The answer to this probably depends on your editing software. What are you editing on?
Most nonlinear editing programs now are pretty good at being able to handle various camera settings in the same timeline.
My best guess is that matching bit rate isn’t a big deal, but mixing interlaced and progressive might be noticeable in the final product.

Michelle, I hope I’m wrong but I don’t think you can. The only way the I know of is to send the card off to an expensive data recovery place. PLEASE HEED THIS ADVICE: from my experience this WILL happen again with your NX5u. Get the flash memory hard drive for your camera. I’ve had multiple occasions over the last few years where I’ve lost the data on the memory card, but everything remained on that external hard drive perfectly.

Sherman, great work around and thank you very much for sharing.
If I may, I would like to offer another option that may or may not work in all cases, but I have had good success with this.
Turn the camera off, move the zoom ring and focus ring back and forth, and then turn the camera back on. If we’re talking about the same problem then this should “get it back on track” and be good to go.
Hope it helps!

John, isn’t that the case only when recording in SD?
Maybe I just don’t realize it because I don’t typically look at the individual files the camera records. I just log and capture (FCP7) immediately and don’t have any issues.

Dean, if the studios can convert the footage themselves then just send the files that are on the memory cards. Have you tried this? Connect your camera to the computer but don’t open FCP. The computer should read your camera (or card reader) like any other external device. Click and drag the folders from the memory card to a folder on your computer or other external drive. Hope it helps.

You cannot change lenses on the NX5U. The lenses that came with your camera are most like attachments that screw on to the front of the existing lens.

Patrick, that wasnt very nice. There’s no need for comments like that in a forum. Michael took his time to respond and offer a suggestion for help. That should be respected and appreciated. Know why you wrote what you did. Agreed, a sense of sarcasm could have been detected in his post. But nevertheless, he put more time and thought into his post than you did yours.

The JVC cameras record in a format that FCP can edit natively without transcoding don’t they? I forget offhand exactly which camera does for sure, but check them out on B&H. The one I considered was a tad pricy but a very good camera. In the 6-7000 dollar range I believe.

Great information as always John. Thank you.

Forgive me for asking, but how do you update the camera? I got mine over 2 years ago. Is this something I should do?
