    September 15, 2006 at 9:26 am in reply to: One good reason to register FCP

    My experiences are like Brett’s…

    Anyway, no one has answered my question regarding Apple’s statement that ‘registered owners of FCP are eligible to receive the 5.1.2 update’?

    I guess it’s just a way to coerce people to register and I shouldn’t take that seriously?

  • Yes, upDATE. Upgrade, update, UPDATE, sorry. Free. No charge. Zip.

  • It’s an upgrade.

  • Next month.

  • There’s need and there’s greed- my position is somewhere in the middle, slightly leaning toward the right;)

    Thanks for the response, Uli.

  • Uli,
    For PAL-people not going to film and working with FCP 1080i50 is the best they can get out of the camera, right? I’m in a dilemma because I don’t expect to go to film but I am in the market for an HVX. Initially to shoot a doc in SD DV 16×9 in progressive mode, down the road to be able to offer HD to my clients.(not to mention my own experiments with 720p)

    Would you advice against buying a HVX200 at the moment? (For one reason: because by the time FCP 6 allows working in 720p, the HVX300 is closeby?)

    Thanks for the response and sorry if I misunderstood some things- I am foremost a storyteller, not a tech-type.

  • Could you explain how you would put a NTSC model to use in Europe, Uli?

    Regards,

  • Thanks, I had noticed the good info on Adam Wilt’s site.

    But to get back to my original question, I haven’t purchased anything yet- would you recommend getting BOTH the DMTS DVD and the Green book/DVD?

    And if you had a choice, which one would you get?

    (or -knowing this is a small world- is this too sensitive a question for you to answer..?)

    Hey Aaron, you again?!

    Just asked for a quote on the 100 BE at B&H and there is no rebate for the PAL camera… (it is however $200 cheaper than the BA) not even the Magic Bullet software and the Green DVX handbook+DVD… Bummer. (I asked if they could throw in the book/DVD since I’m ordering a bunch of accessories and that’ll probably go through- but now I want the Magic Bullet as well:)
    You’re in New Zealand, right? Did you get any of those goodies with the BE?

    I was -very- tempted to go for the 200 but luckily B&H doesn’t sell the PAL version. To be honest, I can’t really justify the investment. I’m not an indie filmmaker like you- this is my first indie doc and I’m struggling for every euro.
    As far as being set for the next few years: by the time the P2 cards and Firestore disks will have dropped to acceptable prices, the next generation Panasonic probably won’t be far away, wouldn’t you say?
