First, you need to think in terms of pixel dimension instead of dpi. Make both dimensions of your scans at least twice the dimensions of your sequence if you are doing a move on the picture. The info you are using (96 dpi) could result in scans that are too small for what you are doing.
Render the clips on your timeline as needed and check the output on a monitor. Beyond this, you can find countless answers by doing searching posts on “scan stills” and the like.

Back then, all you had was radio. A tabletop or console type of radio. So roll off the high and low frequencies for a start (to taste) and experiment with a slight boost (parametric EQ) added to the signal at the frequency of your choice–anywhere from 300-2000Hz–whatever sounds right to you. Then add some noise. Maybe there’s a good noise sample in ST Pro?

Check out Digital Rapids (digital-rapids.com).

Suspected exactly that. Thanks.

I found it necessary. When I tried to capture from a Canon ZR-60 with G-RAID on internal bus, it didn’t work. With G-RAID on one bus and CAmera on the other, it worked. Certain other devices didn’t seem to mind the sharing. Don’t know quite why.

Thanks all. Appreciate the info. I’m probably going to get spare 5600mAh batteries by Impact through B&H for $120 each and they sell a charger (not also a camera power supply) for $35 too. These should suit my needs.

In the Quicktime player, under Window, Show Movie Properties, highlight the video track in the list, then select the tab called visual settings. There you’ll find the checkbox.

This white paper seems to have a lot of relevant info.

The increased keyframes to 100 came close–30 was even better. But it’s a long piece and the rest of the video was OK with 300, so it’s a high price to pay for just the first 10 sec. Is there a downside to using QT Pro to patch together the open with 30 keyframes and the rest of the piece with 100 and saving the result as self-contained? I did this and it seems to be OK. Thanks.

Bob,
See my answer to your earlier post. To that I’d add that, with my setup, I can capture Beta to either DVCPro50 or to 8-bit uncompressed. They both look very good and each has its advantages. The DV50 format uses a good compression method that keeps a lot of the original quality but doesn’t take a huge amount of drive space to capture. It’s not for purists, perhaps, but a good solution in the real world. I have no experience with the PhotoJPEG 75% codec, but I have a lot of confidence in those who advocate it. Good luck putting it all together. If you come close to having a setup in mind, post it and you’ll get good feedback.
