An update to this subject:

What I've found is that indeed you can drop a 100 or even 160mbs long GOP nano/XDR QT clip into FCP and if you let the NLE auto-conform your settings to the codec *it...

I can also confirm editing straight from the CF card (SanDisk Extreme IV 45 MBs) in FCP 7 and outputting a self-contained QT directly without recompression. (I put in a few transitions to see if they...

Obviously progressive is preferable, but in this case I've been surprised at how good the conversions can look with really clean, full-raster 1080i footage.

Did you notice how well the h264 held...

Overcrank with a little help from the nanoFlash

I'm amazed at what the combo of Optical Flow in Compressor and nearly uncompressed 1080i (via nanoFlash) can achieve.

Here is the raw 1080i nanoFlash clip I posted previously, but this time...

Very much looking forward to your footage too, Aaron!

Here's a clip of 24F embedded in the 1080i stream. I can't wait for the firmware update that allows pulldown removal!

Ok, so I shot some footage that I knew would be VERY difficult for HDV and even the 35mbs long GOP mode to deal with.

Shot with a friend and his kids up in the nearby mountains beside...

Raw acquisition quality is the reason. Period.

Basically all image manipulations in post production benefit *signifigantly* from a lightly compressed, more data-rich recording.

Believe it or not, I get great results from the super simple SteadyTracker. It kind of doubles as pseudo monopod too.

That's my favorite part. It doesn't draw attention to itself and is way less intimidating than most low cost HD cameras.

I've had the same problem. The 5D's picture feels *fat* and the H1's HDV feels *thin* and you really can't get them to intercut invisibly. And I'm not talking merely about DOF differences...it's just...
