Could you tell us which scene file you used? Have you any custom settings?

Shot two weddings last weekend with scene file 4 (b-star), modified the matrix to NORM2 since I'm in PAL land, but have yet to look at the footage.

Cheers,

Hi Scott,

Thanks. I used Scene File 5. I really like that setting when shooting in plenty of light. When shooting in lower light conditions I use Scene File 1. When I first started using the HMC150 I used Scene File 4, but noticed more noise than I like when shooting in lower light conditions. I have not messed around with the vast amount of custom settings. Busy...busy...busy.

Hi Mark,

The videos finally worked. Just curious - what program, resolution and bitrate settings do you use for encoding for your website?

Thanks,

Simon

Mark,

Are you using a fisheye on the 150 for a couple of the shots? If so I would like to know which one works well with the hmc.

The clip is beautiful and I really like the colors on the HMC.

We used On2Flix Pro. 1000 on the bitrate. We usually use ProCoder, but have been having issues with it.

Hi Steve,

Yes. I use the Century Optics .4. I really like it. I also have a Century .6, but I didn't use it on this shoot. I actually did a Von Real segment on three Century lenses for the HMC150. You can go to EventDV-TV.com and go to the Von Real tab. Episode 1.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the info.

I like ProCoder too but for H.264 I have not been very happy with the results either.

Actually PPCS3 does a "decent" job for H.264.

I have never heard of On2Flix Pro. I will check that out.

Thanks,

Simon

Your welcome Mark. Hope you find it helpful.

"Nested" timelines are really useful in Edius once you get used to using them.

Such a powerful program...
