I have the same problem with FCP #7. I have tried exporting Pro Rez, DVCPRO HD & SD for files and get these erratic black frames. I see other people have the same problems. Have you found a fix ? Thank you for your time, Nick – contact@misterphoton.com

In Denver, Colorado Springs and Boulder markets in Colorado the rates for a HD camera crews are up to the national average rates with most HD packages. We are charging 2250 to 2200 on average for a 2 person HD crew with the HDX900 and Canon HJ7.6×22 or Fuji HA 5×10 or comparable wide angle lens like a Canon HJ 4.7 or even the Fuji HD4.5 wide angle lenses.
The HDX900’s anamorphic aspect ratio is really wide with a fish eye lens, and not always necessary.

RE HDX900 HD camera crew rates. Hello, other things to warrant the higher rates of a HDX900 HD camera crew would be several costs compared in the manufacturing to the smaller cameras with the HDX900 camera being a most costlier & professional HD camera. The HDX900 has larger 2/3″ CCD imagers unlike the smaller P2 cameras using 1/4 & 1/3 or 1/4″ CMOS or CCD imagers, the cost of a adequate HD lens, HD monitor, a professional weight bearing camera tripod, expensive lithium HD camera batteries adequate for powering the HDX900 all day (2 may power a HDX900 for a half day, but past that you’ll need more batteries). For HD camera crews aside from the smaller HDV, XDCAM, P2 HD cameras the HDX900 has several functions making it applicable for multiple HD camera shoots for events, conventions, concerts, multiple camera conference coverage and other infinite HD video applications for high definition productions, producers, production companies or networks. The HDX900 also matches well with the VariCam HD cameras & P2 HD cameras in the DVCPRO HD camera crew portfolio for scene files shared, and camera looks.

I had the same questions about what to charge for a 2 person HDX900 camera crew myself when I bought the camera in it first year. I don’t feel ‘this market or ‘that market should be the deciding factor on your rate for a 2 person HD camera crew. Every high definition camera crew brings various camera support items, lenses, monitors, lighting, grip and other camera support and each of us has our operation costs from day to day. So I charge what I can negotiate with the clients within reason and within the rates of other HD / HDX900 camera crews with comparable camera packages & skills.
Lawyers and other professionals are all out there in mass – like HD TV video camera crews and they stick to their guns on rates (imagine how many lawyers there are compared to camera crews?)

Hello, we are charging 2250 for a 2 person HDX900 DVCPRO HD camera crew in the Denver Colorado area, and other metro Denver, Colorado Springs, Boulder cities. We include tungsten lighting kit, camera, tripod, monitor, HD lens, sound equipment, camera filters, along with other camera support. The HDX900 also docks well to the FS100 FireStore, and FS160 HD DTE recorders enabling HD recorded to tape, as well as, Quick Time or P2/MXF. The ‘most common’ 2 person camera crew is a DP/cameraman/videographer and a location sound person.
I hope this helps, as the prices of the camera equipment is the same give or take wherever you go. Crews also carry overhead or equipment & liability insurance which is needed to tote around all the hardware. + There’s all the misc camera support gear to keep your HDX900 running all day.

If you have a HD lens and plenty of camera support I’d suggest keeping up with the national average for a HDX 900 camera crew at 2,250 and more if you’re bringing more HMI’s or specified equipment. All the reputable HDX 900 camera crews are doing a affordable, yet professional service for their clients. I’d stand your ground on rates as the amount of money going into a HDX 900 camera includes partially: quality HD lens – 9,000+ and up (for a non-wide angle), HD Monitor, professional tripod, camera mic, tripod plate, high capacity costlier batteries, mattebox, lighting package and sound package + crew labor. The rentals costs for the gear alone exceed 2,250, plus insurance and the other costs we have as professional HDX 900 camera crew. Stand your ground, as 2,250 is a more than reasonable rate for a HDX 900 2 person camera crew. Sorry for a staunch tone, for all fellow HDX 900 ‘afficionados’/camera crews we deserve the rate.

As a Denver HDX 900 cameraman & camera crew, I am charging 2250 for a 2 person crew along with the national average. I figure keeping rates on par, along with par HDX 900 camera packages keeps the economy stable (or as good as it can be with great humor). The HDX 900 Denver and Colorado wide rate I offer is 1850 per single cameraman standard with HD wide angle lens, lighting, camera support etc. I like the HDX 900 compared to the VariCam for overall shooting resolutions and frame rates with either NTSC or PAL HD, 720p or 1080i/p making it a great ENG, EFP HD camera for freelance camera people or HD camera crews.
