Adding a second high-end camera
I’m looking for a little help.
I currently own a nice Sony VX2000 and I’m editing in Premeire, Premiere Pro and After Effects.
I’m ready to add a second high-end camera to our video shoots and I’ve been coveting the Panasonic DVX100A and the Sony HDR-FX1 HDV.
I’m concerned about these editing from these different formats/frame rates and weather I may just not be able to combine footage shot on my VX2000 (30f) with the DVX100A (24f) or the HDR (HD).
Just looking for info on what porblems I may encounter.
Thanks

All three cams will shoot 60i, the VX only does 60i, why would you shoot in 24p on another cam and try to mix them?

Well, I would like to shoot in 24P to get as close to the film look as possible without actually shooting on film. That’s the whole draw of the Panasonic 24P. The only reason I would combine them is because I already own the VX2000 and would obviously still want/need to use it. All our shoots require a minumum of 2 cameras and sometimes 3.
Here’s an exmaple of what we’re doing:
You can see how we utilize two and three different angles on each shoot (one cam in the tow-boat, one in a chase boat, sometimes another on a fixed location) and I’d have to be able to edit all source footage together in the same Premiere project.

Are you shooting for film or video? if sd video shoot in 60i, and add touches to look like film in post.
