What about the waveform, thumbnail and autosave selections? I use a computer at school and put everything on my portable hard drive.

What settings do you want?

The source is mini-dv SD 720×480, DVCPRO NTSC, 29.97 fps, Lover (Even) Filed Dominance (I tried changing Field Dominance to None but it didn’t help.

Just finished the burn, everything is okay…….

thanks for all the advice….the film is intended to have a “home video” look…..the producer/director’s idea actually came from a party that I shot for fun 4 years ago with a Canon XL2….after I looked at the footage I realized that I could incorporate it into a music video and another short film I was doing…..

I shot it hand held on autofocus but it just came out looking great dispite the poor video quality (high grain in low light)

I just got my hands on an af 100 for a demo…..very good….it may be the way we go….

PS…. I was also thinking about the Panosonic GH2 SLR for this film….have never used it…..anyone have experience with it?

this would be a rental….budget is $50,000….it is a narrative film in a large apartment that is holding a party so there will be a lot of actors……

I am the co-producer….and I am researching this for the producer/director of the film…..

Some of the negatives are that the budget is low…and we will probably have to shoot several times….I have already suggested to the producer that he is out of his mind to try it in one take (jk…lol) but seriously we are in the early stages of pre-production and I appriciate all the questions and concerns brought up…..it will help me the next time I talk to him…..I am against the one take philosohpy myself as we don’t have the budget to shoot multiple days if you have mistakes….(we will be rehersing this for 5 days with two days for shooting).

PS: he wants the camera operator to give the camera to one of the actors late in the film and act himself….
