Re: FS5 - Are you doing manual WB?
I won't flame you, but I will point out that those slow, gradual changes are exactly where the problems can arise. One single, abrupt manual WB change can be covered by a cut away, and only happens...

Re: NEX AE 50UH and lenses
What bad luck, dropping them both at the same time! :)
Apologies; I watched my FS700 and tripod tumble to the hardwood floor at the hands of a very intoxicated wedding guest on the weekend and I...

Re: FS5 - Are you doing manual WB?
I don't think Auto WB is ever a good idea, but I also don't subscribe to the idea that every single shot needs to be WB manually with a white card. I also don't think there is any point disparaging...

Re: Rant: Warp Stabilizer
I think the biggest problem with the warp stabiliser is that the cameras we are shooting with don't mix very well with it. Any time we have shakes that need removing, we also probably have severe...

Re: How do I split Avchd files in PP cc
Do those two clips need to be joined, or can they remain as separate files? Are those two clips the only ones from that date/recording? Or are clips 4-9 (for example) all segments of one long spanned...

Re: How do I split Avchd files in PP cc
Hi David,
I'm not sure I understand your request.
Do you mean you have a spanned AVCHD file which has 15 individual clips (which would be roughly 2-3 hours long in total)?
If so can just...

Re: Rant: Warp Stabilizer
If it's not affecting you then there's no point getting mad about it. If your clients start demanding you shoot everything handheld and applying warp stabiliser, then it might be worth fussing over,...

Re: Basic After FX doubt
Just saw this thread and though I'd reply in case anybody else stumbles upon it looking for an answer:
Create your text and animate as usual, then set the blending mode to "Stencil Alpha".

Re: Streaming sports at a low data rate
Nice work Andrew. The hardware and software is all there these days for doing this kind of basic webcasting, but the biggest hurdle in Australia is our local internet connections.

Re: 59.94 footage plays slow
Yes.When using the S & Q mode on the FS5 or FS700, the footage is recorded in a 60p stream when shooting at 120fps or 240fps.
Sony first implemented this feature to a) made sure the recorded...

Re: Phantom 3 Standard - Does the job?
Hi Chris, I'm not too sure about how the rules will apply retrospectively. I can't see how they would possibly police it though, unless all the footage has a baked in time stamp!
The new rules for...

Thanks Steve. I shoot some weddings but I think they're usually chaotic enough without the stress of adding a drone to the mix. I probably would put together a library of generic aerial shots of...

Re: Windows 10 free?
I saw this last night also! I think this perfectly highlights just how pervasive these non-stop Windows update requests are.
Ironically, I had one pop up as soon as I clicked on this thread.

Re: Why do people use tripod legs with spreaders?
The spreader position makes a big difference to the setup speed too. My old Libecs (can't remember the models) had the spreader fixed to the top stage, so when you set the tripod up the spreader and...
