Hi Jason,



Yeah, the Merlin shots were all with the HV30. I was pretty impressed with the image quality, in good light anyway. The camera controls are a bit bizarre, especially coming from a...

Andrew,

For a first highlights, I think your video is great. I'm sure they'll love it.

A few suggestions:

I would get away from using zooms. The slow zooms in or out look a bit old style and...

Hi Rickey,

No, that's not twixtor. It's the preset timewarp effects in Avid Xpress Pro. I'm continually amazed at how good a slow motion it gives.

Thanks for watching!

Highlights clip

Hey all,

It's been a while, so I thought I'd post a highlights clip:

Wow, Carl, what a great move. Nobody I know, I hope.

That's got to be the best way to go for run and gun. You can quickly adjust white balance with the + or - buttons as you run from place to place. Great when you don't have time to do a proper while...

That shouldn't matter. The tearing on your computer is probably a video card performance issue. Your tv should be able to play it smoothly. It's worth a shot to see if you see a difference, and it...

Not sure about that. A mixdown will render all effects and transcode native HDV to DNxHD. Then he outputs a QT ref for encoding.

Transcoding the sequence reformats all clips to DNxHD. Is it then...

Where are you seeing this? On your computer screen?

I see this all the time on LCDs, and it's got nothing to do with the video itself. If you hook your camera up to a tv, do you still see it?

Hi again, Perrone,



I get where you are coming from, but the capturing is not the problem, it's the length of post production.

I find capturing tape no trouble, but I try to streamline as...

Hi Perron,

Look, I agree with you. But it's apples and oranges.

2-8 hours is nothing. I routinely shoot 14-16 hour days. I can't remember the last time I had the luxury of an 8 hour shoot.

Perrone, you say you don't do weddings, so your focus may be different. I can think of very good reasons to go HDV for an event videographer.

Amen to that. I figure I've got one last season in me with my Z1, then I'll upgrade. Scarlet looks very interesting, but as Ethan says, not much use making any decisions until we can see one.
