I don’t have any suggestions other than a trip to a Canon service center is probably in order. Btw… the built in cam mic was always supposed to be “loose” as a form of shock absorption. I have never had any use for the built in mic, so if mine ever broke like yours I wouldn’t really care, until I decided to sell it 🙂

Having manual control over the aperture and opening it up would have corrected this although you would be blowing out the background, but at least your subject would be better exposed. That’s about all you can do without any control over lighting. And even if I had control over lighting I’d still want control of the aperture.
I always shoot in TV (time value) mode, with EXP LOCK (exposure lock) activated. It’s the same as running in manual mode unless EXP LOCK is deactivated, then the aperture is automatic. HTH.

In addition to Todd’s comments, shooting automatic, especially in this example, is definitely a no-no.

Hi Dirk. Thanks for responding. I’ve been using various combinations of filters from BCC to achieve a similar “twitch” look for transitions. Using BCC’s DVE for scaling, positioning, etc. and various color, blur and glow filters to achieve this but the overall keyframing is exhausting.
Today I was experimenting with the Sapphire 2 Shake filter and it’s random generator nearly always give satisfying results with minimal keyframing, so I’ll wait and see if you guys come up with something in the future. Thanks again.

I take that as a no. 😀

Seems her profile has been deleted as well, poor thing. That’s pretty aggressive :-

Go the post route. You’ll have much more selective control

Umm… the EX1 is a Sony.
The A1s is a Canon.

I don’t know what I’m missing in the original post, but something doesn’t make sense. Also, if you wanted to do this in real time, as Kris said Avid can’t but FCP can, is simply untrue. It’s called Automation Gain.

Consolidate only re-creates the media used in the sequence, clips and pre-computes (any effects & filters), etc. A video mixdown creates a separate file altogether as it’s own. The only issue is mixdowns don’t have timecode associated with it, so you would have to sync manually in the timeline.
