    Few Questions

    Alright, I have a few questions I want to throw out there. First of all, how expensive would it be to rent a DVX-100A? the best bet would be to become good friends with someone who has one. . . but I would like to know if anyone has ever done this before. I have a VX2100 but wouldn't mind using...

    CA & digital distribution

    I was just curious, have they ever written these laws in simple terms? or are they always wordy? I mean that could be written so much easier, and, well, I'd attempt to right now but it's too late. . . .Is to to create loopholes? hehe

    When Theatres go Digital

    Yeah, about the whole digital film thing. Is anyone else familiar with the advanced AAC audio codec developed at Fraunhofer Institut in Germany? Ready for this? It's 5.1 surround sound under 50kbps. . . so we're talking 5.1 streaming over the internet. So now the possibilities are quite amazing...

    The $20,000 online HD editing suite?

    Yeah I remember checking all that stuff out at the NAB this year. Pretty cool. DVCPRO HD is a pretty interesting thing. I mean, you can get 1080i60 over firewire, which is insane, but I saw it in action. They had to crank down the datarate to 100 Mbps, and 50 Mbps, and at least when they had it...

    Hey thanks Clive! That helps. I will have to look into a lot of this more too. Once everything become further along perhaps we'll know. The more permission the better I suppose. Thanks!

    Release forms question(s)

    Hey I have a question. Under what circumstances would I need to get a release form signed? If you can recognize someone's face? Well here's what I'm doing. I working on a video (documentaryish style) about healing and the sense of touch, it will go into massage and how human touch is actually a...

    archived-videos Every 15 Minutes

    Hey thanks guys. And yes, this whole program is actually for the students. (None of it was real, except the reactions!). The police set up a mock car accident and the whole school came and watched as they reinacted what a real accident would be like, with all the emergency vehicles and the...

    What do you get from being here?

    Well I think this forum is just great! Where I used to live, the only people into flim was me. . . . and . . . . my friends when they were bored, so finding a forum where other people are into it as well, that's awesome. It's fun to share ideas and hear about what other people are doing with...

    archived-videos Every 15 Minutes

    Hey Everyone, Well I decided to post something that I did. This the Ever 15 Minutes video I edited for my hometown high school. Wouldn't mind some feedback. I wouldn't mind doing more of these kinds of videos, anyone know of anything by any chance? It's moving. It's a short 5 minute piece. The...

    editing what editing software is best?????

    Yeah it's pretty sick. . . but it does say that you're not supposed to sell or make money using the education version, but yeah, the software behaves the same. That would be the catch

    editing what editing software is best?????

    Everything operates exactly the same, no limitations from original, the only difference is that when you open the program the word "academic" shows up, and that's it.

    iMovie3 or Final Cut Pro or Final Cut Express

    Well Cinetools comes with Final Cut 4, not separate.. . and you would have to convert all your footage into 23.98fps BEFORE editing. . . not after. . . for technical complicating reasons. Let's say you edit your film in Final Cut Express, it will still look good and look just like you shot it...

    editing what editing software is best?????

    Well I'm a final cut pro nut, so I prefer that, just cause that's where I am most comfortable, and also there is the new Production Suite from Apple, which is Final Cut Pro 4 (with Soundtrack, Livetype, and Cinetools), along with DVD Studio Pro 3, and the new Motion, all for 1299. . . which...

    editing what editing software is best?????

    I have used both, but the last version of Premiere for mac I used was 5, and I think it was still in the phase of getting support for DV cameras (weren't those the days). For me at least in a nutshell final cut just made more sense as far as where tools were, how everythign worked, where in...

    iMovie3 or Final Cut Pro or Final Cut Express

    Alright, hang on tight. Here's the thing with the whole 24P business. When you use the AGDVX100, no matter what setting you're using it is always in 29.97. 24P mode is still 29.97, but the WAY it records the frames are different, so it looks more filmic I guess you'd say. You can still use final...
