Thanks!

… eh … and one more thing: -;)
… it was the “musicvideo” aspect of things that made me suggest the othwer route.- But probably he can get a finished 48k mix directly from the producer from a 24 or 32 bit master. That’s gonna sound better than the CD rip in most cases.
Cheers!

Like with all transcoding questions. That depends.
Quicktime adds a lot of dithering noise in the samplerateconversion, and iTunes will, too as it uses the same engine.That said: I happily use this route a lot myself for convenience. And I don’t say it is bad, just that there are better ways.
But I guess that when it has been ok to work with an mp3, you’re right all the way.
Cheers!

Rip it with quicktime as an 44.1 khz AIFF (16-bit) (not iTunes) and upsample to 48k with QT if you don’t have any other tools.
Peak is accordind to some tests I’ve seen the cleanest samplerateconverter as far as adding dithering noise etc. That is the newest Peak that does not come as a free version with earlier versions of FCP.
Much cleaner than QT and even dedicated software like Wavelab (PC)Gunleik

Yes, I guess this is the way to go.
Just now I’m struggeling with a shoot we did with a (very friendly and helpfull) Pana-rep.
Wouldn’t the p50 from decklink work?

They do sell a “black box” universal converter (about 25.000$)and you can either capture through HD-SDI to 1080i50 or capture at 60 fps and manually remove the unwanted frames … -;)) (Basically jokin’ on this one)
But I wondered wether there were any native options…
And yes: This is a problem in PAL-land…
But the camera is just sooo beautifull.
Supposedly FCP is supposed to get some p25 capture preset in v6.
But to anyone familiar with cinematools: Is it programmeable to different pulldownpatterns?
Just pondering here -;)
Or maybe some Automator script with the Black Magic “View quicktime files as single frames” software.

Thanks again!
So, in effect – if you know your way around the camera, you can achieve some of this – which already is pretty neato.

Thanks again!
If I may: One more question about exposure.
On the VariCam you can adjust exposure manually to a given percentage (find some skin and set it at 40 instead of 70% because of the gamma curves). This effectively leaves the zebra settings more or less unuseable.
Does the HVX have a similar function? (Setting exposure manually in 1% steps)
Gunleik
(Who’ dying to play some with the VC or VC like setups…) -
Sure. Just set your export settings and off you go.

Thanks a lot!
[Barry Green] “And the knee is adjustable in six of them.”
Good. Could you elaborate some?
Having had my first look at the Varicam I sorta came out with this whole idea of “compressing” info in the image (as in not burning out/underexposing difficult images more or less like a music compressor)as by far the most fun part of the VC.
