Yesterday I played around with bringing iPhone footage into FCP decided a quick transcode made sense for editing in a mixed media project. If on the other had I were just editing iPhone clips (no other sources,)letting FCP just adapt the sequence to match the footage would seem logical, especially given the file size differences. If I recall my 50MB mpeg transcoded to about a 500MB Apple ProRes SD. Playback on my external NTSC display didn’t work without a transcode, instead I just got the playhead frame. Rendering would of course work, but then you’d have to re-render constantly.

So I’d just need the DC cable with the OEM charger to power the camera with AC power? What was this about a plate or something? Can someone clarify? Here’s a link to the cord, alone, is this all I need?

I found what I was looking for, chamois swabs and 99.9% Isopropyl.

What’s the best solution to use to do this, and what type of swaps? I think my heads are clogged. I’ve had to clean it every other time I use it lately and captures inconsistent.

You should bear in mind the cost of external HD monitoring which can run well into the $5-10k range. On the cheap, you could get yourself a decent HDMI 1080 capable display for under a grand and a Black Magic card for about $300.

This should be the first thing taught in videography 101, especially now that we’ve got people born in the digital age. One of the most baffling concepts for me to understand was why anyone would go to so much trouble (pulldown) to get a “film look.” What makes the film look so special? I’m not saying there’s no aesthetic quality- clearly there is or people wouldn’t go to the trouble, but it really helps to know the historical/cultural context of 24p rather than just taking it for granted. It’s awesome that we’ve got cameras that can do it for less than the cost of a Porshe, but I wonder how much of our love for the “film look” is a result of social conditioning. Basically, we associate video with cheap (and therefore poor) and film with high budget (and therefore quality) so before we even get past the titles we’re biased. Gotta go out and get a 24p cam and add instant quality! But you know what… call me a Pavlov’s dog but I’ll be damned if I don’t eat it up- hook line and sinker. I see 60i and the crap colored glasses snap into place immediately. It’ll be interesting to see what movies look like in 15 years.
