The tango plate will do that, but that was probably done on a remote head with a third axis.

If it is all you have and you know its limitations, use it sparingly if it looks very different from your other lenses.

Maybe. I inherited the project and had to recut the feature doc from scratch so there could have been some weird permissions errors.

I just wish X2Pro would translate through automation on the sound files instead of stripping them out. It also brings audio that is turned off/ disabled, even though I check ignore it (don’t include). This makes more work for the mixer. I’d imagine this is a bug.

No permission issues. I can read and write to the external RAID. No stock SFX from FCPX. It’s choking on the original synced ProRes footage. (done by the assistant editor, now long gone)

There was some Arri-Alexa footage, I don’t know the rest of the cameras. Some audio was shot to camera, some recorded double system.

You can’t select ignore errors in X2Pro or the AAF does come back empty– I got it to work by consolidating library command in FCPX. It moved all footage to consolidated folder and in X2Pro I pointed to that as the source– on the same RAID in the same folder, so… weird…

Primes are better because they are sharper. It’s easier to degrade or soften an image, either while shooting with a filter or in post, then it is to sharpen a soft lens.

With today’s high resolution sensors, a softer look is actually desired. This is why I tend to shoot with an ⅛ or ¼ black pro mist filter in the matte box.

Cine lenses are expensive and resolve a higher resolution.

You sort of get what you pay for. But remember, still lenses weren’t designed to shoot video, originally. Unless you buy a specific set of cine-lenses that are matched/calibrated, you just have to test and adjust your workflow accordingly.

Yes, the lens will look different as they aren’t matched like more expensive cine lenses. The primes are sharper and also better quality with less glass. The zoom has more elements and not as high quality.

You might try to add a sharpen to the zoom footage in the editing program you use, or create an overall look that hides the disparity. I like to shoot with black pro mists, ⅛ or ¼ depending, to soften the look over all as digital acquisition is overly sharp to me.

You could also soften the primes to match the zoom.
