Thanks Col, Just the sort of advice I need and I will follow up those leads. As she already has her Panasonic Lumix TZ55 she may well like sticking to the same brand. She has no interest in video apart her special needs as I have already mentioned. I may well come back to you in due course for furth...

Advice if possible. I’m in occasional contact, mainly by e-mail, with a young lady who has started a You Tube channel on her specialist interest, which is fashion, make up, etc. She one of several similar who do reviews of such products on the web. At the moment she is using a Panasonic TZ55 which m...

Thanks Tom for the follow up. I forwarded your comments to my colleague and here is his reply just received. Thanks – will have a read!! In fact no-one has commented on it – so to be honest I think it was us nit picking! When a video plays people are looking at the content – and not analysing whethe...

Hi Tim, Thanks for your comments. I didn't put all their message, but here is another snippet. After a fantastic 2014 where we created over 2,000 company videos, we are further showcasing our passion for supporting the marketing efforts of UK businesses - whether you are a one man band, SME or multi...

I have just received a 'spam' email from a company called Pinpoint in Cheltenham. Just wondered if any of you have received the same. [They are pinpoint.com] A small clip of the message reads "As a very unique new year opportunity, we are providing the chance to create 3 videos for your company...

Thanks Col, I will pass on your advice. Pete.

I need some expert advice as this is above me. A colleague tells me that he has a couple of original HD video camera files from which he has been trying to create a short promo video. He has been running into so many problems, mainly of his own creation I would add. Yesterday I suggested that he let...

A colleague has phoned with a query on You Tube. He is producing a short show-reel of himself and uploaded it to YT as ‘unlisted’ as it’s only in his planning stage at the moment. The video shows in YT with a large black border around the image. The image doesn't fill the YT screen. He tells me that...

Hi Willy. Thanks for the gen. My previous camcorder was the Sony Z5. I used this with mini dv tapes and the add-on digital back. I then changed my small Canon tape camera to an all card model and decided I ought to move with the times and leave the tapes behind and go all card based. The results fro...

Ooooops Colin. The Christmas season caught me out and I neglected to answer your posting. Sorry. Yes, I did know about using the remote but I was expecting - hoping - that it would could be set automatic on the camera as per my previous cams. Seems a pain in the bum to have to do it with the remote....

On all my previous Camcorders when starting to record, the displayed time code started from 00.00.00.00 each time so that it was easy to see how long the recording was running. However on my Sony HXR-NXS I just cannot get this display. Each time I start a recording the time code starts from where th...

Teaks Tim,
I was aware of this but thanks for reminding me.
Pete

Hi Col, Said I would give you a follow up on this query of mine. I visited my friend and the first thing I did was to put his SD card in his other computer and load a couple of his dodgy clips into his Pinnacle programme. Same problem there. I then asked if he had another SD card and he had a new on...

Thanks Col,
I will speak to my friend over the phone tomorrow. I will suggest that he lets me have his card and I will try out his clips in my CS6.
Cheers.
Pete

A friend has just got the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ72 camera to use for video. He has also changed to Power Director for his editing. He calls me in for guidance . . (Oh Lord). Putting his video clips on the Timeline and playing them, there is a noticeable glitch in the audio between each clip. Looking...
