He will be surely missed by many Mac users. Where would we be without him pushing the limits? Coreece on "A newbie who is in over his head.....

Both are great formats and meant to be used with frame rates of 24fps, 25fps, 30fps. All three frame rates are great depending on your goal. Whatever frame rate your camera is set to is the frame rate that the file will convert to. 24 will give you move of a film look. 30 will give you more of a TV look. Your all set to go...

I've been searching high and low to find a way in which to get this camera to work with my iMac. Now that I've found a instructional video from JVC themselves, I still have some questions that I'm hoping you can help me with.Â 1. The video says to record in "1440 CBR" if I'm wanting to transfer the video to the computer via firewire using Quicktime Pro or another suitable program. It's my understanding from what I've read on the web, 1440 CBR only records at 27 frames per second when I believe the camera is capable of 30 frames per second. Will I notice any difference when I play back the video. 2. The video also says something about recording in FHD. I don't have a clue as to what FHD stands for. By using the FHD format, it states that I can transfer my video files to the Mac using a USB cable and then converting the files to AIC files. Does the FHD recording format record at a high frame rate than 1440 CBR or does it record at a lower frame rate? I want the best quality/frames per second from this camera. Any help that you can give me will be greatly appreciated.Â Here is the link to the JVC instructional video so you'll have an idea of what I'm trying to ask of you:<a href="http://media2.jvc.com/camcorder/macHD.mov">http://media2.jvc.com/camcorder/macHD.mov</a> Thanks a million........Â cyberdogg on "Starting a video-audio editing facility with a Mac Pro set-up?" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/starting-a-video-audio-editing-facility-with-a-mac-pro-set-up#post-35856 Mon, 07 Apr 2008 19:38:15 +0000 cyberdogg 35856@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ Forgive me for being a newbie. Introduction. I am a prospective director, producer, editor and cinematographer (videography) who plans to film and edit a feature length documentary and all I need is a sizable capital to make it happen. I have completed the 42-minute documentary short derived from YouTube under fair use (political footages, etc in conjunction with filmed speeches i.e. Malcolm X, historical facts and quotations) as a demonstration of my amateur filmmaking talent using (you may laugh) Windows Movie Maker. I have already sent the short burned on DVD-R to Artivist Film Festival and am awaiting acknowledgment of reception. I also sent the DVD-R copies to a main Internet-based composer who provided royalty-free music and sent him a royalty check in amount of $65 under fair licensing agreement laid out at his web site and to an author of underground non-fiction best-sellers. The latter, if he responds favorably to the short, might hook me up with the financiers who might provide what is termed "angel capital" needed to fund the production budget. That's the purpose of the short. Anyway, here's the question & detail that I think will get me started provided I take college classes (multimedia lab) and teach myself perusing the books on how to use the programs in step by step process. ____________________ What's the list of softwares and hardwares needed to form a new production studio? Add if necessary, I'd like to know what specialty softwares used by professional video editors to edit and develop visual fx shots. The basic I came up with for production from development to pre to shooting to post to marketing are as follows: Power Mac 8-core with mid or high-end video card & at least 8 gigabits of RAM modules WD MyBook 2 TB External HD Final Cut Pro Studio 2 Audio Logic 8 Adobe Creative Suite 3 Production Premium FileMaker Bento (track production, tasks & contacts) Gorilla Film Production Software (track payroll, budget & submit info on 1,200+ film festivals) Final Draft or Movie Magic Screenwriter Optional - Autodesk Maya, Pixar Renderman, Apple Shake and/or Nuke Of course, the above list will cost me up to 10k as the starting point. I know it seems like jumping into the pond, to use the expression. And I would opt to rent high-end video and sound equipment. It's a common knowledge Panavision do not sell the movie cameras, only rental for as much as 3,000 a day depending on model, configuration and with camera technician on hand. I would film in HD digital and sometimes 35mm traditional film stock (Kodak). EDIT: I bought the following books at B&N - How to Shoot a Feature Film for under $10,000* (*and not go to jail) by Bret Stern The 101 Habits of Highly Successful Screenwriters by Karl Iglesias The Portable Film School by D.B. Giles How to Write a Movie in 21 Days: The Inner Movie Method by Viki King The Guerilla Filmmakers Handbook by Genevieve Jolliffe & Chris Jones The Power Filmmaking Kit by Jason TomaricÂ
