Now, man we just edit shows and can't waste time with something we can't use. We edit reality, no matter what we are making, much of the time. For me, this means requiring a shot that wasn't a shot at all sometimes just to stitch the story together. A swish pan slowed down, a cut away you would have not logged... ect. My tapes are an hour long each. For this reason, most of my raw clips are as well.</p> <p>Asiistant editors use to capture, log, make notes, ect. (maybe even a rough cut) Now that's just a waste of budget more often than not. It's handy to have 8 hours of footage waiting for you in the moring without having to capture but I never needed their notes or descriptions or a timeline I delete. I need to watch the footage so I can edit the show. More and more we shoot what we edit anyway. The rough cut is in our heads then.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/capturing-long-clips#post-59963 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 10:16:01 +0000 ophelia 59963@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Thanks for the quick responses!</p> <p><em>Grinner</em> - your response actually nailed what I was trying to figure out.  In most cases, I don't want to divide up my clips, I just didn't know if this was an action I needed to un-learn.</p> <p><em>Birdcat </em>- actually, I was just trying out the Vegas Pro on a trial version - but I do like it.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/capturing-long-clips#post-59962 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 10:10:33 +0000 ayoung615 59962@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I use FCP and I usually give them different mark in and out points</p> <p>Ashanti Y</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/capturing-long-clips#post-59957 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 03:28:06 +0000 birdcat 59957@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi Ophelia - </p> <p>As I remember you use Vegas - There is a setting to have Vegas capture split the captured video into individual clips based on timecode.  That's usually what I do.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/capturing-long-clips#post-59952 Tue, 29 Jun 2010 20:34:24 +0000 grinner 59952@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I don't.

There are cases where Joe and Josephine Public have been stopped from photographing Joe Jnr swimming because "other children" might be in the photograph. As with many things British - the lawmakers go way over the top and prohibit everything just to protect something. Good to get an American slant on things,</p> <p>Thanks Grinner</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/police-checks-on-videographers#post-58247 Tue, 04 May 2010 10:37:43 +0000 grinner 58247@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> IN the US we just need a permit for public places (and don't really "need" that) and permission for shooting on private property. Technically we have to have releases signed by folks or their guardians to use thir likeness na video but not if we shoot ti at a public event. It's as easy as getting them to agree on camera though. I use no contracts/releases and I've never gotten a permit to shoot at a public place. I just do it. That's worked fine for more than a quarter of a century.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/police-checks-on-videographers#post-58239 Tue, 04 May 2010 09:10:20 +0000 bobcypheruk 58239@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Hi, being a Brit I am interested to know what, if any, restrictions or laws affect videographers in the USA with regard to filming, for instance, a school track &amp; field or gymnastics event.</p> <p>In Britain, we must have a CRB check, (Criminal Records Bureau) to certify that the applicant has never been convicted of a sexual crime. Schools, swimming pools and leisure centres have strict rules about filming sporting activities on their premises, To be honest, the rules are often ridiculous. </p> <p>This year, I filmed the Wales senior indoor track &amp; field championships but didn't record the junior champs because the age-groups involved were Under15s, Under17s and Under20s and if one parent had objected to having his or her son or daughter filmed, I would not have been able to film that particular race or event. I do put a clause in my contract that the client is responsible for obtaining permissions and the more enlightened clubs are realising that the type of publicity and exposure their club or sport can get is worth the effort of adding a disclaimer on their membership forms to be signed by the child's parent or guardian.</p> <p>I would be interested in any opinions or case histories that anyone might want to add to this thread.</p> <p>Bob</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/help-with-nonlinear-video-equipment#post-47067 Thu, 21 May 2009 18:05:56 +0000 candjvideo 47067@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> It really depends on how much your budget is.  You can go very conservative or hog wild.  The prices on everything from software to equipment is in a wide range. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/help-with-nonlinear-video-equipment#post-47060 Thu, 21 May 2009 15:42:19 +0000 marco 47060@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> i last year i started filming weddings and events i recently purchased a Sony HVR-HD1000u camera and a new top notch XPS pc.
