Thanks for your input, Roland.

My experience is (mainly) with 30 -> 25 fps video sequences. Not with AE templates. Nevertheless my results and therefore my experince is… erm… bad! It seems that no matter what I do, there will always be small “jumps” in the video track.

But what you’re saying is, that video will be identical (viewing vise, not spec wise – as 30 fps changes in the specs!) and equally smooth etc!?

Thanks again.

Hey Phil,

Thanks a lot for your input – I appreciate that!

Reason why I keep asking about sony A57 is that it (too) has mini jack sound in and a dedicated video record button. I need this kit to be super user friendly, because newbies has to operate it once on a while – hence the sungun ie. No time/knowhow to setup lights for each filming session. I do know that the sungun is a risk, but I’m aiming for these newbies to use their “critical eye” when they operate the gear, and to rather have low light than the opposite, as this is easier to fix in the post…

Good point about the nd filter!

In this case we’re gonna use Premiere, so that’s good… I’m still on FCP 7 (or is it 6, can’t remember!). But I’ve bought the big adobe suite and at some point I’m gonna have to say bye to FCP and jump right into Premiere (I tried Premiere many years ago, and wasn’t impressed, but from what I hear it’s good now!).

Again thanks for all your help.

Jess.

Hey Steve,

Thanks a lot for your input.

I get your point about the sungun. Thing is I need a kit that I can set up and have running in very few minutes. And sometimes at times where there is no natural light I can use as filler. But perhaps a chimera solution could be worked out… I’ll have to think about that!

Do you have any experience with the sony a57? From what I see on youtube, vimeo etc. it looks pretty good to me… but I also hear a lot of good things about d60…

Thanks again!

Jess.
