Thank you all for your response. I have quickly abandoned the idea of a multi-camera live shoot (for now). Because I don’t have access to the second camera. I recently purchased a Sony HVR-HD1000U and actually was able to shoot a live event to the clients hard drive. They did not want any editing so I just connected it to my iMac (which I brought along, NEVER AGAIN!) and shot it straight to FCP and set the scratch disks to a folder on their hard drive. It worked out pretty smoothly and I think when I get a laptop I will do it more often.
In regards to the last post. I get my gigs from craigslist.org and on successful gigs I almost always get call backs from former clients. I also recently signed on to a wedding planning company and I am working with them this coming wedding season. Craigslist is a decent place to look for work. You just have to be wary of the people you work with. A lot of people tend to screw you out of money very very quickly. Very few people are paying anymore. But, I’m building quite a resume and bring it to bigger companies.

Ok. Let’s b a little more specific. I’m trying to film an event live and immediately offer a DVD. In essence I am trying to shoot a live event using multiple angles directly to my computer like a live TV broadcast and edit from there. Using a switcher or a program to switch from camera angle to camera angle.

I want to film a live event and offer the client DVD copies. I’ve been doing this for awhile now. But, I am transitioning into 2 or more cameras and I just started editing my first event and its a pain. I was wondering if it was possible and what would I need. I know a switcher and probably a couple monitors, etc.
The kind of events I have shot are like Fashion Shows and little Award Shows, Music Videos etc.

What are the best settings to use for a fast conversion for these files? I’ve tried but they take forever. It won’t even give me an estimated time to finish.
