Well Ken the support is a matter of time. SONY is SONY. Hoever the 420 sampling has been a deception for me. I expected a 422. SONY could have make a revolution with this camera but as you says, I start to think too that is a HDV re-packaged.
Anyway, no hurry-up. Time to wait.

Yes may be a Combustion’s problem. The truth is that I lost interest in Combustion because AutoDesk didn’t payd any attetion to the program for a long time. The release of Combustion 4 for Mac it tooks almost one year after Combustion 4 for PC was released. Is a pity because I think is a very good piece of software and when I bought it I think was more advanced than AE (ie. used to render in 32b three years before than AE). Now I feel confortable with AE and if I would need to send things from FC to AE more often for sure I would think about the Duck.

Hi Ken,
Thanks for your advice. I’ve been following a thread in the “CineAlta” forum basically comparing XDCam with DVCProHD. There they say that with the new Flash-memory of the XDCam EX, the workflow will be easier and faster than with P2 cards. The workflow is a very important issue but now I’m more interested in to comparing the picture quality that the two formats can offer. The XDCam EX has been just released so probably we will have to wait few weeks untill we can get some impartial feed-backs.

I bought Combustion 3 in September 2004 while I was in the US. I’ve got for free a version of AutomaticDuck with the “FC OMF-export” and the “Combustion OMF-import”. I tried few times to export a simple time-line from FC without geting a good result.
Them I came to Asia and i didn’t try again because i stoped working with Combustion. As long as i’m not in the US, I can not even buy the Combustion 4 up-date. However I guess that AutomaticDuck works fine today because I know they have been working a lot to improve the plugin.

Click in the dock the thumbnail of the application you want to be on top of FC. Other solution is to click the FC thumbnail in the Dock and choose “hide”.
Chers,

You can not avoid that since AE always render in RGB. However, as Chaos Wrangle points, FC 6 allows to change the gamma of the footage and graphics on the brownser.
There is a very good article about this issue by Charless Poynton (this guy really knows a lot):
“Mergin computing with studio video: Converting beteen R’G’B’ and 4:2:2”. Is a must-to-read for anybody that works with FC and AE.

I guess you talk about the “Frame blending” option that you get when changing the speed. If you set your speed to 25% and you don’t check “Frame blending”, you get that frame repeated four times. If you check “Frame blending”, you get your original frame and three other frames that are obtained by interpolation. So if you want your slow-mo looking smooth you must check the “Frame blending”.

Hi Shane,
I haven’t had the chance of working with the PANASONIC HVX 200 but I was considering to buy it. Now the Sony XDCam EX has been released and looks great. Do you thinc that this camera (420, MPG2, etc) will equal the quality of the panasonic (DVCProHd..). I want to start to shoot HD but I can not thinc to go to a higher standard or model. Thanks for your advice,

Hi Wayne,
Go to the QT player prefferences>Advanced>Mime Settings>Miscellaneous-Miscellaneous file formats. Check “Flash media”. I think is that.
