Re: Canon 7D

I did find that I could keep Edius going for ages by doing the following: - 1 When you first load the demo of Edius make a note of the PC's date and time you started and shutdown the PC. 2 Next time you start the PC go into the BIOS and change the date and time to 1 minute after you last shutdown th...

Re: SONY HXR MC 50E

Billy The August issue of the IAC mag will have an article on AVCHD camcorders and then the issue after that will be about PC's and editing. If your i7 is quad 3Ghz, 6Gb RAM and your graphics card CUDA and you have fast enough hard drives then you should be OK to edit native AVCHD files, if it is no...

Re: USB EXTERAL HARD DRIVE !!!

1 If the PC sees the drive in Device Manager then you can try uninstalling the drivers and install the original ones that came with the drive or download new ones and point windows in their location when they are being requested by windows. 2 Try it on someone elses' PC. 3 Remove the drive from the ...

Re: SUPPORT YOU LOCAL SHER... CLUB/FESTIVAL

Willy As the nearest club to Morecambe there is no rivalry between ourselves just a respect of the capabilities of of each club/member. I cannot, nor will not make excuses for another club member but I for one had a prior commitment and could not attend. I know that some of Morecambe's own members d...

Re: Canon 7D

I use Edius Neo but a considerable number use a Mac and FCP. As with most AVCHD video not many editing packages natively edit the MTS files, they have to be transcoded. If you do not transcode you need a very fast, high specified PC to play back the files without a stuttering timeline. FCP uses a si...

Re: Canon 7D

I also have the 7D and it is brilliant. To get the best out of it you need to tweak a few settings, see: - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKS_Y_nRmUk http://www.vimeo.com/7622493 Both these videos help in getting the settings even better than out of the box. Whilst on VIMEO do check out the HD video...

Re: Editing HD

See the link to the AVCHD camcorders post which is in this section. http://dialog.theiac.org.uk/dialog/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2545. Three things: - 1 - Try Edius Neo Booster, its way cheaper than Edius 5 (Edius 5.5 is coming out soon) and has all you are likely to need, it is also rock solid 2 - Yo...

e-mail self help groups

I lost my internet PC some time ago and had to build a new one. Before the great crash I subscribed to the e-mail IAC-general and IAC-NLE groups. Are they still going? There is no link to them either on the website or in the Mag yet the Mag has posts that appear to come from these groups. If they ar...

Re: SONY HVR-Z5

Just a thought but for the cost of a Sony NX5 you could almost buy 2 Panasonic AG HMC 41 camcorders.

Then two camera shoots = no problem

Re: Editing AVCHD with Edius 5.12

Tony I am using Neo 2 booster and so I edit native AVCHD footage without encoding the files to another format. To successful edit NATIVE AVCHD video files you will need a very well specified PC. Quad core 3GHz, 4Gb RAM, fast hard disk (video only), a graphics card where the GPU will process the vide...

Re: HD editing - Simple things to know?

Totally ignore any Matrox product, for every one that works another does not. Rather than spend good money on hardware coders, spend it on upgrading the PC to 3GHz 4 core i7, 6Gb plus RAM etc. If you must spend on hardware coders then Grass Valley (Canopus) are by far the best and at the top of the ...

Re: AVCHD camcorders

Billy I have a Sony TG3 which is very small and it was great recently on a long holiday down under. There is now an update model in the TG7. It uses MSPro and a second battery is a must, I found that I needed 2 to ensure that I had enough for a full day shooting. In Three weeks I filled 2 1/2 16Gb m...
