Thanks to Mark and Arthur. You all are confirming my suspicions. Good to see I’m not on my own in my thoughts.

I understand “watch a lot of reels”, but I see lots of reels that are frankly not very good. I’ll give creative cow’s a shot (and from the few posts and discussions i’ve been in i’ve noticed a level of professionalism thats unmatched elsewhere)…but some of these vimeo and youtube reels are downright ugly sometimes. 🙂

Thanks for the tips!

Thanks you two, that really makes a lot of sense, especially as you said Stephen many job openings will lead to 50+ reels.

I’m leaning towards a strategy where I create a 30 second teaser to get into it and settle down with a few more long-cut snippets.

This is very helpful! Thanks!

Call me dense but could you briefly explain a textless master? I’m rather green with mastering through post houses (usually just made MiniDV masters).

Thanks!

Hey Toby–

I recently shot my first HDV footage and was baffled in the log and capture window. If I’m not mistaken FCP can only capture footage using “capture now” (someone correct me if I’m wrong!) If your problem is the same as mine was, it can be fixed by putting the footage in ProRes. Learn more by checking out the following tutorial:

I hope you took the lens cap off! 😉

hope this helps!

Bill–

Yes I was also contemplating other systems (like Avid) and knew they wouldn’t want something with an Apple codec. Just as video is different so will the post house be different. I will start shopping soon and will be annoying the crap out of a post house with questions soon.

Thanks!

Thanks Shane! I hope my suggestion that it was easy didn’t offend you. 🙂

So I’ll Export > Quicktime Movie > Current Settings, Include Audio Video, Markers None, Deselect “Recompress all frames” and check “Make movie self-contained”

Got it. Thanks again.

I simply meant tapeless (our company is looking at the Sony XDCAMEX for instance)

I’ve heard it is possible on Varicam but for HD (footage from chip based cameras)?
