Use the 31 band eq and roll off highs and lows, boost mids. make it look like this. ) -
Did you try trashing the waveform and thumbnail cache as Walter suggested?

You can go straight to the camera with boom and lav. The main problem with that is who is going to monitor the level? While you are holding the camera up to your eye and the subject starts talking louder will you be able to adjust the input level at the camera? (doubtful). If you are having someone hold a boom why not get a competent audio guy that can also carry a 2 or 3 channel field mixer around and monitor the levels for you. Documetary’s are usually a one take deal and if the audio is distorted or too low then the piece is pretty useless.

[Mikey] “As far as they know, there is no way for them to open an OMF, EDL or even AAF.”
Get another sound house. If they don’t know this, then they dont really know post sound.

Are you looking at this on an NTSC monitor or your computer screen?

[david Saraceno] “The manual says it is the record button which is part of or adjacent to the on/off switch.”
That would be referring to the red button in the middle of the on/off switch would it not?

[javamikey] “All I’m saying is that the P2 Store doesn’t like either of my Apple computers as perhaps it should. And we had a whole group of folks feverishly seeking to resolve it.”
Why is it this problem occured during the shoot but not during the testing at the rental facility?

[javamikey] “lease note that I sent the camera team to the rental house a week prior to the shoot to learn the system. It’s not like we just picked it up one day and didn’t ask questions. I had the DP on a movie prior to this and he did a good job”
I think you missed Gary’s point. Sending the DP to the rental house a week prior to the shoot to “ask questions” still doesn’t compare to getting the equipment early and actually TESTING your work flow! The nominal rental fee you would have paid to get the equipment a few days early could have potentially saved you thousands of dollars. Sorry to hear you had to shut down production but instead of blaming your misfortune on a new and untested workflow, perhaps you should take note of the advice given and be better prepared for next time. As Jan said there are people working this way with good results.

I predict panasonic will introduce a new P2 camera with three 2/3″ ccd’s, five p2 card slots and an SD card:-)
