Lionel,
It sounds like you’ve got a lot of hurdles to jump. Get through
this and you’ll probably get through anything, I expect.Advice: one of the key things Steve mentioned above is
the 24p issue. There are all kinds of issues about why 23.98 is
used instead of ‘true’ 24p. You’re AD/editor should have known this
at least. A great read is Wheeler’s ‘HD and 24p Cinematography’
https://www.amazon.co.uk/High-Definition-Cinematography-Paul-Wheeler/dp/0240516761/ref=sr_1_2/026-3569053-9837241?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1184940200&sr=8-2It’s very Bible-esque but ageing on a daily basis of course
(like us all). Red One, for example, was still embryonic at the time.Sareen has produced various podcasts about optimisation of batch
capturing in PPro. You might want to investigate F900 forums, too,
incase there’s anyone there with Adobe workflow knowledge. When
Sony were no use to us when we had problems with our XDCAM, it was
Australian XDCAM users in tiny forum tucked away somewhere who
came to the rescue.Darren.

This is puzzling… Why was a top-end HD
camera used on a project with so many
production/post-production holes in it?Is this a test, of us?

For what it’s worth, the cheapest price I found for
our latest PPro editing keyboard w/shuttle controller

Edit: Final Cut is no different.

Re auto-save: you can turn this off, of course.
What I’d like to see is improved VOB support. We
(based in the UK) have began to receive DVDs from
US clients which have been recorded/encoded in all
kinds of funky NTSC’y ways.I would also like to see the day where, if a HD
job comes in, or something equally potentially
problematic, we don’t automatically turn on the
G5s – I abhor most Apple GUIs, and Final Cut is
now different. Motion’s GUI is (still) a mess.Speaking of which, is it possible to unglue the
palettes/windows in PPro2, like AE7, by right-clicking
the top-right arrow? I had a quick go the other day
and it seems like you can’t. A stupid concept to
being with.Darren.

As Emmett mentioned, sorry.

We covered this – albeit slightly – recently.
As Willie mentioned, the mic itself is a contributory
factor. When it comes to ‘warming’ the voice, a good
mic can make all the difference. We use Shure SM58s
for most things – they’re a condenser mic, wonderfully
cheap ( -
That’s a nice find – cheers.
Would have prefered PAL, though. 😉D.

I think the H.264 codec (or similar) is available
for PPro’s Media Encoder soon, now that PPro’s ‘back
on the Mac’ blablabla. I can easily achieve similar
H.264 quality results (with smaller file sizes) using
Media Encoder’s WMV codec, though, even HD.D.

an otherwise simply-just-abstract 16mm
music video zing!
