Re: OT: Rates - 17 years agothe big problem with the music/video/movie industry is that there is always some star struck twit who is willing to work for practically nothing. thats just the way it is. even here in TX, everyone wants to be in austin, cause thats were all the supposed "cool stuff" goes on. the same project that gets you $85-$125 per hour here in houston, is likely only to bring $40-$65 or less jusby wayne granzin - Café LA intel macs and adobe software... - 17 years agoi had the opportunity to install and run the current shipping version of adobes CS suite of graphic tools (CS2) on a 15" intel dual core 2.x mac laptop. it behaved seemingly quite well, but there was a discernable lag (nowhere near as brisk as my older dual 2.0 g5) in overall response. keep in mind, i didnt test anything really horsepower intensive... i'll get to that later this week and gby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: MPEG-2 - 17 years agoi have tested all the default "DVD-ready" settings in compressor and they are all slow as christmas and the results suck ass quality wise. maybe there is something that compressor does for the hardcore manual compression-heads that i just dont see, but from all ive seen from compressor its a total waste of time that results in **** quality... not to mention the fact that the interfaceby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: LX2 @ 24p - 17 years agodo you mean canon XL2? i have one, and ive done all the testing. i find it FAR better to shoot 60i then do a software deinterlace or 24p in post. i shoot everything in 16:9, 60i then do the 24p with natress film filters or the fcp deinterlace in post, and im a MUCH happier guy.by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: OT: Rates - 17 years agodepends on what youre doing, what your experience level and market area are... i charge $1200/day and i have yet to have a legitimate client bark at that. BUT, keep in mind - im in houston tx and we dont have a thousand desperate kids clamoring for would be "cinema" dollars. but do the math - $350/8 = $43.75 check with any agency who places people at your experience level in your arby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: HDV & SD same timeline problems. - 17 years agodo the math man. you cant cover a bed with a beachtowel. but here is something that may help:by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Audio help please! - 17 years agoyeah, in listening back to it, i was pretty impressed with the result. not bad for a bundled application... just sampled a section of ac sound, did the noise print and processed it at something like 60%. and if i recall, i also added a small bit of EQ as well. but thats subjectiveby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: use hard drive for fcp - 17 years agono, not really, but FCP like to see a camera or deck when it launches, so as long as the HD and camera are both on before you launch fcp, youre cool. youre really cool anyway, you can just go to view > refresh av devices. a lot of what youre doing has to do with the brand/model of your deck/camera and hard drive. ive found some devices (mostly of the non-pro level) sometimes dont play niceby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: FireWire Drive Cases - Which is better, Plastic or Metal? - 17 years agowhat matters in an enclosure is whether its actively (fan) cooled or passively (heat sink) cooled and what modle fw chipset it has. i say, fan cooled and oxford chipset ONLYby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: use hard drive for fcp - 17 years agoif im capturing from my camera, t goes like this. camera > firewire cable into hard drive > firewire cable into rear port on computer doneby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: use hard drive for fcp - 17 years agooh, and in case you dont know where to change your scratch disc: pull down the FCP menu (top of screen) to "system settings" and its the first thing that pops up - pretty self explanatory from there...by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: use hard drive for fcp - 17 years agoall you have to do is change your FCP scratch disc to that drive location. what kind of external drive are you using? hope its a firewire and not a usb...by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: MPEG-2 - 17 years agoyeah scott (T), i can clarify that. file > export > quicktime movie... at the bottom of the next window, you will see 2 checkboxes: 1. recompress all frames and 2. make movie self contained. leave them both UNCHECKED, create a new folder, and save your movie into that. import that folder into your dvdspro project and youre done - let dvdspro make the mepg for you on the fly. i have fouby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Audio help please! - 17 years agoyeah, id say for the money they do a pretty good job of both cutting out external noise and giving me a reasonable freq range. now im no bit head when it comes to audio, so i cant give a bunch of xyz db at abc Khz appraisal, but they have yet to fail me for watching target levels (or hearing mic anomalies) and they are decently comfy over long periods of wear. they are fairly big and puffy soby wayne granzin - Café LA audio tracks # question... - 17 years agook, let's say i have a sequence with a total of say 