Hi Oliver,

Thank you so much for your detailed reply! Yes, I am using Mac. My timeline will be in HD 25 fps.
Besides, is resolution a problematic issue? It seems frame rate is more problematic after reading your replies.
As I mentioned before, some archival footages are in 720 x 576. Should I keep it in 720 x 576?

Many thanks,
Anna

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your advices! Yes, I don’t have much good memory with FCP7 too.
You mentioned to use Premiere Pro CC 2015.4 or 2015.3. But how to reinstall the previous versions?
Thank you!

Best regards,
Anna

Hi Chris,

Thanks very much! I do have footages shot with mobile phones.
Which codec would you recommend for unifying all footages in different formats? I have put this question to Oliver too.
Hope you can help too. Thank you!

Best regards,
Anna

Hi Oliver,

Thanks very much for your prompt reply. After listening to the advice from you and other friends, I will transcode all the footages. Most likely, I will use Premiere Pro CC. Which codec would you recommend? The footages are in wide range of formats. Some archival footages are still in DV tapes (Resolution 720×576) and some are interlaced video. The new footages are shot in HD with Sony A7II. Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Anna

Thank Brian for your experience! Richard mentioned about the attenuating cable connecting the SD744T and Sony ECM-W1M transmitter. Which cable did you use? Any ready-made option? Besides, about the time delay, is it constant? Or it varies with locations? Many thanks for both of you!

Thanks Richard for your answer!

Since we mostly make documentaries, we try to make ourselves as invisible as possible during filming. Therefore we avoid using hand claps. I am not sure if it is a good practice. Maybe you can share your experience with us.

The problem we are facing now is, we used to check sync with camera audio during post production. But some people challenge us that the camera audio may not be accurate to use as a guide track, particularly for the distant subjects. Therefore, we are designing some solutions to have a prefect guide track. Do you have any suggestion for this? Yes, the bluetooth transmission isn’t reliable enough.

Thousands thanks,
Anna
