  Mixing Video Formats In Sony, & Multi-Preview Screens ?

  Posted by Jim Lillis on October 24, 2011 at 2:22 pm

  Hello again,

  I’m looking for some input and solutions to a problem (I think it is a problem) that shows up in the preview screen when I intermix video formats.

  I shot an even with 3 standalone SD cams. Footage is fine and looking great for what it is. I then had to return to the scene to pick up some B Roll footage and grabbed a small HD cam to acquire it.

  What’s showing up on the “Preview Screen” is a plain RED color, not the video that’s been dropped into the timeline. I know the footage is there, but it’s not showing up in the preview screen when screening the edits.

  Format size problem?
  Interlace problem, (full 1080-P footage)
  or will the footage render fine and it’s just a preview screen problem?

  Also, I’ve seen Sony displayed with 2 (or multiple) preview screens on advertising vids, and I can’t for whatever reason seem to find the place to make that happen on my system.

  Thanks for any help or directions you can offer.

  JL

  If it moves . . . Shoot it!
