As such the GH2's styling is closer to that of a baby DSLR than its sibling's, the GF2 compact camera form. While stylistically similar, its size is roughly a third of the size of Olympus' Four Thirds E-5 DSLR, and closer in fact to that of a bridge camera. Except unlike a bridge camera, the Panasonic's added appeal is the ability to swap the lens in use. Therefore it's fair to say that for those who like the feel of a DSLR but not the attendant bulk, the GH2 is potentially a very attractive proposition. It's in effect a DSLR 'lite'. </span><br /><br /><div style="font-family: serif;"></div><div style="font-family: serif;"></div><div style="font-family: serif;"><b>Easiest way to convert GH2 1080p .mts to 720p?</b><br /><br /><i>I'm a Director, DP-Editor/Gaffer.

Its latest feat is no less amazing, even for jaded DSLR shooters.<br /><br />By exploiting unused dual ISO amplifiers on a sensor chip in the <a href="http://1080p-video-tool.blogspot.com/2013/05/Magic-Lantern-enables-Canon-5D-Mark-III-Raw-video-output.html" target="_blank">Canon 5D Mark III</a> and <a href="http://mac-prores-converter.com/7d-final-cut-pro-workflow-ingesting-canon-7d-h-264-mov-media-file-into-fcp-without-fcp-plugin/" target="_blank">7D</a>, new firmware allows you to record lighter parts of a scene at ISO 100 and darker portions at ISO 1600. It works with RAW video and stills on the 5D III and RAW stills only on the 7D, with both requiring post-processing after capture. That bit of creative coding increases the dynamic range of both cameras to around 14, though not without some drawbacks. Namely, the 7D implementation is buggy for now, you'll lose some resolution while gaining aliasing in shadows and highlights, and won't be able to check critical focus by zooming in. Still, the organization has a track record of quickly improving new features -- so, if you've got the guts to risk voiding your warranty, hit the source.</div><div style="font-family: serif;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: serif;">Their latest creation - called Dual ISO - dramatically increases the dynamic range of the 5D Mark III and EOS 7D by four stops, bringing the total dynamic range to 14EV. This allows you to pull detail out of the shadows with a lot less noise than with the 'stock' firmware. The technical details are complex, but simply put, it works by interlacing two rows of pixels captured at ISO 100 with two rows taken at a higher sensitivity (usually ISO 1600). The low sensitivity rows capture highlight detail, while the high ISO rows capture shadow detail. When they are combined, you get relatively noise-free shadows without blowing highlights.</div><div style="font-family: serif;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: serif;">According to Magic Lantern, there are some downsides to using the Dual ISO firmware, though. Vertical resolution is reduced by half and there's more moiré and aliasing in over and underexposed areas. The author also warns that since this software modifies the sensor's operation, you could end up frying your camera. </div><div style="font-family: serif;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: serif;"><b>Canon Related guides:</b><br /> </div><a href="http://digital-camcorder-life.com/2013/06/18/fcp-x-and-canon-powershot-n-mov-transcoding/" target="_blank">Transcode Canon PowerShot N to FCP X</a> <br /><a href="http://pc-mac-compatibility-issues.blogspot.com/2013/07/easily-edit-canon-6d-1080p-mov-in-fcp.html" target="_blank">Canon EOS 6D MOV to FCP</a> <br /><a href="http://www.h264movconverter.com/convert-canon-100d-sl1-mov-to-fcp-6/7.html" target="_blank">Import Canon 100D MOV to FCP 6/7</a> <br /><a href="http://pc-mac-compatibility-issues.blogspot.com/2013/05/Transcode-Canon-EOS-550D-T2i-video-to-FCP.html" target="_blank">Edit T2i/550D MOV in FCP X</a> <br /><a href="http://www.h264movconverter.com/play-canon-t5i-mov-files-with-quicktime.html" target="_blank">Play Canon T5i mov on QuickTime</a> <br /><a href="http://digitalmediasolution.altervista.org/blog/importing-canon-t4i650d-h-264-footage-in-imovie-mac/" target="_blank">Edit Canon EOS T4i MOV in iMovie</a> <br /><a href="http://www.h264movconverter.com/edit-canon-powershot-n-mov-videos-in-aperture-3.html" target="_blank">Work with PowerShot N in Apple Aperture 3</a> <br /><div style="font-family: serif;"><a href="http://www.h264movconverter.com/how-do-i-best-edit-canon-g12-mov-h264-in-avid-mc-6.html" target="_blank">G12 MOV and Avid MC workflow</a> </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03626318619620938443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-306421160321088794.post-35761198787197196922013-07-22T22:24:00.000-07:002013-08-05T12:38:45.140-07:00How to Convert QuickTime movie to iMovie on Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks<b>Summary</b>: If you don't know how to smoothly import QuickTime movie to iMovie on Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks, just read this article, you will get the tools and steps, follow it! <br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfZ69xWxRJRD5yLLwS6lGxuhc_SO3nRtaXgXcW3gwRzfFlsKMkcwEU3MUwWWAwFTQER4tpQdzsmdAU0nKLAYPb1X9ZoFxekAdjGRCbCI3pJiZj0e1R00E2Ia7v5dIkwvSJs4ranyVc4JU/s1600/quicktime-mov-to-iMovie.jpg" /></div><br /><b>QuickTime (.MOV) </b>file format is a file extension used by the QuickTime-wrapped files.

