This will depend on your client. I’ve seen some clients ask for HD and found out they wanted HDV at very low budget.
My biggest roadblock has been clients that want tape for archiving. They refuse to accept card based recording. This is especially true with History & Discovery networks. I’ve been forced to use F900 or HDX900 at much greater cost to the client because of the network requirement to archive all materials on tape. SOME production companies will archive to tape after the shoot but most do not want to mess with all that. A one hour show can have 30 hours of material. That is a lot of work to transfer all that material to tape after the fact. Someday the networks will get up to speed with a good archival solution; but until then, tape is still king. -
Sounds like an issue with the wireless system.
Try asking the question on the audio forum. -
Here is the answer Adobe gave…
“The Media Browser does not display the metadata for files, simply its
filename and location. If you would like to be able to easily
differentiate between your files in the Media Browser you will need to
change the filename rather than adding a name in the metadata for the
file.”What will I be getting into if I change the filename?

nobody use premiere and the EX cameras?

drag and drop is unsafe…I assume it bypasses the crc checks?
copy/paste individual, selected or all clips will use the crc; assuming crc is selected in preferences?
Just want to clarify all this

shouldn’t I be seeing the bpav folder in the destination drive after doing a “copy all”? I don’t.
What is the purpose of checking “convert in mxf for copying ex…” in the preferences?
If I copy some clips from card to hard drive then shoot more clips on the same card, how do I transfer the additional clips to the same hard drive/same folder?
Thanks

You could consider the SDHC card solution. The Transcend 16gb class 6 cards cost under $50, closer to $40 and when you buy a big quantity, I’d think you can make a better deal. Less than some HD tape solutions altho more than HDV. Give each camera enough cards to shoot without transferring to a hard drive. Saves the process of doing that during difficult conditions and saves space. You would not need external hard drives or a laptop. Take 4 of the MxR adapter cards and a lot of SDHC cards.
There are counterfit SDHC cards out there. Make sure you buy from a mainstream seller like newegg or amazon (directly, not a 3rd party). -
there is a pc version and a mac version. In talking to adobe premiere sales support, they told me there would be a difference in performance on a mac with the native mac version over the pc/bootcamp version. I have no experience to back up their claim…
They no longer send out one set of discs with both versions, you have to choose pc or mac

are you confident you got real transcend class 6 cards?
There are counterfit cards going around from 3rd party re-sellers and on e-bay.
Go here to check the cards…

As I understand it, the supplied lens adapter does not provide any connections to the electronics. Fuji makes an adapter that has a connector to jump the camera to b-4 mount lenses. It costs over $1500.
