16:9

[Noah Kadner]

The DVX100 A and B both offer a squeeze mode which produces digitally squeezed anamorphic footage at about 30% less sharpness than the optical adapter. Though of course you have one less piece of glass and less light loss so it’s a good deal. The 4:3 letterbox setting simply mattes black bars onto the top and bottom of the screen- which is easily done in post.

thanks,

one other question… 24p with this camera comes by just switching to the f6 mode in the scene file? or should i go into the menu and change it

thanks in advance

thank you

[Noah Kadner]

Either- the F selector is for scene presets which you can customize. Might wanna get this:

forgive the questions…

i am terribly confused. want to shoot 16:9 with dvx 100b… do i get that with squeeze or letterbox

thanks and i am getting the dvd

[Noah Kadner]

Squeeze= closest to 16:9 anamorphic.

Letterbox= 4:3 letterbox

You want squeeze.

have you ever tried to use a mini dv camera as your record source… i am in a bit of jam and would like to use a camera that i don’t use for shooting to capture a project in final cut… just asking, thanks

thank you

[Noah Kadner]

Sure- most FCP-compatible DV cameras and decks can be used as a capture device.

ok, just want to be sure… i want to print out a finished project onto a cheap consumer mini dv camera… can i do this?

thanks,

by the way i ordered the dvd you suggested hopefullly it helps

thank you

[Noah Kadner]

Yes- as long as its compatible with Final Cut Pro. There are a few super old and cheapie Canons and Samsung DV cameras for example that FCP doesn’t seem to recognize but in general most cameras will. I use a Sony DSR-11 DVCAM deck for all my ingest and playout. And thanks for the order. 🙂
