Re: FCP switcher -how do you like Premiere? Some frustrations.

Was a FCP user for many years and made the jump to PP CS when Apple "screwed the pooch" with X. Setting up the keyboard to function like FCP7 was a piece of cake and I haven't looked back. It's nice...

Re: Pure White Background Advice....

Looks pretty good...I'd push the contrast just a touch. Also, they are both pretty shiny which a makeup artist or simple towel off before a take would help with the bright spots on their faces. The...

Re: Pure White Background Advice....

I did a project last year with 200 videos about 3-5min a piece that were shot on white. I did extensive testing before day one as we shot 25 videos per day and had no time to waste. Also I wanted it...

Re: Help with C100 exposure

I know the zebras and WFM are more accurate ways of setting exposure but I've been doing so much run and gun I've come to trust and rely on the simple DSLR-style metering. What I have found is...

Re: Need Feedback on C100 purchase

Re: Canon it's Feb. 2014, is the C100 AF upgrade available yet?

Had mine for about 2 weeks with the upgrade and worth every penny!! Steadicam and crane now piece of cake. Center point isn't a problem if you assign a button for toggling AF modes. Not a fast way of...

Re: Sony launches PXW-Z100 4K Handheld XDCAM

Well, this just shows how wrong I was about reading specs alone to choose a camera! On paper the Z100 should have been a monster. I mean why would they put such a high-performance codec with 4:2:2 10...

Re: Best general usage Lens for c100?

I think the 24-105 is about perfect as a general lens for the C100. It gets me wide enough to do full body green screen from 8' away and has enough zoom plus IS for all sorts of other stuff. I do put...

Re: C100 Love (sorry if this has been done to death!)

Some more observations from more shooting…
