XDCAM How to clips by me!
I have started work on a number of "How to Guides" for XDCAM HD and EX owners. The first couple are for all to see on YouTube.
YouTube - Shooting Timelapse with XDCAM EX. How to guide from XDCAM-USER.com YouTube - Progressive v Interlace and using shutter to reduce motion blur

Great video. Do you have one showing different settings ie. ever 1/2/4/8/16 sec or so? Wish the Ex-1/3 had a 30sec cache preroll.

I didn't cover longer intervals as the effect is essentially the same, you are just speeding things up further. For most of my TL work I use 1 second. If I find the clip still isn't fast enough then I can speed it up further in the edit. I suppose I could add an extra caption at the end with some examples such as:
For a 10 second clip at 25fps: 1 second interval = 4.1 mins of real time 2 seconds = 8.3 mins 5 seconds = 20.8 mins 30 seconds = 2 hours 60 seconds = 4 hours 5 mins = 21 hours

More! More!
Have you considered putting this stuff on your site and charging admission? I'd pay. The Vortex DVD's pretty good, too. It was well-worth the money. |

Well done, Alister. I bet what people would appreciate is the frame accumulation and alike..

Yes it was a fly. Little swine crawling across the lens... grrrrr.
So what topics would you guys like? Color Matrix, Detail, Gammas? I'm working on a little piece about lenses at the moment.

Its very kind of you to take the time to put the tutorials together. As a new EX-1 owner they are extremely useful.

Very nice, good work.
I would love to see a comprehensive collection of settings gamma color matrix etc. In a few different settings. I have been thinking about making a set of samples myself as reference. It is time consuming though. I am thinking a studio setup with black bg some flowers a model std 3 pt lighting and maybe some high contrast as well. Also a sunny outdoor scene with trees water and people. And then a dull day. It would be great to have maybe 10 settings in 3 scenes for reference. I think this is definitely something you could charge for. After posting a few teasers. |

I have been using the TL for quite a while now and find it fasinating. One can make a TL of a trivial thing and it becomes interesting. just though the newbies would like some more info. Thanks again.
