I plan on switching to Adobe Premier. They have a FCP interface option for easy conversion. No professional I know is going to X. Apple has shunned the professional community thinking that people will use video editors as they do word processors. Anyone who has ever edited a watchable program will tell you it’ll never happen.

A major problem with the stock lens on the EX3 is the servo zoom. It is very inconsistent and will suddenly stop in the middle of a slow zoom. So as long as you never have to do a slow, creeping, zoom to a dampened stop, or visa versa; you’ll be fine. That at least has been the experience of several others including myself.

Thanks for all of your input. I’m not going to sweat it. The problem will only be visible on computer. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn’t overlooking something.

“NLEs are based upon broadcast standards, so you have to adjust for Web delivery, rather than the other way around.”

Thanks David, but I wouldn’t have to resize anything if Beta SP was indeed 720. 720 should be 720, just as it is with DVCam. Pixels matter! After all, we delineate between 486 and 480.

I haven’t given up on this yet. There has got to be a better explanation.

The difference between footage is:

Beta SP 16×9 (Betacam) DVCam 16×9 (Sony DSR 450)
Analog Digital
720×486 720×480

Capture Presets Tried: Capture Presets Tried:
Apple Pro Res 720×486 16×9 DV 720×480 16×9
10bit Uncompressed 720×486 16×9
DV 720×480 16×9 (worked best w/ my DV footage, made letterboxes the same except for above mentioned problem)

I also tried the above presets without 16×9 (anamorphic) selected
I’m using an AJA Kona LH.

STUDPID QUESTION: Is there a difference in pixel size between analog beta and DV?

Thanks!!!!!!!

“I can’t remember the last time we saw BetaSP footage that actually did fill the entire frame horizontally.”

That’s what I thought. Thanks.
