[Q1]

Well, I would like to shoot in 24P to get as close to the film look as possible without actually shooting on film. That’s the whole draw of the Panasonic 24P. The only reason I would combine them is because I already own the VX2000 and would obviously still want/need to use it. All our shoots require a minumum of 2 cameras and sometimes 3.

Here’s an exmaple of what we’re doing:

You can see how we utilize two and three different angles on each shoot (one cam in the tow-boat, one in a chase boat, sometimes another on a fixed location) and I’d have to be able to edit all source footage together in the same Premiere project.

Sounds like this will work. There isn’t really much vocals in the song and I’d be happy with just greatly reduced levels of the vocals that are there.

Thanks

Very nice, thank you for the info. I’m willing to spend the extra time on encoding if I know it’s going to be worth the effort.
