That’s priceless.”Agree 100%. I may not be getting uber wealthy, but we’ve built this from the ground up and it’s something my wife and I are proud of.

August 19, 2012 at 7:10 pm in reply to: How to become a millionaire with your current video businessI’m not sure if it’ll make you a millionaire, but this is the three part series I created for the Cow a few years ago outlining my business advice for those getting into this industry. I’ve been fortunate to have this current company for 11 years and have expanded the company twice during that time. Soon I’ll be able to write about an entirely new venture we’re kicking off.
Yes, you MUST have a partner who believes in you whether that be your spouse, brother, sister, mother, best friend, whatever. Not necessarily a business partner, cause that didn’t work for me in the past, but definitely some partner to help you on the path to success.

[Jason Jenkins] “I don’t know why, but the cross conversion looks pretty crappy. I am using “native” 1080p avchd media in a 720p timeline. I wonder if it would do better if I transcoded to ProRes.”
What? 1080p material should be in a 1080p timeline and then you let the IoXT covert that to 720p on output. No wonder the footage looks so bad, FCP does horribly crappy conversions and that’s what you have going on right now. FCP is converting that footage in the timeline instead of the IoXT.

I have nothing further to discuss with you. I’ll deem all my company operations completely private and not to be shared with you from this point forward.
Have a nice day.

[Jason Jenkins] “Panasonic BT-lh1700w monitor says “unsupported signal”. If I set it to 720p 59.94, the picture looks good but the playback stutters.”
Does that monitor actually support 23.98 playback? I see nothing in the specs about it.
Many monitors, even broadcast monitors, do not support true 23.98 playback. The signal needs to be converted to 59.94 or 29.97 to show up which is why all the AJA products perform a realtime 23.98 to 29.97 / 59.94 conversion on output.
All of the Flanders Scientific monitors we run here have true 23.98 output display which is one of the reasons we run them.

He’s not asking for your personal information, he’s just asking where can we see examples of your work?
Like our work can be seen on the Food Network (seasons 9 – 12 of Good Eats), PBS (The American Land, thisamericanland.org, Foul Water Fiery Serpent, foulwaterfieryserpent.org) Global Health Frontline News which has appeared on CNN, ABC, BBC and China broadcast, (ghfn.org) and others. And there are additional samples of our work on biscardicreative.com in the gallery.
So Ned is just asking where can we see examples of your programming? What website should we be going to so we can view programming you’ve produced? Nothing secret about that.
