Hello, I am trying to figure the best way or organize my project files and raw footage while editing. I already have an external hard drive with usb3.0, so I was planning to dump my raw footage there and use an internal ssd for the program and project files (haven't gotten the computer yet). I...

As I'm browsing through different audio recorders I noticed something about a few particular models from Sound Devices. The 722 apparently has 2 channels (with 2 xlr inputs), yet the 744 says it has 4 channels (but it still says only 2 xlr inputs). The price difference between these 2 is about...

Hello, It seems Aclove and others out there?) have highly regarded getting an Oade Bros upgrade for sound recorders. I was going to post this question just to Aclove, but figured it would be less annoying to not post yet another question to just him. I am looking at getting the Tascam HD-P2 or...

This is a short film I made and was recently completed. Please give honest feedback. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMa5iUPCdQE Of course big thanks to sonnyboo here on the forums, as I used a royalty-free track of his!!!

Recently I've been doing a lot of narrations, etc., and if I record audio w/ video (on camera or connecting shotgun mic) I know it takes up a lot more memory on my computer (because of video, too). I connected my shotgun to the computer via the red mic input (and xlr converter, aka pearstone...

Hello, I recently shot a short film and am in need of some music for it. It's about someone retracing their footsteps to find something, and as it goes along the audience sees flashbacks that follow to come to where it is. As far as style I was thinking it might be more ambient background...

Hello, I googled to find some release forms online (location, talent, etc.) and found a couple sites. Do the links below have well written documents? Any other good ones to use that any of you know of? I understand some of the phrases, but I'm not a lawyer, either. My sister is, maybe I should...

Hello, I recently got a blu ray home theater system and love it so far! Now I've been sort of looking for a few blu ray's to get, but I'm not sure of a lot. The only one I have is Memento, which is a favorite of mine and one that I can def. stand to watch multiple times. I guess I was just...

I think I remember reading a similar thread a while ago, but I can't remember. I have been considering buying a blu ray burner. Thinking external cause then I can move it around different computers, and I'll be off to college in about two years anyway (in case I use it beyond that). I know...

Hello, I am planning on now starting to shoot my first feature, and am definitely excited. For casting I went to my friends who I thought could act well, would have the time and who lived reasonably close to where the main shooting would take place. However, I have three main characters, and...

I was just wondering, If you submit to a film festival, and your film gets accepted, are you required to go to it? Is it strongly recommended? I'm thinking people wouldn't be likely to attend if they submit to a festival far far away. Cause if I submitted to a given festival far away I...

Hello, Before I asked a question about moving an entire timeline of clips on a project, but I realize that now it doesn't move the other tracks (for music, effects, etc.). Is there a way to move these tracks, too, so that I don't always have to match all the video/audio tracks when I move them...

Hello, I am using sony vegas pro 9 and dvd architect 5. I have in the past burned dvds in the wmv format, but found out it was better to do mpeg 2 and ac3. So the video worked just the same in the dvd arch. preview like it did with the wmv file. But it isnt able to burn I get the following...

hello, I have a project that I am kind of contemplating whether to do now mostly due to it having many night shots (particularly in bedrooms as it deals with dreams.) I have a canon hv30 and found a few posts giving some discussions on the best settings for low light with the camera, but none...

Hello everyone, A classmate of mine recently (and suddenly) moved to Mexico for his fathers work. Now over time him and I have made a few videos for our French class projects. I would like to at least send him a dvd copy of all our work together as a memento. Some of his closer friends in our...

hello, I got great advice on my last similar post, and now especially I am just making a lot of shorts and what not. (of course It's very enjoyable, also). Im a sophmore now in hs and our school talks more and more about careers, college, etc. as we get closer. The way of thinking at school is...

I've been using sony vegas pro for a while with videos from my canon hv30, and they always fit. The captured video is something like and m2t file. But recently when I import these types of files it says an error occured, that the file could not be opened. I can watch the clips on their own, but...

I recently watched the 1914 silent film "TIllie's Punctured Romance" with Charlie Chaplin on TCM. I realized more that silent films can still be impactful just like modern movies. It got me thinking that this could be useful for people who may just be starting out as filmmakers or who don't have...

I was just wondering at what point you all started applying to film festivals since you began making films? I have those feelings that maybe I shouldnt even look to submit to anything yet, but not sure. Ive done a few by now and think they rise as I go, but just not sure if I need to wait. And...
