trying to render raw HDV footage from a Canon XHA1 to an HDV project and avoid recompression.

I've done this successfully with XDCAM footage from an EX1, as well as DV footage (720X480) from...

Re: XLR cable acting as antenna?

Right, sorry Paul. I thought he meant the wireless mic transmitter, but he was referring to the big-ass antenna looming over the treetops.

I suspected it was the long-ish (6-foot) cable acting as...

Re: XLR cable acting as antenna?

Re: XLR cable acting as antenna?

It's a Sennheiser receiver. Not the same frequency range as AM. Besides, as I mentioned, the receiver was not powered. No batteries were in it.

Re: XLR cable acting as antenna?

It's a 6-foot cable going from a non-powered wireless receiver (no battery in it) to a video camera's XLR input. It's a balanced cable.
