That looks really good. I’ll give it a try. thanks.

Thanks Dave….I kind of suspected this would be the case but I thought I’d check with the experts before I gave up on the shot. The original footage was shot on a RED camera so I’ll go back to RECINE X and try to do some more tweaking to bring the sky brightness down a few notches and lighten up the face. Unless anyone else has any other non sky replacement ideas.

Problem solved. There are two audio adjustments in the newest version of REDCINE X which were not in previous versions. In the Quicktime setup audio section there are two default selected items that need to be deselected. Under “Audio Overrides” deselect “clip frame rate” and “Mono Audio Channel Layout”
-
The audio settings window is slightly different from the previous versions of REDCINE X
But the settings are the same:
Linear PCM
Channels 3.0 (LRC) (3 channels recorded in the camera)
24 bits
48KHZ -
Yeah I have the same problem. Can hear existing timeline soundtrack OK and I can see the meters moving to the voiceover sound input but I can’t hear what’s being recorded either before or after I start recording.

The Quicktimes are RED camera files Transcoded to Prores 4444.

I know the OP is old but for those researching this subject I’ll add a technique I used which saves having to mess around in post.
Rent a low cost video projector, like they use in schools and offices.
If the TV is in the shot with the camera behind it pointing at the actor put the projector on a table in front of the actor pointing at him in a way it is hidden…you could for instance frame out the table legs.
Hook the projector up to a laptop and put in a DVD with maybe an action movie so the intensity of image flickers a lot. Now, get a light spun lighting gel semi transparent and put it in front of the projector lens. This allows you to see the flickering on the actor’s face without actually projecting a picture onto him or her. The gel diffuses the image just enough for the effect. Move the projector toward or away from the actor depending on how much light intensity you want.
If you want to light up a whole room rather than just the actor’s immediate area rent a bigger projector with more Lumen output. Works great.

You’re right and although 24p is coming it going to be pricey. It won’t be a simple upgrade to the 700. In true Sony fashion of always holding a carrot on a stick in front of you no matter what model you choose or how much you spend, 24p 1080P is going to be a whole new model probably the PDW 750 or something. And in order to maximize the big price jump they’ll tart up the camera a bit with film gizmos. But don’t expect to see it until they have sold their quota of 700’s. With the 700 running around $50,000
with medium priced glass and viewfinder I’d guess a 24p camera would be mid to upper 60’s easily. -
Don’t know about B&H my the MSRP for the camera is now $29,800.00 without viewfinder. This is up from $28,500.00 last fall (and it isn’t even out yet!)ya gotta love Sony.

Funny you should mention the RED. I’m also looking at that option, as a matter of fact I’m on the list. But the Sony does have it’s advantages although Sony has raised the price of the PDW 700 even though it isn’t even available yet. So A basic RED package and the 700 are now about the same price without glass. So I’m trying to decide between the two.
The RED’s image is way better but post is still a bit bizare. Sony’s post is easier and I wouldn’t have to pack up the camera and ship it to California if something goes wrong. But, once you stick a half decent HD lens on the Sony we are talking 45-50K total. The price point stays the same if I can use Nikon still lenses on either camera. The RED’s Nikon mount is simple and elegant but adapting a 35mm lens to a 2/3 imager looks like bit of a clunky process.
I’m going to a Sony demo of the 700 next week and I wanted to know what my lens options are. My partner, is very nervous about the tapeless workflow. She’d like to be able to hold the tape/disc in her hand and so would like us to go with the Sony. I have until October to decide.
