But then what would I then use for compression when I’m rendering out of After Effects (which I use for color grading) and then what would I use to render out from Sony Vegas (that I use for editing) and then what would I use for my final render from Enhancer, which I use for final polishing of the video? How would (should?) the codec used change if I was going to upload to Youtube, vs. if I wanted to burn a DVD?
You see I’m talking about the best way to handle MULTIPLE recompressions of the same material.
Thank you for your answer though!

Thanks for all the info, guys! Very helpful.

Hey Stephen, I wanted to like Man Made on facebook, but I couldn’t find a link.

So if anybody is reading this thread and still wants to know the info, you need a rail system to use a matte box. Rails systems are relatively cheap, less than $200 USD. The rail system attaches to your tripod or whatever rig you’re using. The camera and the matte box then attach to the rail system.

Hey Dave, sorry about that. The conversation kind of switched from the GH2 to the Black Magic.

My figures are shooting 29.97 at 4k, 8 bit, equals around 9 GBs per minute. I could easily see myself shooting and wanting have available 12 hours of footage, as I’m a narrative feature length film maker. So that equals a need of 6.5 Terrabytes.
The information about needing a server I got from the most trustworthy source of info online–Youtube–of course. Ha ha ha!
Gotta Love the matte box!

The timing is perfect. however when the film slips away, it should be surrounded by black, you seem to have a white rectangle in the middle of your background. Also, when it slips out, it needs to show the entire strip of film, right now it is only one “frame” or box.” Understand?
If you save your project down to version 8 (still what i’m running) i can make these changes, add the green screen, and re post the project here (we can post files here right?).

These are both pretty close, thanks guys. Only thing is when the film gets ripped off it should take a bit longer, maybe 3 seconds total?, and you shouldn’t see the film sprocket holes at first. If you guys feel like taking another shot at this maybe you could use blue or green screen footage so it will be easy for me and all others to use this effect with our own footage?
I’m kinda surprised none of us can find an actual sample of this somewhere, I swear I used to see it all the time.

Helvetica is the industry standard. Of course, Arial is a rip off of Helvetica.

Well I just switched the codec over to FF1V, re-rendered it, and then it imported fine.
Still it’s weird that this happened at all. The audio was rendered in PCM, and the whole clip that I was trying to import was rendered out from Vegas in the first place. Seems odd that Vegas could render out something that it couldn’t re-import, but I guess that may be possible.
There does seem to be something weird about my quicktime setup. When I go to the official apple page to download the newest version, it won’t work. The dialog window comes up where it asks you where you want to save the file, and it all seems to work fine, but then after the file downloads, I can’t find it. I told it to save the file to my desktop, and it seemed like it was doing that just fine. I go into my downloads on Firefox, and yes, the file seems to have downloaded, but then I check my desktop for the file, and it isn’t there. I had to find an older version of quicktime (7.0 I think) just to get quicktime to install at all. Anybody else have this problem?
And why would it make a difference if I’m not using any kind of quicktime or mpg4 codec in the first place? Why would the FFDSHOW FF1V codec import back in fine, but not the FFDSHOW HUFFYUV codec? Just all seems so strange.
