Sony PMW-EX1

[Tony Sarafoski]

Sorry guys all cool I did some further forum searching and found that I needed XDCAM EX Clip Browsing Software V1.1

https://www.sony.co.uk/biz/view/ShowContent.action?site=biz_en_GB&contentId=1193315622075

Just converted the clips to xmf and sure enough, clips dropped straight on Vegas 7.0e timeline. Yeeppiiii…..

Ok now the only problem I’m seeing is, I’ve down converted the footage to SD 16×9 Widescreen and as I do a walk through my house, I notice like a jittering effect on horizontal line.

Whats that all about?

I’ve got a weird feeling I will be shoot down
😉

Ok what I did wrong was I dropped the 1920×1080 50i mxf file on a PAL DV Widescreen (720×576, 25.000 fps) project.

When I print to tape, the footage on my preview monitor jittered on horizontal lines.

So I restarted a new project: File/Properties/Template: and selected the HD 1080-50i (1920×1080, 25.000 fps) template.

I then placed the mxf files on the timeline and rendered them back out as PAL DV Widescreen AVI and you wont believe it, abracadabra perfect SD 16×9 AVIs with no jitter.

I think its getting late….!!!

We just got our first PMW-EX1 at the office (I’m the only one using Vegas 8, everyone else uses Final Cut 5) and the HD footage looks great. Unfortunately we have no way to give clients HD footage yet, and the DVD’s of it don’t really look better than the ones we made from our Sony DSR-300’s, with the exception that it is now widescreen which I love. Editing will be nicer when we get some widescreen monitors, but I think most of the money will have to go towards those memory cards for a while. Good riddance real-time digitizing!
