HD Workflow.
Can anyone suggest a modest HD setup?
A lot of my peers all use FCP with a HDV Z1.
But I understand, if I got the latest M100, I still couldn’t use HDV. =P
Are there any relatively cheap HD solutions that work with M100?
I know HDV is just a codec/DV format, but its got the resolution to impress clients, and allow a tenuous claim to being HD-ready. =P
Or what sort of cameras do you people use, and what would be the best choice when upgrading?
Am currently using a PD150 with M100i 7.5 running on G4s.
Looking to upgrade in about six months to a year’s time.
Low budget. 😉 -

Or I guess I could just have FCP on the same system, and import digitised footage from there into M100, and then back out again if need be, via FCP?
I know you’ve got the Convergent Design thingie…but had feared it was just one-way. And it’s a bit pricey too. =P

What type of computer are you looking at getting? What type of drives? If you’re going to NAB stop by our booth and we can discuss your options.

Probably looking at a G5 or an Intel Mac Pro.
Would love to get a MacBook Pro, M100 Producer, and a Z1, but, since HDV isn’t yet ready via firewire, I doubt that’s a reasonable workflow. Although I could use my existing PD150 with M100 Producer and a Macbook Pro, I guess.Storage wise, not decided, but despite HD aspirations, I’ll probably just start off with Firewire drives for SD.
I guess I started this thread really, to see what cameras people were using for HD, that worked well with M100. So that if I didn’t go for a Z1, what other options were there? Like, I heard a lot about P2, via M100’s press releases boasting compatibility. Would a P2 camera be better?
Just wondered what setups people currently had.
To be honest, atm, even a Z1 is ambitious budget wise for me. ^_^ If I had that sort of money, I’d probably get a M100 HDe….lol. But, I have rented a Z1 for specific jobs on two occaisions already, so it’s still a nice idea. =)
I guess to really simplify this thread though – I’m mostly asking what M100 setups people currently have, and which cameras they use in conjunction with it, and how well they work with M100.
As for NAB – am based in the UK, and a bit broke atm, so unlikely to fly over anytime soon. ^_^
But since winning second place in the Best of Boris competition (yay!), I’ve been thinking about what hardware I need to save up for, in order to run my free software prize. =PPlus I get a new job in the next few weeks, so should finally start receiving an income. =P
