Re: Denoiser
The funky Blue screen seems to be a known issue with this plug in - I've seen it reported elsewhere and experienced it myself. In fact, this is the most buggy plug-in I've ever used - a whole range...

Indeed Ron. As someone who has been using FCP exclusively for the past decade (I haven't taken time out to see what's happening elsewhere) I found this blog useful:

Re: The "everything" solution?
Tim and Vincent are right, if in doubt go with 24p - that's your best bet unless you have a particular need to do otherwise. If your film is narrative / talking heads / documentary, stick to 24p.

Re: Anyone using 720 60p?
Hi Tim,
I can confirm it's absolutely true when switching from 1080 25p to 720 25p with a consistent shutter (I almost always shoot 1/50th) - this is the main reason I choose 720 when shooting...

Re: Anyone using 720 60p?
I've been shooting 720 a lot lately, because a) as Mark points out it works well for DVD/web output [the majority of my work] and b) with the XF you gain a stop in sensitivity, great for shooting...

Re: Sound devices Pix 240/220
Looks very cool! Built like a tank. Great battery options, great connectivity, great audio, they've thought of everything except easy mounting options :-)

Re: Atomos ninja 1080 50p
Hi Jeff,
Very keen to hear your feedback on the unit. The batteries look like Sony NP-F types - the same as used on your V1, is that right? Would be handy if that were the case.
I don't like...

Re: Must have accessories for an XF300

Re: XF300 vs. XH-A1 Low Light/Gain/Noise
For the work I do, 90% of the time I can control the light, and there's plenty of it, so it's a non-issue.
However, it's good to know you've got an extra stop when needed, albeit with a res...

Re: XF300 vs. XH-A1 Low Light/Gain/Noise
It may be worth noting that the XF takes a big hit shooting 1080 progressive. Switch to interlaced or 720 progressive and it gains a full stop.
If I know output is going to be dvd or web, and...

As I understand it (please correct me if I'm wrong):
At 360 degrees the shutter is "open", and will correspond to your frame rate. Ie: 24p = 1/24
As you reduce the degrees, the amount of light...
