simulate cinema mode?
 

Anyone get any good settings that simulate the cinema mode of a camera like an XHA1 or XLH1? after the fact in case you want to shoot as clean as possible than recreate the effect later?

If you want to online in Vegas, check out the VASST Reel Pack plugins. They have plugin for just about every look and you can very easily customize them.

The next step up after the Reel Packs is After Effects.

Also, I suggest reading Stu Maschwitz's book "The DV Rebels Handbook" and/or "HDV:What You NEED to Know!" by Douglas Spotted Eagle, which are the most helpful and practical digital filmmaking books I've ever read.
