Hello, I have one question for HD7 users, anybody noticed original recorded file in HD7 mean .tod files actually are progressive scan instead of interlaced? If we play original .tod files in Window Media 11 than they are so smooth and very much clear, and if play same converted files supplied CyberLink's PowerDirector software than they looks interlaced! Clearly we can see horizontal lines!...

I have something toggles off/on and not sure what I did? When I insert a clip into my time line I don't get the audio. However, if I add a new timeline then all is well. Something is turned off and not sure what it is?

Hi folks, Just finished a recent 30 second commercial for the Elephant Butte Inn and Ivory Spa, located in southern New Mexico. The spot will hopefully air in El Paso, for an NBC-channel affiliate. http://madjavaproductions.com/EBInn_..._30secSpot. wmv Shot on the XL2, 30p, with the stock 20x lens, and the 3x wide. First time color grading with MB Looks. Let me know what y'...

Following much debate about the effect of flashes in EX1 footage whilst only seeing one bit of actual footage, I'll throw the following off-cuts into the community. http://www.mdma.tv/ex1/flashes.html Warning: contains flashing strobes. Fast editing. May cause seizures. May contain nuts. It's big - 14 MB - because it's in high quality PhotoJPEG. That means you don't need the QT ...

Check out the videos captured by the Sigma DP1.. http://www.rytterfalk.com/2008/03/03...ery-film-te st/ The videos are film like in both DOF and color.. too bad it maxes out at 320x240... The reason why it looks so good is that the DP1 has a huge sensor..

I'm just curious what king of software all of you guys use to edit your audio. I personally haven't had too much experience with audio editing, so I've just stuck to Soundtrack Pro, and although it's been a little buggy and crashes on occasion, it's worked out for me. I know that a lot of people like pro tools, but from what I've heard it's also extremely expensive. So I'm wondering, what ...

Here in India every one in the field uses Panasonic cams MiniDV (broad casting) rather than Canon though it's more versatile (what I feel), can any one tell the advantage of Panasonic over Canon. I have XL2, which is giving me good results, & greatest advantage is using of EF tele lens for bird photography. I don't think this advantage of using 35mm lens on Panasonic cams is not possible....

Alright I'm editing this short film where they forgot to record someone playing a cop screaming outside a door before he enters. Is there anyway that I can take a regular voice recording I just did here in my office and make it seem like the person is outside the home?

This is my very first save the date video. There were a number of behind the scenes complications but I won't go into any of that right now. Just take a look and tell me what you think. Thanks! http://www.vimeo.com/1248894

Everyone seems to be busy making films... this is either a good sign or a bad sign, as the challenge gets close to the close. :) Me? I'm going to wait until the absolute last minute before picking up a camera. Nothing like pressure!

Hi there, Here's my situation in a nutshell: after twenty years as a producer, standing next to a cameraman who always shot with a beautiful wide-angle lens on his Sony betacam (he was often just a foot from the subject, so a face would almost fill half the frame), and who got the most wonderful footage - - now I'm operating a camera myself (the EX1), and I want the same look... ...

I've been doing some experimenting with leaving the detail part of my picture profiles turned off, I understand that adding sharpening at the end of the effects chain is better but the side effect of not using the detail setting seems to be that the peaking function rarely helps. This seems especially true when trying to focus on faces, with detail off I'm really struggling due to the lack of ...