This camera is basically a PDW-700 camera with some upgrades that many of our customers have been asking for. The list of new features that come standard with the camera include: 24p recording, variable frame rate recording (over-crank & under-crank), user gamma modes, dual-optical filters (ND and Color Correction), and SD recording modes. They have also added the ability to record proxy video data directly to a USB memory stick, so your editor can start working immediately with these files.<br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmAtZZPPFyeYJK4J2aIr4CcbHq1BwQ2jsedzeAAz_iS-ORx9TyAkSMKBYSE8VYgeWp-_pMTv3Hne7Puh30chiPDMkDEL6Mb-u02npnG8H2bPEhqTC0KjmbCb1GFP8ESv9I_zank3uOcAE/s1600/sony-pdw-f800-xdcam-mxf-to-avid-premiere.jpg" style="font-family: serif; text-align: center;" /><br /><br />The PDW-F800 offers very high quality HD recording at a data rate of up to 50Mbps using the MPEG-2 4:2:2P@HL compression and the recorded video format is MXF. But for Mac users, using Sony PDW-F800 XDCAM HD 422 MXF is a big problem. The mxf files will not be handled perfectly in Mac editing software like Avid Media Composer and Premiere Pro due to the incompatible format and codec. Especially, some XDCAM HD422 MXF raw footage was shot in 50 fps, it can't be accepted by Avid MC and Premiere Pro. <br /><br />So if you want to smoothly edit Sony PDW-F800 XDCAM HD422 MXF in Avid Media Composer and Premiere Pro, you first need to <a href="http://www.pavtube.com/guide/working-with-xdcam-imx-media-in-fcp-avid-imovie-ppro.html" target="_blank"><b>convert Sony PDW-F800 XDCAM HD422 MXF video to Avid and Premiere compatible mov format</b></a>.<br /><br /><span style="font-family: serif;">First of all, we highly recommend the </span><span style="font-family: serif;">professional</span><span style="font-family: serif;"> </span><b style="font-family: serif;"><a href="http://www.pavtube.com/mxf-converter-mac/" target="_blank">Sony XDCAM MXF Converter</a></b><span style="font-family: serif;"> for you, which allows you to convert/transcode Sony </span><span style="font-family: serif;">PDW-F800</span> <span style="font-family: serif;">XDCAM HD422 MXF files to Avid/Premiere friendly format easily and quickly </span><span style="font-family: serif;">without any video and audio problem</span><span style="font-family: serif;">.

