I just found this new product called VeeScopeLive that allows you to do live chroma key with a Mac and a DV camera. It also has a waveform monitor, vector scope, Zebra pattern, proc amp and supports DVCpro HD Cameras. The obvious use would be during a super-8 transfer to your mac to make sure you ar...

Thanks for your valuable input DriveIn. I look forward to giving the H2 a good run this weekend.

Nice, zoom also makes an XLR capable recorder >>> http://www.samsontech.com/products/productpage.cfm?prodID=1901 My brother sells Zoom products on his web site http://cottosystems.com so I get the family discount :D That H2 seems cool; however, I gotta have xlr. So, I'd rather have this: http://www....

I received it today. My first impression is that it's easy to use, compact, light weight. It should prove to be useful for sound reinforcement. I have no formal sound training so any comments I give should be viewed as such. It looks like an electric razor or old time ribbon microphone at first glan...

I left my airline job recently and now I work for NASA quality assurance here in Houston. I have been really busy lately and my new job causes me to work longer hours. I do still lurk here occasionally, I just don't post much as I did before. Regards, Paul Cotto Hey Paul. Sounds cool. We haven't see...

I was thinking about recording room noise or location ambient background sound separately from the dialog. Or when no dialog is required like in an action sequence. Typically the 5.1 surround sound effects and Foley work are not done during the film shoot anyway. Regards, Paul Cotto The qualityof th...

No SMPTE but it does 5.1, 24 Bit 96 khz surround sound with 4 built in microphone capsules. I ordered one from eBay, should be here next week.

Try MPEG Streamclip, its free. http://www.squared5.com/ Regards, Paul Cotto I'm still looking for an inexpensive NLE capable of performing reverse pulldown on an HDV 60i stream that contains footage shot in 24P mode via the HV20. Final Cut Pro and Premiere appear to be the only NLEs on the market wh...

Keep me posted on how that all works out for you.

It has audio levels on the view screen, 70 and 100% zebra bars and full control of all video settings. The only thing that would make it better is if I could put my Pentax screw mout lenses on it. It even has manual focus via a servo knob. I am very happy with it so far. Regards, Paul Cotto Penn Cam...

Then everyone should go out and buy a Mac :D Then the world would be in harmony. By the way, here is a link to an article and video clip about how one DP uses HDV in his productions. http://www.studiodaily.com/main/video/7871.html Regards, Paul Cotto Its formated for 24P so if your player is forcing...

There are three speeds available. I have not played with them extencivly so I cant comment yet. By the way, here is a link to an article and video clip about how some DP's use HDV in film productions. http://www.studiodaily.com/main/video/7871.html Regards, Paul Cotto Paul How much control do you wi...

Its formated for 24P so if your player is forcing any other frame rate that would explain the artifacts. Try MPLAYER and force 24fps.
