Hey John,
Could I instead convert just the music bed to 44.1 since it is the only file that is 48kHz? Then, when I export, could I not just set the audio to 44.1kHz?

Hey Shane,
I converted all files to ProRes 422 HQ. I re-checked all of them just to make sure I didn’t accidentally pull a native file into the time line. All of them are ProRes.

Mine was flashing bright red upon receiving Bill’s post. Thanks for your attempt at peacemaking Ty.

Bill Said: “I’m not going to beat this to death.”
Too late… you just did.
Sorry Bill, but I have to ask this question. Who or what broke your heart, shattering it to pieces, and how long ago was it that you still so ardently cling to the pain?

Hey Danny,
As usual, I love your passion. Good to see you posting your thoughts here on the C.C.. When we believe strongly in something, I believe it is our responsibility to stand and be counted. You are a stalwart. I am invigorated by your passion and refuse to accept Biill’s assumption that the 5D will only ever offer a ‘3’ out of ’10 where the audio is concerned. Funny thing: It is always proponents of the status quo (Biill) that inspire mavericks like ourselves to prove them wrong. Let’s aspire to a a 5D audio ‘8’ or a ‘9’ eh? “Damn the torpedos, full speed ahead.”

Hi Rodney,
Thanks for taking the time to provide perspective from the side of the argument that hopes for appreciatable atmospheric static electricity even if it doesn’t rise to the level of the all out lightening required of some of the creatives here at the C.C.. I watched the entire news report link you provided for viewing on the vimeo video engine and my opinion of the audio potential for the 5D has been strengthened.

Biill,
Biill said: “But ACCEPT that the camera is an Audio 3 and will NEVER be anything else, no matter how much you WISH it would be. The lightening struck in the Chip and in the Processor. There was NO lighting left to hit the beast’s Audio circuits. Sorry.”I have to tell you that I do appreciate the passion with which you explain the fluke that is the Canon series of DSLRs. As a wedding photographer for almost two decades, I expressed similar disdain when the digital world started to encroach upon the testosterone of my Bronica SQA. No one could tell me that anything digital could compare to the warmth and realism of my mediaum format film negative. As a teacher I would tell my students things that were eerily similar in tone to your thread comment. I find myself wondering how embarrassed I would be today were I to meet those same students.
Things changed Biill.
Let me know if I have this right. Based on your thoughtful analysis of my predicament, I am stuck with a camera that provides me Vista-Vision equivalent quality, and can purchase/own it all for what it would currently cost me to rent a PanaFlex Panavision camera for just one weekend. And worst case scenario, I can capture the sound separately similar to how the purists have done it for 80 or so years.
Biill, no apology necessary. I think I am in just the place I’d like to be. Here’s to lightening striking in the same place twice. Cheers.

That’s funny. I was unaware there was a pandora’s box phenomena relative to sound engineers. Ha ha ha.

Hey Brian,
Thanks for adding your voice to the discussion. I am familiar with that camera and I was a little disappointed that Panasonic didn’t achieve a full frame 35mm sensor like the 5D. While the camera does have redeeming value in the marketplace, it’s footprint is still quite large when compared to the 7D and 5D, which factored large in George Lucas’s decision to use Canon DSLRs for the airplane cockpit footage of his most recent feature endeavor.Ancillary:
Those people who purchase the Panasonic will have to live with their purchase and build the inevitable support gear list during their ownership period, in much the same way I am with my 5D and 7D. I am not in a position or of the mind to abandon these cameras for the Panasonic flavor du jour. With that in mind it is prudent I pursue the best support gear strategy for the equipment I currently own and have become quite familiar with. I can offer that having produced national commercials with various types of equipment, I and am very happy with the performance and results I am getting from the 5D and 7D. so I am not sure these Canons will become obsolete in the way most gear does.With that as a background, is there any help you can offer relative to my current needs?

Hi Ed,
Thanks for responding to my info vacuum.
RE:5D + ML
One of the features Magic Lantern offers that interests me is turning the 1/8th” A/V out into a headphone jack. On location in the field I really want to hear what the 5D is hearing and not necessarily through a headphone jack of a mixer.Also, Ty (fellow CC peer), suggested I look into the 302 Compact Production Field Mixer (302 Compact Production Field Mixer) as opposed to the JuicedLink. Any thoughts on this?
