NOW, im monitoring via firewire to the dsr1500, them out of its RYB into the RYB in of my sony pvm. here is my dilema: ALL my color correction work is now crazy-ass satuby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: TV Off Plug in - 18 years agoi dont think that faking it with motion effects is gonna do the trick here. you can buy a clip of this at veer.com. its not quite the one your talking about, but it does convey a reasonably similar mood: it aint cheap as a single download OR as a full volume... it would be probably cheaper to go to an old antique store and just buy an old tv and shoot it yourself.by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Spinning down LaCie Disks - 18 years agoim having the same issue with a single extra internal sata capture drive and i have all sleep settings set to never - i think its an OS issueby wayne granzin - Café LA dv, dvcam, dvcpro... - 18 years agook, im shooting a canon xl2 and im pretty happy with the output. but im wondering what the next steps are and whether they justify their costs... as im told, dv and dvcam result in similar quality results. the next jump is to the dvcpro level which from a camera perspective puts me at a 2x and plus dollar point ($10k, $20k, $30 or more) and im not sure from a straight "shooting" standby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Great Plug-ins for FCP - 18 years agofcp isnt really a super powerful effect venue. i say go with after effetcs and your world will open up a good bit. genarts saphire are fantastic - but though a free additional install, they SUCK in FCPby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Rendering Hardware for Faster Renders - 18 years agosorry - no luck. it is what it is... as of press time anyway...by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: HDV to DVD 16X9 - 18 years agothe best thing i have found to do to maintain any kind of quality going to SD DVD is to finish your sequence, create a new uncompressed sequence (anamorphic) and drop your HDV sequence into that. then export a reference movie of that and open that in dvdspro. quality still in my opinion isnt as good as a well shot SD video... another reason i dont shoot HDV.by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: batch in-out export - 18 years agobeautiful guys! you all saved my day!by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: batch in-out export - 18 years agothanks nick, you saved my bacon!!! one more question... i have to modify all 160 clips using motion tab > distort > aspect ratio. is there a way to do that once for all of them instead of one by one by one...???by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: HD monitors - 18 years agook, back up a bit... what are you shooting and what are you trying to do?by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: quicktime export problem - urgent! - 18 years ago"export ---> quicktime --> use current settings": from my experience - pretty much means only a similarly equipped mac will play it back... youre trying to pass off a full res - full motion clip to a different platform, of course its not going to play!!!!! "quicktime" can mean a LOT of different things............ what exactly are you trying to achieve here?by wayne granzin - Café LA batch in-out export - 18 years agoi have a 2 hour long meeting i shot and just captured "now" in big long chunks. the client came in, sat over my shoulder identifying the good clips. i would just razor blade the good bits and move them to a seperate track. now we have about 97 small clips all seperated by a half second or so gaps, and they want each as individual avi files. is there a way for FCP (or a third paty appby wayne granzin - Café LA drive space??? - 18 years agoi just had a client pop up who needs to capture like 2 full hours of footage and that would fill whats left of my capture drive. is there any reason why it would not be advisable to just go buy another INTERNAL sata drive, pull out my current capture drive for the day and pop a new one in, then replace my old one tomorrow? is that going to create problems for the boot disk, seeing variable secoby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: What to get for editing on-site candids - 18 years agook, im not following your question... so the choices youre thinking of are: - older powerbook - last seasons imac G5 - intel macbook - intel mac mini it depends on what you do on a general basis? do you do a lot of heavy rendering? do you burn a lot of DVD's? do you use a lot of other apps like adobe creative suite, after effects or macromedia studio?by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: hassles while shooting! - 18 years agothis is houston man, there is such a dearth of anything cool there that they'd likely ask - "where do i sign?" which leads me to think - this is houston, people arent used to seeing cameras and cranes and steadicams here... maybe thats my problem. thats it. im selling my house and moving to LA!!!!!!!!by wayne granzin - Café LA linear wipe filter, NOT transition - 18 years agoanyone know of a good linear wipe filter - not just a transition. im currently using the genarts saphire filter but its introducing all kinds of render problems...by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Black and White - 18 years agoOH GOD NO!!!!, what if for some reason you want to go back to color one day???by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: hassles while shooting! - 18 years agoahhh CRAP! 6th grade flash back!!!!!! "in the navy, we can sail the seven seas..."by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Canon XLH1 vs Sony Z1U; Promax - 18 years agook, here i go again. first off, lets clear one thing up - NEITHER of these cameras is HD, they are both HDV and in my opinion HDV sucks - PERIOD. its a transitional format at best and its ridiculously compressed mpeg2. if you are doing wildlife images, it very well may be ok for you. just dont for the love of God EVER MOVE THE CAMERA! i did extensive shooting with the Z1, HD100 and a decentby wayne granzin - Café LA hassles while shooting! - 18 years agook, maybe im just having a cranky day, but is anyone else totally sick of joe-every-guy on the street bothering you about what youre doing when shooting in public???? probably 96% of every shoot i have on a public street, in a park, at an office building, etc... - some jack-hole walks up or drives up and either looks over my shoulder or asks crap like "are you making a movie?", "wby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: DVD footage import - 18 years agodo a search of the forum for "dvd footage" "importing dvd" "dvd into fcp" or things like that. we have covered this topic in EXCRUTIATING detail from both a technical and legal standpoint sooooooooooooo many times already. a quick primer of things you'll need: mactheripper - gets footage to your drive dvdxdv or mpegstreamclip - gets it to a format that FCP can seeby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: use hard drive for fcp - 18 years agoi gotta say that for the last 6+ years i have been using the following connectivity: canonXL camera or sony dsr deck > firewire400 to (1 to 3) promax drive(s) > firewire400 to back of mac. and i never missed a beat. maybe had about 10 dropped frame warnings a year at the suggestion of many on this forum, i installed a second internal seagate 300 gig sata drive as my scratch drive and nowby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: out of memory!? - 18 years agowhat format and resolution is that image?by wayne granzin - Café LA UPS (power supply) suggestions...? - 18 years agodont know if this made news outside of texas, but we (like CA did last summer) are beginning to suffer from "rolling blackouts". i lost about 45 min or work yesterday afternoon when city blocks began slowly dropping power - FUN!!!! just wonding what brand/model of UPS you all are using and which features i should look for. thanks for any info - wGby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: OT: Rates - 18 years agoprecisely CHL, im 37 and have been in the NLE world since the "video spiggot" days.
