  • The problem comes when you choose to playback a tape (for review) and then continue recording further on the same tape.

    If you accidentally play “too far” (past the end of the recorded section of tape) during a review, the timecode will RESET as soon as the TC “runs out” on playback.

    If you then go back into record (at that point on the tape), the TC will start at 00:00:00 again.

    To avoid this, always (ALWAYS) record WELL PAST the end of your last “good section” during a recorded take.
    Then “mark” the “end” by saying “STOP – STOP – STOP” or “END – END – END” or similar.
    Then, when you review, make SURE you PAUSE the camcorder before the end of this “mark”.
    That way, you won’t be rolling past the end of the TC.
    Only THEN, switch the camera from “VCR” (Playback) mode into the “Camcorder” (Record) mode and continue on.

    The first question that comes to mind is why would you need to “archive” the CD’s?

    They are already on a small high-quality digital long-term medium.

  • What kind of DECK do you have?

    What kind of deck CONTROL do you have?

  • [Bret Williams] “I really can’t understand why people are using quicktime and itunes any more up rez their audio files. It is an extra step.”

    I MUST do it for mp3 files, of course.

    But the reason I convert CD tracks in iTunes is that I have several “music libraries” that I edit with.
    We all know how much TIME searching for the “right track” can take, so when I find a GOOD ONE, many times, I’ll want to re-use the same cuts I’ve used before, in subsequent projects.

    Since I converted the track to a 48 kHz file the first time I used it (and just kept the new file on one of my connected HD’s) I don’t need to load the CD in the Mac, or even need to up-convert it on the FCP timeline, the next time I want to use that track.

    This one’s a popular choice, too.

    I’ve seen SmartScale/pxl recommeded before.

    Here’s a link that tells how to do this kind of thing using on Photoshop CS.

    I’ve never tried it, but it might do the trick.

    [Peter Ralph] “a shure sm58, EV RE50, and EV635.”

    Those are fine mics for this… but you won’t ever get much better results when using this technique.

    Acoustical ambient pick-up of a sound system is a very poor choice if you want better sounding audio.

    I understand why you do it… (we’ve all HAD to do it many times)
    but since you’re asking how to IMPROVE it…
    its not really a different MIC that will “fix” it.
    the way to make it sound as good as possible, is by a direct connection to the audio mixer/amp that’s feeding the speakers.

    There are many ways to do this, and a few words here can’t cover them all.

    But that’s the direction you need to go if you want to get rid of that hollow room “PA speaker” sound in your audio track.

  • Try this:
    Apply the Video Filters > Blur > Gaussian Blur.

    Adjust the setting to 0.25 and keep adding “more” (up to 0.75 or even 2.0) as you observe the results.

    As images (moving or stills) are more “complex” they can “buzz”on the video screen.
    Adding the Gaussian Blur Filter can create an image that looks smoother.

    You need to RENDER the effect to view full quality on the external monitor.

    In FCP 5 set your video processing to “Best Quality” (It defaults to “Normal”).

  • Well, all of the attributes must be DURING the clip (they can’t come AFTER).

    You could make your clips one second longer than you need on-screen and “stagger” them on the video tracks.

    Vary the opacity to make them fade in and/or out.

    If you buy any recorder, make sure you get a unit with a MIC INPUT (many don’t have one.)
