I do white balance every time, and i do black balance sometimes.
I’ve always white balanced off of gray on my lasts camera which was a sony vx-1000 and that was always the best results but that was also a very different camera.
Do you Black Balance every time?
Well i never have exposure problems, just color problems i have a 18 percent grey card but not a white card. (side note, is it better to white balance from Grey or White on the hpx170?) For an example i’ll be on location and the grays look natural in camera and everything is looking solid but i’ll get home to log the footage and the grays look very orange- ish and magenta – ish. For this example i may have had my chroma phase to high so i’m sure its just user errors but it troubles me that viewfinder is so different from the actual image. Have you ever had that issue with the camera?
Sorry for the very beginner questions, But is it a problem to run a set of Two R series, And then a set of two E series once those are full? Or is it important to stick with one series all the time?
Well, I’m not really trying to go the 4k route. I’m working on a project thats going to be shot in 720, 60p, to be honest i want to find a larger style camcorder that can work well with Canon Dslr footage
Thanks! i’m still learning about the hvx and dvc pro hd. I got my problem solved. I had attempted what you had said before i made this post but i over looked a small detail it would open in Vegas in the incorrect aspect ratio, My mistake was i trying to fix the issue with the pan crop and the frame size, rather than simply right clicking and un-checking the maintain aspect ratio box in the clips properties.
Thanks again for you help!!
