Re: What is the best handycam?

off-topic : but related to the comments about Zoom H1 : i have the Tamrac DR-05 and it is similar size and price to a Zoom H1. It has been great, apparently it is made quite a bit more sturdily than H1 (i have H4N too). Both H1 and Tamrac DR-05 are much much lighter than the H4N which is handy for s...

Re: Documentary projects: what software?

well really any of software product for editing should be relatively easy to learn. they all tend to work in a similar way, drop i video clips, you have a timeline, add effects, cuts, crossfades, titles, fade in and fade out. I use Sony Vegas, but the others you mention should be fine too. you can d...

Re: HDR-HC7 problems

I'm having the exact same problem with my hdr hc9, with the blurry jittery video, did you manage to get this fixed, if so did they say what the problem was? Try to determine if the video is actually out-of-focus. Put it in a tripod or a table-top and see if ANYTHING in the shot is in focus. Put som...

Re: Moisture condensation problem with my HVR A1P

hmm, so maybe the heat from being plugged in overnight manages to warm some internal part enough to evaporate some residual moisture and get rid of that message? Good to hear your A1P has risen from the ashes!

Re: SONY HXR MC2000 file transfer issue

If anyone's using a Mac, i think the best workflow when working with AVCHD footage (.MTS files) is to transcode to ProRes422 as early as possible. That will get you away from the ultra-compressed AVCHD codec. AVCHD is a good codec, but its really a codec to *shoot* with and not a codec to edit with ...

Re: HXR MC2000 Gain issues

Hi Doughie, Many thanks for your response. I am going to give this a bash tonight and see what goes with this. It is shocking that gain can be programmed to go to 21db and upwards. Guy's, what is the best program that you guys use for Noise reduction in post production? The main one i know of is Ne...

Re: HXR MC2000 Gain issues

Although if you set the cam to LOW LUX mode, the Shutter will default to 25 rather than 50. I myself am a fan of reducing shutter-speed to 1/25th (PAL area cams) if its necessary to do so. Reducing shutter-speed from 1/50th to 1/25th will allow you to use 6dB LESS gain and that will reduce image no...

Re: HDR-HC1E display problem

yes i remember the HC1 being released globally in around Summer 2005 if i remember correctly. Its really quite an old machine now. I have a similar Sony model, (bought in 2005, kinda like the HC1's predecessor but in Standard-Def) and eventually the LCD screen did fail on that machine, and also simi...
