Thanks David!

I will be editing SD video mostly 24fps from dvx 100b’s… My Macbook does have the express card interface.

Thanks to all!

Thanks for confirming my suspicion…ONE QUESTION though: How do you turn gain off? Our DVXs only have L, M and H settings.

Thanks,

PS our company bought your DVD, and I can confirm that it IS worth the money for anyone new to the environment.

Thanks Noah,

For youtube 480i: Did you mean shoot 24P or 24PA? Everyone else seems to like 24PA.

Then capture at 29, but edit at 24 for more compact file size/quicker renders? Is this the ultimate youtube formula for dvx?

Bought your DVD by the way, and have already picked a number of valuable tips in the first half hour of viewing…

Well it appears I was misinformed by a “well meaning” salesperson… I was told that DVX100B was the ONLY camera that could synch the timecodes between multiple cameras and easily upload into FC timeline.

In looking at the HMC150 manual online I see that you can synch TWO cameras in a master/slave mode… This uploads conveniently into FC timeline I assume? Any differences in ease of work flow?

Also does HMC 150 master/slave imply that you are limited to a two camera time code synch? Whereas the 100B seems to have no limit on number of cams?

I really appreciate your patience with what are probably poorly worded neophyte questions Noah!

Thanks,

Jim

Thanks Noah,

One last question from my previous posts…

Can you address the multi-cam capabilities and expense factor of Panasonic’s current HD offering as compared to the DVX100B when working in final cut?

[Jim Bell]

Really? Can I take that to the bank? No-one I talked to indicated the new HD line had equal “film look” capabilities… that would be best of both worlds for sure… please confirm 🙂

And lest we forget, can you address the multi-cam capabilities as compared to the DVX100B when working in final cut?

Thanks!

Thanks a bunch Jeff. You made some good points I was not aware of. Anything else anyone can think of is appreciated!

Hi Noah,

You say its nuts to buy an SD camera in 2010 BUT…

Does the HMC40 emulate the film look as well as the DVX100B? Some applications actually call for varied definition don’t they?

How does finished file size compare between HD and SD for webcasting? Lots of people are on cable which can be very slow in the evenings…

Does the HMC40 mention support multi-camera shooting? How easy is timecode synching?

These are all issues for me…

Thanks!
