I'm currently editing the<br /> first episode to a new web series that I'm creating. I rented two field<br /> cameras from a TV station and shot the episode outside with both<br /> cameras. When I came back to edit, one camera had recorded the footage<br /> nicely, while the other recorded everything in a blue hue as if the<br /> camera had a blue filter on it (But it didn't).

I'm new here, but I love the site and I love the forums. </p> <p>I've worked in independent film for about 4 years, but mostly as a co-producer and sometimes Unit Production Manager. I'm just now getting my hands dirty with the technical stuff. I've shot weddings before and want to buy a prosumer camcorder for future weddings and short movies. The whole wedding thing kind of rules out the DSLRs that are so popular now.</p> <p>I've been leaning toward Panasonic. Particularly the HPX-170. But I'm concerned with using the P2 technology. I wanted to edit via FCE 4.0 on my Macbook Pro, but I'm discovering FCE doesn't support P2. </p> <p>I'm wary to try upgrading to Final Cut Studio for fear it will slow my laptop down immensely. But I also wanted the CCD sensors vs. the CMOS that Sony and Canon are putting in all their cameras now, which leaves Panasonic as my only option.</p> <p>I looked at the HVX200 because it records P2 AND Mini-DV but I want a camera that records 1080p and 24p, and I feel like there is no perfect option for what I want. Here's what I want to do:</p> <p>Price - $2000-$4000<br />XLR inputs <br />1080p and 24p<br />1/3" CCD (ideally)</p> <p>Any ideas? Please help! I'm drowning in specs.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/way-to-hold-scrolling-text-title-at-last-line-in-fce#post-65186 Sat, 29 Jan 2011 19:33:24 +0000 planewryter 65186@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi Mavens,</p> <p>In <strong>Final Cut Express</strong>, is there a way to "hold" (stop) a Scrolling Text Title at the last line?</p> <ul> <li>FYI: While I know this is possible in <em>Apple's LiveType;</em> this question is addressed specifically to <strong>FCE</strong>.</li> </ul> <p>Many thanks!</p> <p>Plane Wryter </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/which-hd-format#post-41929 Fri, 05 Dec 2008 11:52:37 +0000 Venzuelanhomedog 41929@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I have a jvc miniDV camcorder, and recently I have been thinking about getting into the HD craze. I have an iMac with Intel processors and Final Cut Express 4 installed, so I'm pretty sure I can edit in almost any format. I was wondering which HD format, and how it is saved, is the best (meaning looking best)? File size is not really an issue, because I have a 500GB external HDD. Is hard drive, memory stick, or tape best? What about HDV, AVCHD, or some other one?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/24-imac-for-editing#post-50926 Fri, 18 Sep 2009 14:59:40 +0000 The shooter 50926@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi,<br /> I was going to buy a wonderful Canon HFS100 but I realized that my old mac wouldn't handle HD. I now want to buy an new editing computer! I'm looking at a 24" iMac with 4GB RAM and a 1TB hard drive. I will be using Final Cut Express and a future AVCHD HFS100. Am I missing anything? Will this computer suit editing? Ideas?</p> <p>Thanks in advance for all your great ideas guys! </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/imac-super-slow-rendering-why#post-52901 Sat, 05 Dec 2009 20:30:07 +0000 bnixon 52901@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hey all,</p> <p>I have a white 24" iMac (first gen Intel chips) and am running Final Cut Express to do some painting lesson videos. These are pretty basic stuff with minimal effects. They are rendering super slow. A 20 minute video took 24 hours to export using the standard Vimeo HD quicktime settings.</p> <p>My machine has the max amount of ram 4 gigs with a internal 250 GB drive. I have several external Lacie drives hanging off of it for storage and backup. One 1TB on the FW800 port One 1TB on the FW400 Port and a 500GB off of the usb port. I have my source video files on the FW800 drive and the FCE project on the FW400 drive with all apps and os on the internal drive. All of the video is shot in full 1920X1080 HD from a Canon HF100 AVCHD</p> <p>I don't know where the bottle neck is...Bandwidth to the hard drives, lack of memory, or just processor speed. I would like to get this machine to perform reasonable so I don't have to purchase a new one.</p> <p>I am sure there is a way to improve the horrible speed but I am ignorant of how to setup this machine for higher performance. Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>thanks for your time,</p> <p>Brandon</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/please-help-me-choose-my-optimum-settings#post-49463 Sat, 25 Jul 2009 08:11:20 +0000 Erniewoof 49463@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I have a Sony Handycam HDR SR11.
