Choosing a 3-chip camera - Jon Burkhart It still sounds like a head alignment issue to me, too. I've never seen the problem and I work constantly with footage from three different XL1 cameras made very early in the start of Canon's production. I suspect the camera may have recieved a hard jolt of some sort. If it were mine, I'd send it to a DIFFERENT Canon service center for evaluation. About selecting a camera. For me, I love the "warm fuzzy" look of people shot with the XL1 as opposed to Sony. Yes, I can hear the chuckles now (the Old Fart probably shoots out of focus most of the time anyway). Also, with the early viewfinders on the cameras it was really hard to see focus. But a young man who works on a local news magazine show stopped by my office yesterday and commented how nice the people looked on a piece I had shot for the show. He has always shot with Sony cameras. Well, yes, lighting is a part of it but I think I may have a convert in the making ;^) Gotta go. I hear footsteps and the sound of an angry mob!

No one has met my price, yet ;^) I just like the camera and what I can do with it. Aloha, Jon Burkhart Dick Lague wrote: > > Does Cannon send you a monthly check?

Jon, Whoops... I've been editing NLE for a few years (thinking in terms of years isn't nice... haha). About 6 months ago, I did a few projects on a linear system. I found that to be 'frustrating' and nerve wracking. Each night I'd get home to my system and really appreciate how technology has come along. "Instant access" is a beautiful thing. I discovered a new respect for linear editors and the amazing work that's been turned out over the years on them (understatement). Not too long ago, I read something about when the first Avid's were introduced to PBS/WGBH in Boston, only a handful of the 24 staff editors gave them a shot. Wow! It (LE) is an experience every NLE editor should have at least once. It was a trip listening to the decks rewind, FF and hit their marks. It wasn't my gear, but I kept cringing when I'd think of the wear on the motors, and the editor before me BANGING on the shuttle/jog, etc... . I found it kind of fascinating to see how NLE's developed as far as features and tools being adapted from linear editors. Valerie Edition Launch in LA - May 22 - Jon Burkhart Ooo! A full bar. Sorry I can't be there. Sounds like a very interesting show.

Film transfer and Attack of the Clones - "Perry Mitchell" From:Robert Reilly Just in case anyone is interested, and since many on this list intend to produce digital features for a later transfer to film, Roger Ebert has a review of the new Star Wars "film". He makes some interesting points on digital to film transfer and how this new Lucasfilm looked on the biggest screen in Chicago. Wondering if anyone has any more insight to bring to this topic. Robert Tokyo, Japan. Getting into the business - Jon Burkhart And stay with us here on the DVList. You'll be surprised what you may learn. If being a bit long in the tooth was a reason NOT to take up DV production, I would never have gotten involved. Done well, it can give you a great sense of accomplishment.

Premiere - Jon Burkhart No Bruce. Make that TWO of us who are totally amazed on a daily basis that any of this stuff works "at all". And, I really mean it! Take heed folks. Between Bruce and I have been doing TV stuff 80 years or so. Aloha, Jon Burkhart "Bruce A.

Don't know nuthin' about MIDI. It always looked like a wonderful opportunity for all participants to say: "It's not MY interface that's screwed up, it's that other guy's interface. Soon, no one is talking to anyone else much less the pieces of equipment talking to each other. My current chuckle is how easy some TV commercials make it look to do your own DVDs while I beat my head against the wall getting just the right compression for some difficult video projects.

A couple of years ago it seemed Avid and Canopus were cooperating with one another. Wonder what happened? Aloha, Jon Burkhart "Bruce A.

All this because of the reliable, intuitive way of working. That's been the case for me with Xpress DV 3. I haven't mastered it yet, but I'm working much more efficiently, and 'enjoying it'. >Adobe maybe stopped listening to it's customers' needs and took it's >success for granted. Maybe, maybe not. Who do you think their target customer is? AP is bundled in sub packages with 1394 cards (Pinnacle, ADS). It could be similar to a MS brand name association (Hey, Frontpage is made by MS... it must be good). I wonder if the next AP will be geared towards "Put your home movies and VHS tapes on DVD!!!". Kinda ironic since the non Avid uncompressed systems (Toaster, DigiSuite and DPS) all work with Premiere. >FCP bridged a gap between the consumer and the professional end of NLE. Hmmm.. maybe. I'm considering spending big bucks (a loan) to get a G4 and either a CineWave or Digital Voodoo card. FCP is pretty amazing for it's hardware scalability. To go from an Xpress DV 3 to Xpress is about . Now if it was to jump to Media Composer v11 (not released yet), that would be competitive. What would Avid's customers who paid $$$??? for MC v10 think about that? >Adobe loses 'consumer' editors because of all the stability problems I think that's a problem inherent with the user base. People who are just getting started don't realize that editing and capturing is pretty system heavy stuff. Probe a bit and you find that someone is trying to capture dv or whatever while connected to the net, with AOL messenger on, their email client is running and they have 2 gigs of a 30 gig system drive free that they are capping to. I think AP is pretty good in regards to it's requirements. >Avid loses 'professional' editors because they are tired of spending >every penny they earn on hardware and expensive updates. Pretty true. I posted a question about the ProMax and Laird boxes here a few days ago. A plus for Avid is that I could offline here in dv from BetaSP and pretty easily send it out to online on MC or whatever. When XDV 3 comes out for the Mac (June 24th says Charles from ProMax), that will be interesting. I wonder how many FCP users do anything but dv? I hear FCP is making a dent in a lot of production houses, but there are a lot of Avid systems out there. A lot. Some are pretty old, but still in real world usage. I recently did some animations in AE for a station ID that was onlined in MC v7x Mac. The facility is one of the biggest and well known here in San Francisco. Because they were 3 releases behind, none of my QT codecs would work. I had to render out .tga sequences and burn them on multiple cd's so the guy could use them. Then the editor called me to ask how to change the default still image import from 1 sec to 1/30th of a second. I got a good laugh. I digress. AP, we shall see. What ever happened to Dimensions v3 or Streamline v4? I wish Macromedia held onto FCP. I guess it woudn't have been Mac only. Wow, this was long.
