Good point Dave. The prores file created in AE is, in fact, clipping at 100 when viewed in FCP. The original source is topping out at about 110IRE. Any way of getting the detail back, or better yet, preventing After Effects from clipping at 100?

Sorry for the “old-school” term. Visually, the detail which is there in the original footage becomes washed-out and your left with nothing but a white field and no detail. The white looks like it’s been stopped from going over 100IRE (clipped). Mids and blacks are fine.
Also, and this appears to be unrelated, but when I import XDCam EX footage, the black levels in after effects are too low. This doesn’t happen with pro res footage. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Rick

My component out also is broken. For me it’s the blue channel that’s not working. I haven’t had the opportunity to send it back to Sony yet but I’d bet they won’t cover it under warranty.

Hi Jim. In Clip Browser, open up two explorer windows. In the top window, load the new clips. In the bottom window load the existing BPAV folder that you’ve already transferred to the computer, which will display the clips already present. Simply drag and drop the new clips into the bottom window. They will be added to the existing BPAV folder.

I had the same back focus problem…Exactly the same, actually. Sony ended up replacing my lens. The new one is fine.

That’s great to hear, Ron. I was unable to pick it up at NAB, but it still seemed like a good upgrade to the EX1. That said, I’m really glad Sony is releasing it at $8,320 instead of “just under $13,000” which was the word at NAB.

How is it to shoulder-hold?
