Cheap cameras are going to be a better buy than cheap decks because they sell like 10000 times more cameras than decks. I heard that the small sony decks use camera tape mechanisms anyway.
More HDV cams at weddings? That’s like saying less demand for VHs tapes. But the screengrabs print thing is interesting. I wonder if the switch to HDV will have an impact on how we cover weddings. I read a post recently about how wedding photography and videography will merge in the next few years. Will photoshoots become videoshoots? It seems that for many wedding photgraphers the money shots dont come from the ceremony or the reception but from the photoshoot where the photographer more or less directs the action. I sometimes wish the rate of change would slow down a bit and give us time to catch up.

Doug I know you often recommend Douglas Spotted Eagle as a resource on copyright.In a post by DSE on VU he says that its fine to include copyright music in wedding videos as long as you record it live and don’t make it the basis of your edit. I don’t want to start another angry debate but this point seems basic information for wedding videographers. How about you doing an article for Event DV exploring this idea? I can’t think of anyone better qualified to do it.
if there is a 90 second track on v1 and the last 10 seconds of that is covered by a track on v2, I put an effect on v1 – it renders. I then razor balde the clip on v1 anywhere and FCP wants to re-render the v1 clip…
speaking with a friend who says squeeze can’t do high quality (multi-pass) h.264 encoding. Is the same true of cleaner? If so then how is it possible to produce a (pseudo)widescreen QT7 web video from 4:3 footage in FCP?
