Hi Ernie

Ok many thanks…yes I always use the half shutter.. but thanks for the reminder.. When camera is set to 1080i/59.94 30p.. for example.. the camera is actually recording 60i is it not..and changing to 30p by some internal wizardry ..?

Thanks again

Hi Ernie

thanks again for the info.. you are legend ..

so in 720p can chose 30p.. doesnt have to be 60p.. but with 1080i .. say Iam set 1080i/59.94 30p
the FCP setting must be 60i.. as the camera is recording 60i.. not actually 30p..

thanks again.. shoot is tomorrow!

There always seems to be confusion about HDX/Varicam settings.. have never done that side of it.. so say iam shooting 720p /59.94 30p. .. FCP is set to 720p/59.94 60p.. (not 30p).. or if 1080i/60i ..30p FCP would be set to 60i and not 25p..does that make sense..????

Its a new Mac pro with 8 pin FW.. so there is a 400 to 800 cable???

Thanks again for your time

Hi Ernie

Thanks as usual for your advise.So what is the procedure.. I read that the cable should be plugged in from camera to laptop before each is powered up.. is that true?

Does the the lap top have to be set to “record” .. capture? (there will be an editor there,but I dont think he has done this before either)

Or can you just plug in and go?

Any tips

Thanks again

https://www.interstudio.co.jp/top.html

Recently shot green screen at this studio… 30/40 mins drive on the highway outside central Tokyo.. pretty easy to find.They can paint the studio for $10,000 US or they have very big green drapes that can be used,I think ours was 20m X 15M.

BUT… no one speaks English.. which might go for all Studios in Japan! and they dont rent camera gear,but might be able to rent in for you,not sure.

I would advise you will need a local fixer for sure..getting off the plane and hoping for the best wont work .. many places will also want payment in cash..