Essentially, the sensor includes twice the number of pixels in an (very successful) attempt to improve focusing. There are 40.3 million photodiodes on the sensor, and when they're all working together, "it's like 20 million people tracking the focus with both eyes," as Canon explains. The result is camcorder-like focusing for both stills and video, when you're shooting in live view mode. During our test with a pre-production sample, the device performed phenomenally, adjusting focus instantaneously when snapping stills, and quickly but gradually when recording video.<br /><br /><b>Reviewing- Canon EOS 70D main features:</b><br /><br /><br /><ul><li>20.2 Megapixel CMOS (APS-C) sensor, 14-bit A/D conversion, ISO 100-12800 (expandable to H: 25600) for shooting from bright to dim light and high performance DIGIC 5+ Image Processor for exceptional image quality and processing speed. </li></ul><ul><li>EOS Full HD Movie mode with Movie Servo AF for improved continuous focus tracking of moving subjects, manual exposure control and multiple frame rates (1080: 30p (29.97) / 24p (23.976) / 25p, 720: 60p (59.94) / 50p, 480: 30p (29.97) / 25p), built-in stereo microphone, manual audio level adjustment with attenuator function to reduce audio clipping, and Video Snapshot with editing for expanded movie shooting options. </li></ul><ul><li>Vari-angle Touch Screen 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor II (approximately 1,040,000 dots) with smudge-resistant coating features multi-touch operation and Touch AF for an easy and intuitive experience, flexible positioning, and clear viewing even when outdoors in sunlight.</li><li>Built-in wireless technology allows you to wirelessly transfer your images to social networking sites through CANON iMAGE GATEWAY, share your images with wireless-enabled Canon cameras, or upload virtually anywhere on your iOS® or Android(TM) smartphone* with the free download of the EOS Remote app.</li><li>Canon's innovative Dual Pixel CMOS AF enables you to shoot video like a camcorder with smooth, fast, and accurate autofocus; lets you enjoy instant and precise autofocus even when shooting stills from a variety of angles with the freedom provided by the Vari-angle LCD. 19-point all cross-type AF system (including a high-precision f/2.8 dual cross-type AF center point) with a wide area arrayfor exceptional autofocus performance and greater compositional freedom when shooting with the viewfinder. Intelligent Viewfinder with superimposed LCD display provides approximately 98% field of view, and Multi-Aspect ratio in Live View broadens your choices in composition. </li></ul><br />The 60D will be discontinued, but the 7D will remain on the market -- for a while longer, at least. Still, if you're looking for a DSLR primarily for shooting video, the 70D is where it's at.<br /><br /><b>Canon related guide: </b><br /><a href="http://digital-camcorder-life.com/2013/06/18/fcp-x-and-canon-powershot-n-mov-transcoding/" target="_blank">Transcode Canon PowerShot N to FCP X</a> <br /><a href="http://pc-mac-compatibility-issues.blogspot.com/2013/07/easily-edit-canon-6d-1080p-mov-in-fcp.html" target="_blank">Canon EOS 6D MOV to FCP</a> <br /><a href="http://www.h264movconverter.com/convert-canon-powershot-a250-mov-to-fcp.html" target="_blank">Insert Canon PowerShot A2500 MOV to FCP</a> <br /><a href="http://www.h264movconverter.com/convert-canon-100d-sl1-mov-to-fcp-6/7.html" target="_blank">Import Canon 100D (SL1) MOV to FCP 6/7</a> <br /><a href="http://pc-mac-compatibility-issues.blogspot.com/2013/05/Transcode-Canon-EOS-550D-T2i-video-to-FCP.html" target="_blank">Edit T2i/550D MOV in FCP X</a> <br /><a href="http://digital-camcorder-life.com/2013/06/03/transcodeimport-eos-700drebel-t5i-mov-files-to-final-cut-pro-67/" target="_blank">Transcode T5i MOV to FCP 6/7</a> <br /><a href="http://www.h264movconverter.com/play-canon-t5i-mov-files-with-quicktime.html" target="_blank">Play Canon T5i mov on QuickTime</a> <br /><a href="http://handycameratips.jimdo.com/2013/05/15/canon-mov-to-fcp-converter-convert-canon-650d-t4i-to-fcp-6-7-x-for-editing/" target="_blank">Convert 650D/T4i MOV to Prores for FCP</a> <br /><a href="http://digitalmediasolution.altervista.org/blog/importing-canon-t4i650d-h-264-footage-in-imovie-mac/" target="_blank">Edit Canon EOS T4i MOV in iMovie</a> <br /><a href="http://www.h264movconverter.com/edit-canon-powershot-n-mov-videos-in-aperture-3.html" target="_blank">Work with PowerShot N in Apple Aperture 3</a> <br /><a href="http://www.h264movconverter.com/how-do-i-best-edit-canon-g12-mov-h264-in-avid-mc-6.html" target="_blank">G12 MOV and Avid MC workflow</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03626318619620938443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-306421160321088794.post-88748498760499944372013-07-02T20:24:00.000-07:002013-08-05T12:38:46.354-07:00XDCAM MXF to MOV- Edit Sony PDW-510 XDCAM MXF in iMovie 8/9/11 with High Quality<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><strong>Summary</strong>:In this post, you can learn the best way and tools for importing and <b><a href="http://www.pavtube.com/guide/import-convert-sony-xdcam-files-to-imovie-for-editing-with-aic-codec.html" target="_blank">editing Sony PDW-510 XDCAM MXF in iMovie 8/9/11</a></b>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><a href="http://www.pavtube.com/edit-play-sony-camera-videos.html">Sony</a> PDW-510 is one of Sony XDCAM series, the high-end professional camcorders which can capture excellent image quality.
