Thanks for the links guys, based on the Morning Light article it sounds like those wireless units have a short life when exposed to salt.
For what I have budget wise, wondering if maybe a Zoom H4N in a small Pelican case that I outfit to either mount on the Ikelite housing or wear over my shoulder with a sealed port for an XLR cable to a shotgun mike I’d also mount to the Ikelite is the answer. Of course I’d try to keep the shotgun out of the water by mounting it on top. The reality is I’d probably go through a bunch of them over the course of the shoot as well as having to replace XLR’s.
Sound like a bad idea? Not sure I want to trust the Zoom, especialy since I won’t be able to monitor itSony EX1

Is this any faster or better quality than converting to ProRess with MPEGstreamclip?

I’m looking for something that will work with my Canon and m Sony EX1.
I just used that Marshall with my 5D2 on a job, annoying that you can’t view the image full screen, unless I’m missing something. Makes it not much better for focus than the camera’s screen, and it snaps into that weird SD mode when you record.
Does the SmallHD have these issues?Sony EX1

After trying color stabalizer and a host of other techniques, simply using Auto Levels worked beautifully in taking the pulsating out of a monitor that was in shot. Simply masked the monitor and then applied the effect.
Done and done. Thanks so much
Problem now is the Quicktime I output from AE, which is the same codec etc as the original footage, crashes FCP when I put it in the sequence and barely plays in QTPro.
I’ve never had this problem before with the output from AE, this was a 25 minute take, but that shouldn’t matter.
Any ideas?Sony EX1

Color Stabilizer didn’t work for this for some reason, maybe because thee were no true whites on the screen? Anyway, I wound up just masking the monitor screen and applying Auto Levels which worked pretty damn well, smoothed out the pulsating nicely.

Hi Dave, yeah I’ve been working on it in AE with ok results using Color Stabilizer. If you have any tips or tricks for that let me know.
As far as a lesson, the only one I can deduce is that the screen (and eyepiece) on the JVC GY 100 blows- it’s the client’s camera not mine, thus using it as B camera. I’ve done these PAL shoots for a while now without any problems as I religiously check for this sort of thing and saw nothing of the sort until I loaded the footage.

Thanks David, I wish I could do something like that to dress up the footage but it’s not that kind of project. As far as the output, I just checked and somehow the file is now Animation, went from 6Gb file to 176GB! No wonder I can’t play it.
How do I change that?Sony EX1

Thanks for the dig but it wasn’t poor planning it was a piece of crap monitor on a camera that belonged to the client. If you can’t address the technical question I’m asking please stop posting
