flip on capture mini 35 adapter
Hey all, jus bringing up the point ( i dont know if there will be a solution..) that when I have used a mini 35 adapter in the past I have had to manually go and flip the footage for use in the final timeline.
I would love for apple to put a flip option on the capture dialogue who else has this annoyance?
Ok i know there are mini 35 adapters out there that use prisms to get the image back to how its meant to be but they are mega bucks when im sure a little tweak at the software end could do it and without loosing any of those precious Fstops!
I dunno if there is a clever programmer out there that recons he could do it?
Maybe we could ask for this feature on the next version of final cut??
Cheers all
Craig

what about using compressor to batch convert flip the footage?
yeah its another step, but it gets it done right? 🙂
I was amazed to find the other day that the filter to do this in final cut pro works in realtime.

I would think this would be handy but only for a handful of people, of the say 1 million FCP users I would think less then 1 percent would like this feature so it might be a hard sell. Log and capture/transfer pretty much does nothing to the footage right now, except for maybe changing the codec so I would not hold out much hope for this.
Like you said most systems now have a prism to fit this in the field.
I think want might be easier for a programmer would be to write some kind of Flip that can batch process the clips after capture and that way it would still have the TC and you have to render the clips in FCP.

What format are you shooting?

Have a look at my rotateClips. It uses XML to apply the flip/flop to all clips.

I shoot either mini-dv or dv-cam, thanks for all the responses its a good topic.
My only thng on prism’s is that they potentially loose more light… or am i wrong here?
