[Rick Wise] “SD is a poor format for green screen, and very out of date” I assumed SD meant the storage cards, not standard definition.
Finding myself in a similar situation actually for a documentary project, I am leaning toward the Canon XA10, along with a nice mic and an ARRI kit. But I am not buying any equipment until Final Cut Pro X actually hits the market.
The three things I was looking for were:
1. A very small footprint
2. XLR mic inputs
3. Manual exposure control -
Sorry, I meant it as a general workflow concept. I checked the specs on the HDR-FX1, and it appears like it will not do that because there is no high definition output.

Video and Audio. 😉
Actually, supporting of the ASC CDL would be nice.

Regarding Smoke, is it an editing suite or is it specialized for finishing, compositing?

Adjusted for today’s $USD, the printing press in 1600 costs $250,000, the iPhone3GS: $49.

iANAL.
Yeah, I own the patent on stairs. Everytime someone walks up stairs or down stairs, they owe me money. So far it’s been really tough to collect.
silly.

How is “Pro App” defined?

Trying to compare Apples to Apples.

Is there a technical software coding reason why we have to round trip between FCP, STP, DVDSP, Color, Motion…why not have one all inclusive app, logging to finishing, no XML?

[Lee McGowan] “for the use of motion menus on DVD’s”
This is probably a scam, but what do I know? I’m not a lawyer. That’s my standard disclaimer.
A significant legal difference exists between a copyright and a trademark. Copyright is a work, like a novel, a poem, a movie, a book. A trademark is a logo, a slogan. Also a non-disclosure agreement covers the “in between” of this stuff, like client lists. Obviously my lists are not exhaustive.
If it’s a true trademark infringement, then it sounds to me like it is NOT about footage rights (copyright issues), but that some company’s logo, or similar creative asset, is being used without proper permission. Also many corporations have detailed usage rights for their logo. For example, the logo must be 1/4″ from the margin; it must be 150% of the size of the biggest font, and so on.
If it’s a copyright infringement, then it sounds to me (a non-lawyer) like there might be footage of someone’s trademark. Let me say it better: you cannot take a picture of Mona Lisa and then claim you own the photo, because a copyright must be an original work. If you take a picture of something that is not original work, then you do not own the copyright. For example, other photography, architecture, logos on tshirts, all of that stuff is already owned by someone else. This could be a long list of things.
