Thanks Chaps,

M is now A

You know “A” is not listed in the timeline shortcut keys help menu or at least I could not see it there?

May 23, 2007 at 6:25 am in reply to: Varicam into Premiere 2.0

Hi Chris,

We are trying to do almost the same thing at the moment. We have some Varicam footage 720p/60FPS which I want to edit on Premiere Pro 2.0. We have not tried to capture it directly into Premiere rather we captured the footage into FCP and then exported the file as a quicktime in the H.264 codec. This file format opens fine in premiere however I have a blackmagic (SD) card and so far have been editing it as a Motion JPEG 720p Varicam project. I am able to output from Premiere to a 1280 x 720 AVI file that will play on the computer via Windows media player and it looks great. I also have the Mainconcept Pro HD plug in for PP2 but have not had much luck with it on this particular task.

Do you know anyone with a Mac and FCP? Please let me know if you do have success as I would like to capture varicam footage directly into Premiere as well.

Good luck

George

May 1, 2007 at 7:54 am in reply to: underwater housing for Varicam

Hi,

I have a housing for the Varicam. Details are at http://www.coralseatv.com. I am in Sydney Australia though so it may not be practical!

I was just about to send a post anyhow asking if anyone else has used the Varicam underwater. As we have a big shoot coming up and I was trying to get some ideas about what mode to shoot in. I.e. video mode with the cine gamma or just straigh video mode. The final use will be the video projected at a marine education centre. We will probably shoot in 60p. The shot is in the sea and the housing is locked-off.

I did see a company in the US that make a housing for the Varicam. Just type in “Varicam underwater housing” on google and you might find them.

Hi,

Thanks for all the suggestions. I ended up buying some Edirol MA-10 amp/speakers. They are very styish and except analogue and digital inputs. They cost $275 Australian Dollars.

Thanks for the tips. I know I can’t improve on the orginal footage but it seems that DV footage holds up better once in the uncompressed realm especially on footage that requires heaps of effects and colour correction.
