If it's what I think you're talking about... you can get that effect by changing the shutter speed to 1/100th or higher. Kind of a "Saving Private Ryan" look. Although it won't be "smoother", just...

Are you shooting in auto? Your shutter probably dropped to 1/24th. As the other guys said, shoot at 1/48th shutter speed and 24p is fine.

Also, you might be having issues with the rolling...

Woah, that's not good. I keep a clear UV filter on mine at all times for protection. Highly recommended.

It's not the A1 or HD, it's the Letus and the SLR lenses. With any adapter such as this you're going to lose 2 stops or more. Same as you will with filters such as polarizers, grads, or ND...

I second custom PRESET 16 if you want a really sharp, contrasty look. Although beware you won't have much lattitude to play with later in post.

John,

I'm just curious, what's giving you the most issues? Why not just go out and shoot with the A1 getting "On The Job" training?

A1 Black Levels?

I'm curious if there is a setting for outputting 7.5 IRE black levels in analog component or composite from the A1? Or, should it do this automatically?

So I continued my test and found that it's not Console. Console actually records the TRUE 23.98fps (from the A1) to the MPEG file - at least that's how Vegas reads it and how MPEG Stream Clip reads...

Yeah, I saw that, but it is referring to MXF files which are Standard Def coming out of CONSOLE.

All the HDV files are MPEG (M2T files).

So do you think it's an Avid thing or a CONSOLE thing...

CONSOLE and 24F HDV

I've downloaded the CONSOLE demo and it seems to work great except I'm having issues with 24F HDV files once I import them into Avid Xpress Pro.

Does CONSOLE support 24F HDV recording?

FS-C for A1 and HV20?

I know the FS-C is designed to work with Canon cameras and I have an A1, but I also have an HV20. Will it work with both these?

Thanks for the help.

While the A1's LCD is only 2.8" compared to others that are 3.5" (I'm not sure what size the Sony's is) I find it to be sharp. I also like that you can magnify it, use peaking and turn it B&W, which...
