Is anyone else encountering this problem when capturing tapes with TC breaks?

great…….aaarrrgghhh

Looks like a 3 step process to do what we want:

1) capture mono audio (need to modify audio capture settings each time)

2) interpret th audio as mono in the bin for each and every clip

3) set up the timeline with mono audio tracks

This semms like a lot of work for something that really ought to be the norm in video production and post production.

Thanks for the response Aanarav. This needs to be an option in Capture for sure.

We had this happen on the very first project we attempted on PPRO 2.0. Since then we make a habit of “Saving the Project As” so we have a history of versions to revert to should such a devastating crash occur.

Thanks Jan, looking forward to hearing from Jeff.

Tony, we know our market space quite well and there should be a tolerance for this format. The decision will be between the HVX900 and Sony XDCAM HD. Sony wins in our market for nameplate, I’m trying to determne whether or not there is a sufficient quality and features argument to justify the purchase of a Panasonic “HD” camera in the mid-price range.

We are going through the same exercise with the purchase of a smaller camera (HVX200 vs some flavour of HDV).

Thanks for your suggestions. I’m hoping a product specialist will step up and make the key arguments for the HVX900 vs. Sony XDCAM HD.

[Pat Mcgowan]

Which is why we need to know what the HVX900 will represent in terms of uptake in the market.

Jan?

[Pat Mcgowan]

Mid range I suppose – around $2K for each display.

Jan,

Can you (or someone else) give us an “elevator pitch” for the HVX900? A brief comparison with Varicam, HDCAM and XDCAM HD would be nice.

We, like many other small production houses are liking the HVX900 plenty but are still looking over the HD cliff and wondering which parachute to use.

Thanks!
