    benefits to a mini dv camera?

    I cannot friggen remember which Canon Prosumer it is buts NOT hd. It uses tapes. They are about five years old. Problem is that they are like rental cars in that they are 'rented' out on a 24hour basis to anyone who is a member. These members are not professionals but people who are interested...

    editing Editing on a laptop?

    I was just wondering because I thought it would be easier. You can just move from room to room or state to state for that matter and have your work with you. However anyone I have met have said they would never work on a laptop.

    editing Editing on a laptop?

    I am always hearing to stay away from laptops when editing. Just wondering if anyone here using a pro editing system with a lap top. I wonder that because you can move a laptop with you and work whereever you happen to be. Or no one dares.

    editing Breakdown the lingo please

    I think I can figure it out but here is a list anyway: Tape Media Layout Requirements: 1.) At least 15 seconds of color bar and tone (use colorbar from media generator and tone is nothing more than a sound effect) 2.)At least 5 seconds of black prior to the first frame of slate (So I gather...

    benefits to a mini dv camera?

    I have never used one but am wondering as a studio not too far from here is considering selling their older Canon prosumer cameras. I would imagine there are pro's to owning one over the sd card. What do you like about it over the sd card camcorders? Would you rather invest more money in a...

    editing This is a doozy. Does anyone know? Vegas 11 editing for a commercial

    I guess it works with Vegas pro and not Vegas 11. I downloaded a trail of Vegas 10 Pro and can customize it exactly as Dreadylocks showed (again thanks so much and if it were possible, I would hand you a beer, or martini, whatever you want) The only things I couldn't find are: Chroma 4:2:0 and...

    Hi

    Okay this has nothing to do with the price of tea in China BUT from where I am sitting and needing to wear better glasses, Zensteves photo looks like that dude from the 80's show Family Ties. The father, the hippie uba liberal father of Michael J Fox. I used to watch that show. Anyway, thanks...

    Am I being screwed here?

    Jeeze. Its a lesson for all. No matter WHO you are working with get a release signed. I know a girl that had her own mother sign a release form when she made a music video. I think the worse people to work with would be friends and/or relatives. I hope the op gets it all sorted out and learns a...

    Okay thanks. Don't run too fast. Be careful of the storm. I will fool around with it but sometimes I have to step away for a moment because sometimes I can't see the obvious. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    I must be missing something here. Where do I find export settings? I am going to the wrong place. I am going to 'render as'

    editing This is a doozy. Does anyone know? Vegas 11 editing for a commercial

    This is what I have been doing (in practice right now). Opening a new project. Dragging any footage to the timeline. Click on project on the upper left Then click on render as I have clicked on Mpeg 2 and also avi Then it asks for template and I go down and click on each one. In the box at the...

    editing This is a doozy. Does anyone know? Vegas 11 editing for a commercial

    Makes sense. I was thinking about that today and thought it didn't make any sense it would be the camera. I can't call them because I work the same hours they operate so I did email them. Vegas is normally pretty good about getting back.

    editing This is a doozy. Does anyone know? Vegas 11 editing for a commercial

    They actually don't want a dvd at all. Either I upload it or hand it to them on Betamax (believe it or not) or a mini dv tape. The list I wrote above is the rendering. They wont even blink an eye at it if it doesn't have all those stats the way they want them. When I try to render any video on...

    editing This is a doozy. Does anyone know? Vegas 11 editing for a commercial

    Good morning. This is driving me crazy. Has anyone ever produced a tv ad using Vegas 11? I guess I need to know if its me, the camera I am using (a cheap one) or that I need a pro editing system. Here are the requirements to run a 30 second commercial: Mpeg 2 Transport Stream Frame 29.97 Aspect...
