figured you must have been nabbing when you really needed to be napping. I knew if you were standing behind a camera you would have nailed that one easily enough!

Doubling audio tracks to boost volume is a lazy man’s work around to avoid round tripping to an audio application. FCP was not designed around this concept as it is more proficient to repair audio in other ways. This is a quick and dirty solution we use when we can get away with it. If you want the exact keyframes in track 3+4 you adjust them in 1+2 and THEN copy and paste them to give you new tracks with the adjustment already there. Designers of FCP never figured on us or needing or wanting to link 4 tracks in order to set the same keyframes just as this would be moot with 2 video tracks.

Hey Noah, wouldn’t you need to drag the shutter as slow as you could, 1/15th. if possible to get the trace images AND undercrank to get the fast action? I would expect if you were using 1/15th. sec shutter speed you could not undercrank below 18 fps.
If you do it in post you should lock the camera down so the people are the only moving things to be ghosted with the effect.

[walter biscardi] “Why would it belong to you if the client paid you to do the work AND they paid for the raw tape stock?”
In the comments on the WSJ article an ex company employee stated Flagler provided the stock and maintained the library on his own. WM suggested they re-use old tapes.
It seems he owns the tapes but what the video is used for is another issue.
I did a similar thing when I recorded a conference on climate change 8 or 9 years ago. I was asked not to use tapes in the cameras to save money. They also wanted me to record the live mix to vhs LP. I compromised using S-VHS at sp. Realizing the historical value at the time I immediately ordered enough DV tape stock for 3 or 4 days of recording from 3 cameras on my own dime. If I ever get time I’d like to go through this stuff and make some dvd’s. I know the scientists and dignitaries would be behind me. Nothing else was ever done with it due to lack of budget.

[robert reed] “he called and was given a pricetag of over $350 for what she could have got at the local drug store for about $40. “
I have worked as a professional photographer for many years. In many cases you never achieved a break even point after a portrait session. Extra income garnered from later sales were much needed income. This is different than the way commercial work is done where bigger budgets prevail. Enough profit can be realized at the end of the service and you walk away. I remember the frustration at having someone take a print that I spent 2 hours retouching a negative under a microscope on and then hand printing it till I got the perfect print (from maybe the 10th try) only to learn the customer then took that in for copies. The $40.00 job you get at a drug store does not equate to the $350.00 job you get from the artist although the drug store can nowadays make a really good $40.00 copy of the $350.00 work.
The reason photographers like to maintain ownership of negatives is because the print finishing process is also a dimension of their creative process. If you take a negative into a drug store for a machine print and then tell your friends “oh, ABC photo did our portraits” it would not reflect upon the photographers own quality standards as if he had hand printed it himself.
We used to beg for a little more time from our clients to make that magical image, do the best we could and these images we used to represent our work to other prospective clients and for print competitions. This is where we received respect from our peers, they’re kind of like Telly awards etc. Today when we hand over the film (CD) to the client after a shoot we are not begging for a little more time but thinking “if I can wrap this in the next 20 minutes I can still get 9 holes in this afternoon.”

You have to be in REC or REC/PAUSE mode for the audio mon/var control to work and bump the audio monitor level.
Are you getting proper recording levels as per meters or recorded sound?

Are you recording from the built in mic or other? Is this during play back or what?
I’m thinking the line/mic switch on the front by the xlr jacks on the front face of the cam.

[Philip Bloom] “Not sure if anyone is interested. But I have a written and video review of the EX3 “
Philip, this has to be the understatement of the year! 🙂 How many hits have you had so far?

I’m surprised someone is still manufacturing 60 GB HDD’s. Sony will have to follow with a bigger hard drive on the next ones or interchangable hot swap HDD’s. These will be obsolete soon like the Firestore FS100’s are for P2 users. The 1st Firestore was 40GB if I remember correctly. They were great in their time when all there was were 4GB P2 cards but with 64GB cards around the corner they seem a little archaic. Better to invest in more cards or a laptop IMHO.

Check the Panny site:
https://www.panasonic.com/business/provideo/nab2008/index.asp
Flash movies are in the blue box on the left. Printed info links along the right.
I don’t see an HVX200 small profile cam with interchangable lenses like the EX3 but at that price point you can start looking at the 2/3″ chips.
