Re: BMD cinema camera + Edius?

Marcus,

Regarding the three formats BMD produces. I have Edius 5.5 which is 8-bit. It will handle ProRes 422 ok. I dropped a Avid DNxHD file on my timeline and it crashed. Don't know about...

Re: DVD Replication / Duplication – Video Picture Quality

Martin,
Replicated DVDs will give better performance than duplicated. You can use a higher bit-rate to encode your master and have much better DVD player compatibility. I have no experience with...

Re: New! Blackmagic 2.5K Raw cinema camera!

I think the majority of folks attracted to this camera at this price point will be more inclined to purchase used EF mount lenses which there is a "boat load" of out there. I don't think Canon is...

Re: New! Blackmagic 2.5K Raw cinema camera!

What would be the crop factor when using EF lenses with this camera? Trying to figure out if I have things covered with my existing lenses.

Re: Spring at Station Cove

Thanks Jim. Nature stuff is what I like to do best. I have done some narrative videos but they are not my cup of tea. I like to go out to remote areas and get absorbed into the setting.

Re: I got a budget crane/jib, how do I best use it?

I have the bottom of the jib bolted to a 501p mounting plate. I am using one bolt but could have used two if necessary. The 501 then slides in and locks to 577 quick release adapter which is...

Re: How much to charge for this, and what about tax?

Re: How much to charge for this, and what about tax?

Yes, you will need to charge sales tax. Or, you could sell them wholesale to the dance studio, in which case I believe they would be responsible for charging/collecting the sales tax. In this case...

Re: I got a budget crane/jib, how do I best use it?

Try using your camera's remote control to start/stop the shot. This will help reduce unwanted movement. Also, balancing the jib is critical. Sometimes balancing to bias the front or back of the jib...

Re: DYI Motorized Igus Slider

The servo has a fair amount of power but the belt and drive pully have such small teeth that the belt begins to slip when the rail is not fairly level. Also my 5 lb. camera is too much to lift...

Re: 24 bit or 16 bit audio to DVD?

When I am doing a commercial project DVD master that is being used for replication I use AC3 audio at 320kb/s. This gives you more headroom for a higher video bitrate without a discernible drop in...

Re: Glideshot 5' Tilting Jib, thoughts?

Mark, here are some photos of my rig. Another good thing about a short jib is you can use your camera LCD screen for framing. BTW the first time I used it I was hanging out over a small waterfall. ...

Re: Glideshot 5' Tilting Jib, thoughts?

I have a small non-fluid head on the jib that I use to get the desired angle. As far as being able to tilt or pan in addition to the normal jib movements, I don't have a need for it. Plus this jib...
