Hey George,
I am working on a feature film with your setup, and it is going well.
I tell you what I have, and consider it a poor man choice:Instead of buying a 4000$ JVC HD monitor, I would get a JVC deck, so you don`t ruin the camera capturing and exporting footage (JVC HD BR50) . The deck allows you to monitor hd material on a regular hdmi HDTV.
Of course you have to go back to tape with your clip in order to have HD footage on your HDTV.If you have a G5 new generation (with PCI express) you can always get a very inexpensive Blackmagic Intensity Card, it gives you the possibility to watch in real time your FCP timeline on the HDTV.
Keep in mind that we are shooting in HDV (it means a very very compressed format), so we cannot correct colors, selective colors and contrast that much.
It makes the choice of a HDMI TV a good monitor.HDTV = 400$
HD broadcast monito = 4000$ -
alright,
I promise I wont use shake for color correction! But definitely for fixing the up and down -
It sounds interesting.
How does the demo come?
Any watermark or aliens in the background? -
for same feature do you mean enlarge the image and play with the position of the subject or some shake`s special power tool?Not familiar with shake yet… but I have to get it anyway for color correction
-
It sounds cool.
Do you compress directly from HDV, or you export first the footage in a different format? -
Well, thank you guys so much…
now it is clear.
This is the very last question:I am familiar with vectorscopes and other color monitoring tools,
do you think I can try to perform a color correction just with the help of vectorscopes?
I don`t need to give any look at the footage, but I would like to find a safe luminance and saturation, in order to have the same results in different monitors or tvs, and off course change here and there the RGB balance. -
Some dvd players (desktop dvd players) wont read a 7mbits file… I am talking about the cheap ones that you buy for 30$, and most people have that.

Hi Russ,
thanks.Yes, I was thinking to get a monitor in order to be more precise.
I believe it has to be an HD broadcast monitor, right?How can I get a fire wire output through the deck?
Does it means that everything played in the timeline will be displayed in an external monitor through the deck? -
You can key the gray directly in final cut, using a chroma key filter. You might experience problems if the same gray is present in other elements of the scene…

I believe you are using Apple products.
In this case your best bet is Apple Compressor,
it has different preset of mpeg2 (DVD) compression, and since you have a 45 mins project you should look for a
“best dvd encoding 90mins” from your preset window.
Once Compressor has generated the file, you can easily import it in dvd studio pro.
