As you might have guessed by my post count, I've been here, and in tv for awhile...almost 17 years. I've had a few extremely valuable people over the years, but in my current position, I find myself in a spot where there really isn't anyone to learn from. I have mastered the basics and am...

Here is my goal-have a continual one hour loop of audio recording of audio that is playing out of the audio section of a computer...in this case, recording the online playback of a scanner feed, like on radioreference.com so that we could hopefully scrub back and try and relisten to scanner...

Anyone here do part time stock video shooting sales on pond5, istockvideo, etc? Is it worth the time and effort? Thoughts in general?

Our cams plug in via HDSDI to the truck then through a rudimentary switcher. We get both main and nat mic....and of course the nat mic is bad for the live shots. Do they make an audio splitter that stays HDSDI and in sync so we can avoid having to turn off the nat channel, since that...

Trying to find a wireless audio monitoring system off of the camera for monitoring nats etc without being tethered. Anyone heard of the Wi Audiolink system? I've heard everything from the guy at Guitar Center tell me it had no noticeable delay to reviews online saying it was unusable because...

Do you or your station or company have a bunch of empty XDCam cases sitting around that you are pretty sure will one day just end up in the dumpster? I'm trying to ideally find a few dozen, but any will work. I'll pay shipping.

It starts with dreaming about the ease of just handing over extra XD discs instead of having to shuffle P2 cards on an upcoming trip... He replies with "I hope we never go back to XDCam" I ask why. He says it is only SD. To which, in all fairness, we came from PDW530's. I say no, it can be...

Hello- Scheduled to ship out for six days to shoot aboard a carrier. Any tips?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2249562/Award-winning-NBC-News-foreign-correspondent-Richard-Engel-missing-Syria-Thursday.html Lots of interesting information in the article that I didn't know about him. Hoping for the best...never met him, but he seems like a sincere, dedicated, nice guy.

I need to export Grass Valley News Edit HD AVI files...convert them and put them on a P2 card to a format that the HPX370 can play back out via HDSDI...any ideas on a software solution?

I hope that I can coerce some of the longtime lurkers to chime in here... For the established freelancers here, how did you take the plunge? How long did it take you to be making a "living" wage? Did you just beat down doors or did you have a "buddy who knew someone who needed help"? Do you...

Is it me or is it now trendy to shoot like you have thrown all the framing rules out the window or never learned them to begin with? Symptom of hire em young and cheap? Not all productions of course...but an increasing number I have noticed this occurring.

Im using PP CS4...new to it. I am trying to take video that was shot as 4:3 but ingested as 16:9 and both crop out the black side pillars and render it for the web in half size such as 360x240...anyone kind enough to help?

Anyone know what it is shot on? I'm guessing F3...

I've been doing some genealogy lately...and Memorial Day seemed like a good day to bring this up. I've discovered that one branch of the family tree has quite the history. One relative came over with William Penn in 1683 and was there when he signed the treaty with the Indians. Fast forward...
