Les, wasn’t there supposed to be some Hardware assisted super duper FCP version last year, well maybe it is materialising now? Or perhaps it’s that Apple are to buy Avid or visa versa… or just another one of Apple’s hyped up media manipulations… or appleinsider wanting to sleaze their way to more readers… hmmm, a cynic’s possibilities are endless!

Hi there Sean
Thanks for the reply

On the desktop, i guess the AJA hi5 would do the trick… at a price.

But on the laptop… If you plug a DVI to HDMI cable into the laptop’s DVI socket and use Cinema Display Mode, surely your laptop screen will also be toggled to full screen video? This is what I want to avoid. I want to be able to edit and simultaneously have full screen video output. Is this possible?

Thanks,
Mark.

[James Carroccio] ”
p.s is the hand holding this camera s bad as everyone says? do i really need a shoulder brace?”

Depends on if you are using the viewfinder or the LCD monitor. If the LCD and you are holding the camera by the handle on top of the camera, its pretty easy to hand hold, but then your hand is not on the variable speed zoom, just one (variable by setting and switch) speed zoom.

If you are using the viewfinder it is simply by far the worst hand held camera i have every tried. Balance, weight – yes a brace is a necessity for more than 5 minutes of shooting.

[David Roth Weiss] “So far everything is running quite nicely, “
hey there david, happy new year to you!

please could you import some motion templates onto an FCP timeline and play. Preferably stack them a bit, use 4 or 5.

I cannot use Motion templates with Leopard and AJA Kona Lhe simultaneously… take one out of the equasion, all is fine, but the three together always causes FCP to freeze.

thanks mate

you must have a bad cable john!

jokes aside

i dont know a lot about camera electronics, but it seems odd the SDI output should be ANY different from the 35HQ footage… considering it would be bumping to uncompressed from compressed, there is no further compression to do.

the SDI output is of no use to me, but it would seem very odd for sony to not connect the SDI to the signal before it gets compressed to MPEG.

im pretty curious now, anybody else done any testing, have good explanations?

there is no mention i have noticed, but i guess will happen and is similar to how anything gets updated… download a file, unzip and copy to an empty media stick, switch on the camera in playback mode and the camera will read the file and update automatically… even my cheap yamada dvd player does it kinda like this (no camera though 😉 )

[Mark Palmos]

Gotcha, thanks Abraham.
I guess if theres a thread i am really into, i will just manually set the thread view back timed to the date the thread was started.
Catcha later, have a great new year and 2008

nice rant steve!
im sure ron shook will be intested to read it too… and PLEASE send it to Sony, i reck SOME of the stuff could be addressed in a firmware upgrade (like the daft menu stuff)
my biggest gripe by far is how difficult it is to hand hold (made more severe by the fact that i left my tripod at work this holiday)
