I realize my question was a bit specific with regards to the equipment. Generally, what is the best way to diffuse these types of lights when attached to a camera in a run-and-gun type scenario? What is the best way to approach setting the color temperature? What do you base it on?

Thanks.

1.) If I copy all of the clips to the HD, how do I then delete the ones that I don’t need?

2.) After importing the clips I require, where are they saved to? What format are the brought in? I’m guessing no compression is applied?

Thanks!

March 17, 2014 at 9:42 pm in reply to: CS6 keeps dropping audio on my Mac

I currently have an SD card with around 45GB of video on it. I do not want all of the clips on it, though I have not had a chance to go through them all yet, so I have been shooting clips, and selectively ingesting just those clips that I need straight from the card. I do not want to copy all 45GB and take up that space.

1. Are you saying that this is not a good idea? The SD card may not be fast enough to ingest straight to the Mac, resulting in my audio dropouts?

2. If so, is there a way to somehow just copy portions of the SD card to my Mac or an external hard drive without copying over EVERYTHING on it?

Thanks!

The clips play fine if I ingest them directly into the QT Player, the audio is on the clips and plays and exports when I use the QT player to encode the clips.

However, I use the Media Browser in CS6 to navigate directly to clips on my SD card, I load them into the Source Window. When I play the clips in the Source window the audio will play, but at some point drop. When I drag the clip from the source window to the Timeline the audio is gone there also. When I export/encode the clip the audio is also missing. I’m not quite sure is there is a pattern with regards to where the audio drops out in CS6, though it always seems to happen.

1. Any suggestions?
2. Is there a different way I can get the clips into CS6?

Thanks!

Thanks everyone for the replies.

Based on the two images included in the links, what might you recommend for recording my VO?

Do I need sound blankets on the walls or can I get by just with the Countryman?

Hi Scott,

1. Is there some guideline for going from shorter/faster clips to longer/slower ones? Is this just up to the discretion of the editor? I guess I’m just looking to see if there are underlying guidelines for determining pacing or not.

2. Should I approach this project so it has a beginning/middle/end, and if so, does this influence how pacing should be?

Thanks.

I have an XLR cable to go from the mic and into the mini mic port for the computer. Why would the mic get fried from being plugged directly into the computer?

Thanks.

Could you elaborate a bit on the 5D advantages over the HVX200?

I know the HVX has better audio controls. How else does the 5D perform better over the HVX besides the shallow depth of field? I guess I’m trying to get an idea of when I would use the HVX vs. the 5D for footage these days.

Thanks!!!!

The footage will be of students in classrooms painting, drawing, working on computers, professors lecturing, demonstrating techniques, and footage of artwork on display in a small gallery. This commercial will be web based, and is not intended for a network.

1.) Will the HVX200 and the DSLRs be equally affected by the moiré patterns?
Is there a way to reduce the effect of them when shooting them or in post?

2.) Based on the additional info I provided, what would you recommend?

Thanks!

September 20, 2011 at 11:55 pm in reply to: Recommended Mics

We are going to get a lav also. When I go to BH’s site, they have a lot of different variations of the Countryman B6 and EMW and B3.

We are not going to get a mixer just yet, so it will have to be plugged directly into the camera. Which specific lav would you recommend we get from all of the available variations on the pages below? We are interested in good quality, while not wanting to buy the best, but something good enough.
