But like any any tool, knowing it helps you get your best results. </p> <p>Any camcorder using MPEG style compression (MPEG-2, AVC, etc) will have some limitations you won't have with DV models. Simple put, when you have any interframe compression (one frame dependent on subsequent or previous frames... all MPEG algorithms use this), you will absolutely be able to move the camera fast enough to pretty much destroy your video. Unlike most of the camcorders I have used, the TM700 is at least polite enough to suggest you slow down when you do move the camera too fast. </p> <p>I have used the TM700 as a "B" camera on quite a few projects (HMC40 is the "A" camera) that went to Blu-ray, internet, and DVD. You will not see the quality of the HD video on DVD... not even close.  The TM700 is shooting at full HD resolution, DVD has only 1/6th the spatial resolution. </p> <p> But you can deliver video that is as good as anything you can put on DVD... and in fact, better than any DV camcorder used for DVD (particularly NTSC DV to NTSC DVD, since DV25 in NTSC is encoded in 4:1:1 color, DVD in 4:2:0 color, so you're actually subsampling color twice on the way from realty to DVD if you use DV in-between). </p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/hdc-tm700-artifacts#post-67673 Wed, 04 May 2011 19:28:44 +0000 hoverboy 67673@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I've burned several DVDs and have had consistently sharp footage.  I'm not even using higher end editing suites at the moment, simply iMovie.  The quality is excellent and shows of the footage, camera and HD tv brilliantly.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/hdc-tm700-artifacts#post-65644 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 11:11:18 +0000 edwardt53 65644@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I recently purchased a Panasonic TM700 after reading all the positive reviews.</p> <p>My question is after recording high definition video that looks great on your computer and also looks great playing directly from you camcorder to your television. Have you beenable to burn a DVD that has that same clean crisp image? I know that blu-ray would maintainhigher quality. But have you had success burning DVDs that play on standard players withoutgetting soft rather than crisp images?</p> <p>I edited some clips in Premiere Pro CS4 on my little MAC and exported it out to a quicktime .mov file.<br />I tried burning one yesterday ... the footage looks good until it is burned to DVDwhen a obvious loss of sharpness is evident. It doesn't look terrible, but it is not near as good as the original footage.<br />Have you had to deal with this yet?

I just hope like one of the VIV mag's creator's said that, "This was not motion for motion's sake, this is still print in spirit...." If those outfits who go into this area keep that in mind, 'Motion Magazines', etc. will be very distinct from traditional Motion Picture products. </p> <p>I don't really think the iPad has 'revolutionized' anything. The tech is actually 'old' (in tech years) and isn't any real improvement over the iPhone Touch except for the larger viewing area and some more drive space (64GB fixed hard drive? Come on!) However, as always I will give Apple it's props for it's 'Hype Machine' and how that does move people into creating stuff to support their products. </p> <p>But this thing is going to be bigger than anything Apple planned on cornering the market on. This kind of production will work on mobile devices, netbooks and other tablet devices too. With Adobe making Flash available for all of these devices, there will be plenty of work to go around!</p> <p>Neil,</p> <p>You definitely don't want to 'chase technology'. However as you said about making the transition to HD, 'eventually you'll have to wave goodbye to your old gear'. I do still have my SD rigs as they still produce a fine image (I've still got my old Hi-8 rig on active duty!) You never know when you'll need an 'offbeat' look to put in with your HD footage. They can be used like the old days when TV shows shot entirely on film to represent 'the real world' and incorporate video footage to show television.</p> <p>I'm like you as I hang back a bit to wait for the 'bugs' to get worked out, manuals to be written and for realistic workflows to develop. I have to admit though, I will be scraping up some cash to upgrade from CS3 to 5. I always skip an update with Adobe. I learned way back when not to run out and buy every time they come out with an update (x.0, x.5, x.0). That get's way too expensive.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/where-all-of-this-stuff-is-going#post-57339 Mon, 12 Apr 2010 20:28:26 +0000 neilrussell 57339@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Rob,</p> <p>Thanks for the info on Zbrush, looks like it is actually not a sky-high priced package.

The all Digital Magazine 'VIV' recently shot their issues' cover and a layout feature completely for the motion mag format. The production shot using live actors, props, and greenscreen with the RED EPIC. Though their project was primarily for the 'i' line of Apple products, I can fully see the potential for this type of work for other devices as well. Take a look at what was done. Though VIV had money to throw at the project, you could with your existing gear produce similar styled content with high production values.</p> <p><a href="http://vimeo.com/10204353">VIV Mag Featurette: A Digital Magazine Motion Cover and Feature for the iPad</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user1257445">Alexx Henry</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/digital-magazine-motion-cover-and-feature-for-the-ipad#post-56503 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 16:32:36 +0000 Derek Sine 56503@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>The iPad is only a few weeks away!</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://vimeo.com/10207926" rel="nofollow">http://vimeo.com/10207926</a></p> <p>Behind the scenes:</p> <p><a href="http://vimeo.com/10204353" rel="nofollow">http://vimeo.com/10204353</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Check out the content in full: <a href="http://www.alexxhenry.com/ipad/ipad.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.alexxhenry.com/ipad/ipad.html</a> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/vegas-pro-8-slow-motion-movementsmm#post-43650 Thu, 05 Feb 2009 06:52:41 +0000 Johnboy 43650@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>the video will look blurry because you are taking video at 29.97 frames per second and stretching it out for slow motion.  Vegas will try to interpolate the frames in order to fill the gaps.  you can try different interpolation methods.  also if this video is to be viewed on the computer or LCD screen, render progressive and not interlaced.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/vegas-pro-8-slow-motion-movementsmm#post-43612 Wed, 04 Feb 2009 15:52:18 +0000 RockstarRider 43612@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>when i render my video on sony vegas pro 8 the video looks blurry, especially when the clip is in slow motion.
