  • shoot HD & small wmv at the same time?

    Posted by Scott Hancock on September 28, 2012 at 2:13 am

    We often have to document long presentations, meetings, or all-day events and usually use our EX-1 at full resolution so we have the best master possible. However, clients usually want to get manageable sized, window timecoded WMV files for their review.

    Does anyone know if there is a way to make such time-coded WMV in real time so we don’t have the time consuming process of converting afterwards?

    WMV is preferred because it’s the only 100% compatible format for corporate PC environments.

    Thanks for any ideas.

    If you are on a Mac, you want to get ProxyMill from Imagine Products.
    All the client needs to do is install the latest version of QuickTime to solve compatibility problems.

    Thank you for the suggestion, Steve.
    Unfortunately, it doesn’t work for our case because in large corporate evironments, people cannot install anything on their company PC. It’s very restricted by their IT department. This is why we need to deliver their preview files on WMV. It’s the only video format that works for everyone in the client company.it also seems most reliable for embedding in PowoerPoint.

    Thanks again,
    Scott

    A fast laptop with a tap off your camera and a SSD or RAID external drive, running this:

    might work for you.
