your cool, man.
You’ll be all good.
Taking this leap, as most leaps do, has resulted in more income, less hours and more happiness.
go for it, man -
the short answer is yes but having a real NTSC componant monitor and utilizing a waveforem monitor and vectorscope is the only way to know what you are sending out.

Hi Ryan.
I applaud your tenasity, man.
First, as mentioned, the ole website needs some pizzaz. Today, in many ways, that really is your demo reel. If it does not impress, the phone wont ring from it’s hits.
I would not put rates on your site. It paints you into a corner. You’ll find without having that restriction, you can grow your budgets on the fly, while negotiating sometimes.
Utilize your strength and that is youth. Advertise that you guys are young, hip and edgy. Put your personalities in everything you do from that site, to your cards to your appearence when dazzling clietele. Being middle aged and balding, I have to convence my new clientele how hip I am with samples of my work. With you guys, that can automaticly be assumed without even bustin’ out a reel.
Create some labors of love. If you keep shooting and editing weddings, you will naturally become a wedding videography house. Assuming this is not the goal, go shoot those things you really want to be getting paid to shoot. Be that music videos or shorts, you will not get these gigs if you have not done these gigs.
Above all, have fun. This is somthing that can be sensed over the phone, man. If you guys are having a blast, peopel will gravitate to you. If it’s a job, there is a place down the road where they have fun.
take care, man -
press T while rendering and it’ll give ya the estimated render time based on the frame it is on at that time.

you do know avid’s waveform shows 100ire at 80 right?

trust only your external scopes.
It’s a shame we still ahve to buy old scopes from the 80s but unless we move to a better brand… thats our only option.
You can find em on ebay for less than a grand. -
you’ll find they are the same. Literally.
symphony, MC and Xpress are from the same code. They just removed some features and offered a smaller price tag with xpress. Prolly why it has nobody on it’s development team.
More accuratly, when they killed Symphony and Media Composer for what they now call Symphony and Media composer, they just took their xpress software and hacked in some animatte, ect, charged waaay too much for and now spend their time shrugging as people ask what happened.
in short, you’ll be fine. -
My guess goes to this is the end.
I have seen no signs that point to their wanting to be around in the years to come. Putting sales managers as brand managers is a great step toward closing up shop and lieing to their customers ensures it.
With every new tie-wearer we have seen come and go at Avid, we have all gotten giddy, hoping this would be a turning point. The turning point happend 3 years ago and it will not be reversed.
I imagine we’ll have something with an Avid name on it next year and it will be offered on Adobe’s website. -
check you import settings. They are prolly on DV25.
