Ben, the IS is useful but honestly at that focal length and at macro distances you're much better off on sticks. Never was it more apparent that the IS in these lenses is designed for stills.

Most likely the sequences have changed to a different editing timebase. E.g. 23.98 to 29.97. This will cause the video clips to move around, and often leave gaps between the clips.

With this setup you won't be able to monitor the sound. Use an external recorder, such as the Tascam DR-100 or Zoom H4N so that you can monitor while recording.

I've never had that happen, but you may want to try transcoding to ProRes first (using Compressor or MPEG Streamclip), then taking that file into Cinema Tools and conforming. If it works it will be a...

Yes, you should "pre-convert" the clips so they are already at 50% speed when you import them to Final Cut. If you have Cinema Tools, just open a 60p clip, hit Conform, and select 30p. Cinema Tools...

Thanks Nigel. Initially I thought I had everything. It turns out that some of the footage was not properly backed up. Half of one card out of the 12 or so we shot. A very crucial chunk of footage -...

I've also noticed this truncation several times. I don't think it has anything to do with the computer being busy or the size of the clip. It happens when the machine is doing nothing else, on all...

L will do the trick for sure, in fact M or even S would blow away HD in resolution. If you were doing an endless time lapse with a small card, I'm sure you could get away with S. But of course L is...

It's a range in HD - 12 to 14 minutes as Chris mentions - because the actual limit is the 4GB file size. Depending on your ISO setting, that could be anywhere in this range of durations.

Wow freeze frames. We haven't had that yet, but continue to suffer from the buffer rapidly filling up and stopping the recording. It's just an occasional occurrence, but often enough to be dangerous!

133X is now too slow

Well, I can report that my Kingston 32GB 133x cards I've been using since day one are no longer able to keep up. My guess is it's because of the uptick in data rate with the new firmware. To save $ I...
