I am concerned with grip tape being too agressive with the door.
Velcro wouldn’t really seal the door tight.
I’m thinking of looking around for another tape that isn’t as agressive as grip tape.

Another idea I have is to add some more grip tape to the sticky side of the main piece of tape so the tape will not stick to the door itself but only to the body around it where the seal is needed.

Film magazines have been taped for years to keep dirt & dust out. Camera tape is pretty much the same thing as grip tape only in 1″.

Where did you find Transcend 16G for $30?? I found them for $38.

Be aware that there are counterfit SD cards out there. Make sure you are buying from a reputable dealer. The counterfit cards work but are not fast enough to work with the high data rates of video.

Ralph posted that a 32g card would hold 4 hours. I think a 16g card holds 54 minutes so a 32 should hold just under 2 hours.

For smaller scale archiving, will backing up to Blu-ray DVD work?

“wireless transmitters for timecode”?

Can you elaborate please? Are we talking simple G2 wireless or a specific timecode wireless system?

Thanks

Is the mxf wrapping just an issue of time or is there more about it that you don’t like?

How long does it take to wrap a 16g card full of clips?

Here’s where I’m at so far…
Premier Pro seems to be a system hog and on a laptop that might be an issue. I will never use After Effects and doubtful I’ll do much with Photoshop. I do have an older version of photoshop. I am definately not graphics oriented. If I need something fancy, I’ll farm that out.

So the question becomes Edius vs. Vegas.

Vegas seems to have more features but is ‘different’ in the way things are done. I can’t really see that but I don’t have a long history of cutting on anything else. Some minor experience with premiere pro. I should be able to adapt?

Edius is ‘faster’. Not sure exactly how compared to Vegas. Edius seems to have less features than Vegas.

So unless I find that the ‘faster’ capability is worth it to me, I’m leaning towards Vegas. My projects will be no longer than 10 minutes and they will be fairly simple. Some flips or wipes or other transitions, titles, audio and picture. Plus DVD authoring which Edius does not have.

Thanks all so far…

thanks Mike

That was a pretty darn good comparo. I wish they had even more details…I’m greedy!

I’m leaning towards Vegas

[Ed Kukla]

Regarding the included effects. I read that Vegas will have more but will likely need to render them. Not a big deal, I won’t be doing a lot of effects.

I don’t think I need the ultra fast capability that news might need.

I’d love to see a comparison chart of features among all these programs.

I think I read somewhere that Vegas has more support for input and output of all the EX file types. I think Edius doesn’t support 1080P?
This is the sort of stuff a side by side comparo would be helpful.

thanks Tim
