I got an nx5e to work alongside my sony Z1 using premiere cs4..At moment i downscale to standard definition from Z1 & i set the nx5e to film sd as my pc is not good enough for 1920HD…it struggles along with 1440 x 1080.No blu-ray burner anyhow.
On comparison the nx5e auto white balance is far more orange than the Z1 & therefore could not use them together in this auto setting.
I feel the Z1 picture is sharper….would this be the 3 ccd’s superiority against the 3 CMOS chips?
The nx5e xlr microphone is far better than the z1 xlr microphone.
I enjoy the workflow, far quicker dragging mpeg files onto pc than sitting through tapes in realtime..On import you are left with mpeg files named with a list of meaningless numbers, time spent renaming clips would be needed for organisation.
In premiere i get a mismatch of upper & lower field first..DV lower field..nx5e standard def mpeg being upper field & this is another major problem for me..reverse field order of either of them..as i’ve been told to do, results in unacceptable jerkiness on movement.
editing in 1440 x 1080 using high def mpeg from both cameras then gives me a problem in adobe encore.
Adobe encore does not allow me to choose upper field in the project settings even when sending direct from premiere, so a continued mismatch.
