Adobe is correct. There is no capability for viewing your footage during capture. An alternative is to use the free HDVSplit, that also allows scene detection but no preview either.

Bart,
Thanks for your comments. For a large part I agree with you, but remember this is still a work in progress. Ultimately it will have a voice over from a very well known Dutch TV personality, so the background music will be adjusted accordingly. This is planned around September or October.
You touched on another dilemma I have, more CU shots. This was a sailing trip with a group of 55+ people and the intended viewers are youth around 20+. They are not much interested in balding or grey haired people with pot bellies. Let alone the possible problems with getting their agreement to publish their shots in this clip.
I had no (under)water housing for the Z1, apart from it being very impractical or even impossible to launch the tender while sailing with speeds of around 11 knots under 1000 square meters of sail (bezaan, grootzeil, schoenerzeil, boomfok, binnenkluiver en buitenkluiver), getting safely on board the tender, filming around the ship and getting back on board and getting the tender back on the ship. There was no way to achieve that, for instance during the 30+ hours of continuous sailing from Virgin Gorda to Saba. During the day we had wind of 5-6 Bft that increased during the night (hondenwacht) to around 7-8 Bft and food being brought up to the bridge was frequently blown off the ship. It was interesting to see the ship, at least in the forward compartment, move around 15 meters or 45 feet up and down between waves while sailing with a 25-30 degree tilt. Even the ship’s physician got seasick.

Don’t use partitions, use physical disks, so get another HD.

No problem, it shows no difference to internal raid arrays in terms of speed. The only difference is that the SATA cables are used externally, not inside the case.

That’s the way to go.

Thanks Perry.
I added some short scenes to get a more humanizing touch to it, more people in action, took into consideration Jon’s remarks and ended up with a slightly less tight clip I think.

With regards to getting bored, let me explain the many shots on the route from Virgin Gorda to Saba. Keep in mind that this is a pretty big sailing ship, nearly 200 feet long, and during the day with only 5-6 Beaufort it already heaved and stamped quite a bit, causing seasickness amongst quite a number of people, including the ship’s physician. During the night the wind increased to 7 Beaufort while we were sailing with over 1000 square meters of sail, a bit much at the time. People, trying to sleep in the forward compartment had a difficult time with the ship stamping more than 45 feet. Using this fact in the voice over requires some length in the shots. Hence the somewhat repeating shots.

Look under preferences.

You must be unique. Never had that problem with the VX or PD models, nor the H1, Z1 and various other cameras.

1. No tripod. There was hardly any possibility to use that on board and no possibility to carry it along to shore on the tender. I’ll have a look at stabilizing filters.
2. For someone that does not like sailing or has never experienced a trip like this I can imagine it gets boring without a good voice over. I even had people tell me to reduce it to 1 minute maximum (also a non-sailor) and I have had several (some of them sailors) say that it was too short.
Thanks for your comments and the remarks about getting boring, I will certainly look at that after the voice over, when I can adjust the flow.
