HDSLR Encoding Wars – Premiere Pro vs Final Cut Pro | Paul Joy

Josh Mellicker — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 18:14:30 +0000

Browsing the web reading various reports and reviews about Premiere Pro I keep coming across the statement that because Premiere Pro works without the need to transcode H.264 DSLR files the footage inherently retains more quality.

After using Premiere Pro for a week or so I decided to spend some time investigating this theory and came up with some interesting results that I thought I’d share with you. Firstly let me describe the workflow involved in each process.

HD Monitoring ideas

Mon, 24 Sep 2007 12:04:51 +0000

You’re shooting with your new HDV or HD camcorder, and the footage looks amazing! But are you really seeing the full picture?

Not unless you’re looking at a high definition monitor. But professional HD monitors are still expensive.

So, here’s an idea:

You can buy a LCD TV/computer monitor (the lines are being blurred more every day) that can be used for three different purposes:

1. While shooting, you can run component (like from the Canon XL H1 or [read more →]

Do I need a studio monitor?

Thu, 26 Apr 2007 01:24:03 +0000

If your projects are going to be delivered on DVD or broadcast, it’s important to have an accurate studio monitor on your desk so you can see your project as your viewers will see it while you’re editing.

Why? First, many editing programs show you a low quality “proxy” of your timeline, so you can’t judge color correction, brightness, saturation, contrast, how titles or graphics will look, or any other aspect of the picture accurately.

What is the best way to do multi-camera shoots?

Wed, 27 Dec 2006 13:39:34 +0000

I have shot multicam concerts locking up timecode by beaming wireless audio SMPTE timecode to all cameras and recording it on Ch 2, but I can tell you it was a big hassle and a waste of time.

My recommendation for multi-camera shoots is to either:

1. Use TOD (Free Run) Timecode

TOD (Time of Day) timecode is a switchable option on some recent camcorders. With this option, you can synchronize multiple cameras, then each camera can start or stop at will, and [read more →]

How do I edit content from a DVD?

22-02-1989 — Tue, 24 Jan 2006 17:58:34 +0000

It seems more and more common that editors are being asked to use content from a DVD- perhaps the client has provided you with last years annual report DVD… and wants you to redit it. (Remember, ripping off copyrighted content is a Federal offense with imprisonment and large fines possible!)

You can use MacTheRipper to get the content from a DVD on your hard drive (OS X only)

How do I create a broadcast master?

Tue, 24 Jan 2006 16:45:35 +0000

If you shot and edited a project in DV format, this is one recommendation:

Check your edit to make sure luma (brightness) and chroma (color saturation) levels are within broadcast-legal ranges. Adjust if necessary.
Check your project for audio clipping, and adjust levels if needed.
Make sure you’re completely out a second before the time limit- that is, for a :30, all music tails and fades should be complete by :29, or you run the risk off getting cut off by the slop [read more →]
