    [Dave LaRonde] “Got a capture card that will control your camera for capture, accept your camera’s HDMI output and capture in a lossless codec? If you do, you’re all set!”

    We just invested in a Canon XH A1, and there’s no budget money for a capture card. So, if you can’t buy one, what would you recommend? I, too, am trying to find the ideal workflow with this camera.

    I’m shooting 24f, but the only profile to capture with inside Premiere is at 23.976 interlaced. Should I be doing anything to the footage before editing or using in AE?

    I went to the site but can’t seem to find a description. What are these plugins and what do they do?

    Check with the people who run the display. I had to create a vertical comp, but their hardware was set up “correctly.” By that I mean, I output a tall vertical display file naturally. I didn’t have to rotate it.

  • Actually, you can’t put anything behind it. You can only select a solid color. And what’s with the attitude?

    I’ve seen this attitude a lot around here. Why so mean?

    Wow, I’m running into this exact same problem. Outdoor scene that wasn’t greenscreening well due to tree shadows. Actor needed to get to next gig. Shot it in my living room real quick, instead. Of course, my living room is a 20′ square space with hardwood floors, so it’s a bit echo-ey.

    Any tips/tricks to reduce the echo?

    I had to do that. A simple adjustment layer that’s heavily blurred (I only blurred vertically) and corner pinned to the glass would work. Of course, if he walked in front of it you’ll have to roto him out.

    You are definitely doing something wrong. Camtasia works great for me. You capture with their codec, then use their producer program to export as something editable. I always edit out at full screen res (not downscaled to 720×480 or 640×480) in MOV. Works like a charm.

    I use the PowerPoint plugin to record PowerPoint.

    I was assuming you have the PowerPoint file the speaker used. Do you? If so, you can watch your tape of his speech and hit the space bar each time he advances the animation while recording with Camtasia. Voila! You have an instantly synced up recording of the exact same PowerPoint presentation.
