Thanks both.

Rafael Amador “First of all, make sure that you have QT.7 installed.
Check as well hat the sequence is set to render in High Precision.”

Yes, QT 7 is installed.

The render (within “Sequence Settings”, under the “Video Processing” tab) is set to “Render 10-bit material in high-precision YUV”. “Render all YUV material in high precision YUV” gives the same results.

Joseph Owens“May or may not be relevant, but is the .png set for the correct gamma?”

In regards to Gamma can you explain how I’d check the gamma settings of the png and also the ProRes files to see that they match?

Thanks.

One other question:

I often find quicktime to be deceiving when viewing DV and DVCAM stuff, in particular when judging motion.

How is quicktime on a macbook screen for accurately judging HD footage shot on the XDCAM EX1 (with an eye for motion/frame rate)? How does it compare with viewing on an HD monitor? My guess is you’re missing quite a bit viewing on quicktime as opposed to a monitor, but I wanted to see what others had to say.

This would be for footage in both 24p and 30p.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hey there. I will try to post the footage. At present, I’m on a very slow internet connection so it may take a while or not be possible.

I don’t have side by side comparisons of the HVX200 and XDCAM EX1 shooting the same thing. But I do have footage from both cameras in true 24p, where subjects (and my handheld work) are doing the same kind of motion with different results.

I will post if I can.

Thank you very much!

By the way,

Would exporting a HQ 1080 24p clip to a 29.97 format constitute as a proper pull down test?

Or is their a simpler way?

Thanks!

Hey Guys,

Thanks once again for taking the time to help!

Craig, in reference to the pulldown you said “some don’t do this well at all”. Can you explain further?

On the HVX200 we were working in 24pn and I was satisfied. Are there any settings that I can work with on the XDCAM EX1 that will calm the stutter down (save for the shutter setting cause it’s already wide open)? 30p is just a bit too fluid for me.

All the best,

Hey Steve,

Thank you.

When you say reduce the detail level, do you mean working in HQ 720 as opposed to HQ 1080?

Also, I guess in general what I meant is that I like the look of 24p motion, just not thus far on this camera and I was hoping to find a way to achieve the same fluidity that I found on the HVX200.

Thanks again for your response.

I am definitely also interested in hearing from others.

Best,
-Hoku

Thanks for the advice and the links! I’ll research more on those drives.

Also, I learned that in addition to the Seagate FreeAgent Desk (1 TB), the production has also, thus far, purchased the Seagate FreeAgent Desktop (1 TB) hard drive.

If anyone has any experience with either of these drives I’d love to hear how you felt the drive performed, how reliable it was and any other thoughts you may have on it.

Thanks!
