I intend to shoot 720p because I would like to use the footage in the next two years or so, that’s why I want to avoid shooting SD. I hope that NAB will see FCP 5.5 or even 6 with full DVCPRO HD support, but if understand well, today I won’t be able to use FCP when I shoot 720p in PAL?
Furthermore, what sound and light could I use with this camera. I am thinking of using a Sennheiser wireless G2-series (two transmitters, one for a handheld mic and one for a lavalier mic). I wonder if there’s space on the HVX200 to somehow attach the transmitters. And what about light? Should a use a torch with a seperate battery, or can I use the cam’s battery?
Once again: this is a vast topic, but I intend to post my experiences of next month on my website, so I can share the knowledge that I – hopefully – will have acquired at the end of May 2006. Thanks again.