6 layers of video. and a variety of synced, score, ambient and various other audio elements that make up 6 to 8 various audio tracks. more often than not only 4 audio tracks will be active at a given moment. will FCP be happier playback wise if i were to unlink and move the audio parts such that they sat on only 3 or 4 tracks instead of just wby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: MPEG-2 - 17 years agojust export a reference movie (non recompressed and non self contained). it only takes a very short time and as long as your write the dvd on the same local machine, you can drop that right into dvdspro and youre off to the races...by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: dsr1500??? - 17 years agoim not certian about that... the guy didnt know how to check and i havent used one before so i couldnt give him instructions... i am though picking it up in person and was told that im welcome to put it through its paces before accepting it.by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Do I need SDI for uncompressed SD? - 17 years agook, graeme, i need some clarity here (pun intended). i just bought a sony dsr1500 (with sdi, analog and FW option). im shooting with an xl2 to mini DV. i read in an earlier thread that you mention that one may see a bump in quality if you bring in mini DV via SDI. about 95% of my work goes to DVD for projection. and 99% is rather graphic intensive. im looking for ANY quality increase i can fby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: dsr1500??? - 17 years agodo either of you ever use the SDI out of the deck to a capture card for uncompressed work?by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: there HAS to be a WAY... - 17 years agoyeah, i normally use that little scale tool at teh lower left of the timeline - and YES, it SUCKS!. i just wish there was a MORE NOTICEABLE marked (by color or significant mark size) point in the time ruler at even seconds... i know there is now, its just not significant. i mean rulers have them, speedometers have them, thermometers have them - why shouldnt FCP.by wayne granzin - Café LA dsr1500??? - 17 years agohey, im reading on the forum here that there are firewire issues with the sony dsr1500 deck. but all those posts are 3 to 4 years old. does anyone here have any experience with the dsr1500 and the newer (2 year old or newer) G5's??? i just picked one up on ebay loaded with every possible option - analog, sdi, firewire for what i think was a song ($2550)by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Audio help please! - 17 years agoi keep a set of Sony MDR7506 headphones in my cable bag - best $99 you can spendby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: there HAS to be a WAY... - 17 years agoi just like to have a general idea of where i am in reference to a full second. its just a neurosis that i became cozy with in my premiere and media100 days. when im very much zoomed in or out i kind of lose visual reference of relative lengths - maybe im just insane...by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Quad 2.5 GHz G5 Now, Or Wait For Intel Equivalent? - 17 years agohahahahahaha - point taken man.by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Quad 2.5 GHz G5 Now, Or Wait For Intel Equivalent? - 17 years agosee joey, we CAN get along sometimes ; )by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Quad 2.5 GHz G5 Now, Or Wait For Intel Equivalent? - 17 years agoyeah, deb, but the only problem is that about 80% of the value of using windows in the first place is for internet and other more seamless communication uses with the other 90% of the world... i was talking with a good buddy a few days ago and the way we see the "mactel" situation evolving is that you'll have one box (a mini or macbook for instance) who's sole purpose is connectivityby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Quad 2.5 GHz G5 Now, Or Wait For Intel Equivalent? - 17 years agoi wasnt trying to take credit for it... i just seem to recall my asking you a while back if youd heard of it or tried it, and repeatedly (and rather proudly) you responded "i dont need it"...by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: there HAS to be a WAY... - 17 years agoim just picky - having cut my teeth on premiere and media100, i just got used to being able to clearly see 1 second increments...by wayne granzin - Café LA there HAS to be a WAY... - 17 years agook, i have to admit to you all here that i learned FCP on the fly back in 1999, as an old school media100 guy (at the suggestion of rene over at promax - thanks rene for saving me like $30,000). but as such, i learned mid project, so i missed a lot of the FCP fundamentals... is there (for the love of GOD!!!!) a way to magnify the timeline straight down to the 1 second level?, i dont want two seby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Rode NT-1 microphone - 17 years agoman, we could go on for pages about "horses for courses" mic wise. if one wanted to one could line up two dozen $2000+ mics and each one would sound a bit different. a lot of it comes down to what you as an audio engineer likes and what you are trying to capture. personally, ive only gone as esoteric as the neumann u87 (or u - whatever that classic $3000 model is) and from what iveby wayne granzin - Café LA |
