    Ah smart, didn’t occur to me to just give them the BPAV’S and let them watch it in clip browser. Wanted to give them the smallest files possible without the rendering time of outputting to another format. If you were to output though, what format would you give clients who only have Quicktime player?
    A side note, the Mac couldn’t play an SD uncompressed QT, is that another feature not available without FCP?
    Thanks

  • Any chance of a 24fps conversion to XDCAM 1080P?

    I heard something about that from Abel Cinetech. The idea being to put the 5D or 7D guts into a proper video camera. No idea when.
    Gonna make my Sony EX1 obsolete.

  • These are great, thanks for putting them out there. Stupid question: how do I import them into Compressor as Custom Settings? Thought draging and dropping would do it but no dice.
    Thanks

    BTW I picked up a 4TB Drobo to back everything up. So far so good.

    Gotcha. What’s CRC?
    I have a file that somehow is out of it’s BPAV folder (it’s from a 2nd camera on a shoot, someone else did the download) that I can’t get Transfer to process. I know it’s there, I’ve used VLC player to watch the footage. Any reco’s on how to restore it?
    The card is long since erased.
    Thanks

    I’ve been dragging and dropping BPAV’s since I got the camera 6 months ago, no issues so far.
    Not sure I understood the wording of your post; you use Clip Browser to import footage from the SxS to your external HD? Details regarding your workflow are appreciated.
    Thanks

    No GPS in the car, the shotgun was hard wired. I think I even tried using the on camera mic and got the same thing. But, whenever I’ve been tethered to a soundguy’s set up everything has been fine.
    The dealer I bought the equipment from in NYC mentioned I might “need the mic grounded” which sounded kind of odd to me. Wouldn’t that be something built into the camera, mics etc at the factory?

    Other issues have been using the G2 wireless and Rode shotgun driving in the middle of the night through a desolate stretch of Long Island (they do still exist apparently) and after about 20 minutes getting a rhythmic pulse of static on the shotgun signal. This was before I had an iPhone but it sounded a lot like the interference I’ve heard from that. Car radio was off, no other RF that I can think of.
    Another example was using my Rode as a boom mic armed in over a guy for a talking head kind of thing. The level just progressively died until I barely got anything, including when the interviewee was thrashing on his electric guitar which blew the other mics out. Tested the AA battery and its fine.mics out. Tested the AA battery and its fine.
    Do channels 1 and 2 on the EX1 correspond to Audio tracks 1 and 2 in FCP once you’ve begun editing?
    True about crew size, but I’ve checked audio going into the camera from the sound guy and it’s always way better than what I get
