I have another quick question. I was looking at the pictures on BHphotovideo of the Tascam DR-100mkII that has been recommended, and that I'm planning to purchase. And I noticed it had a 3.5mm line out that is separate from the 3.5mm headphone out. Since the filmmaking team I'll be working...

Awesome! I will try to start getting these books! As of now, the area I'm in, I will be primarily working on shorts and features for Vimeo/Youtube release... But I want to have the right equipment in case a project presents it's self where DVD release, or possibly a festival run is a...

Holy crap... I want this. Stage 2 at Warner Brothers I will try to find this book!! Alright, this makes sense.. I just remember reading that some low end field recorders (Tascam Dr-40 I believe) which can record 4 tracks, can record your main track, then a back up of the same audio at a...

I found out that my local Guitar Center will be holding a free basic Pro Tools class in September, so I'll probably go to that to try to get a basic feel for the DAW. From what I understand going by what the guy who will be teaching the class, he said that even though Pro Tools has a steep...

Thank you so much for this! It makes sense to purchase higher quality, for the long term. If I may ask you an additional question, What (besides Pro Tools) will I need in my post production studio. Will all the mixes be handled in Pro Tools? or will I need to set up physical mixers/signal...

Thanks for the response! I have seen PluralEyes, but wasn't sure if it worked well enough to be a serious consideration! I watched a review about the new Tascam DR-60, it the major negitive I saw with it was it's digital potentiometers for level control, which give a clicky sound when adjusting...

Hey guys, got a few questions. (I'm sorry if some of them seem stupid) First off, when you're recording audio to a separate recorder, and, say you film all day, then go home to off load, assuming you're not using timecode, when you off load all your video and audio files, how do you know which...

Good luck man! I hate hearing of actors acting the way yours did. Ihatemyjob refers to my day job, or, more accurately my former day job.

First off, as an actor, this is an offensive generalization... But, more to the point of the post, (again, as an actor) you should let your actor know that his job is to facilitate your vision and bring it to life. If he is serious about a career as an actor, he needs to get used to that.

Defiantly bookmarking that.

Hey guys, I'm trying to write a phone conversation where the video will be going back and forth based on who is talking. Since this script is for me and my "crew" and it won't be seen by anyone, for now I'm just writing it like a normal dialog sequence, and I'll just know when we get to...

I had to quote this again, it looked so good in the package... But it seems like every time I use it, something new and exciting is messed up... Like, a couple threads down in this section, it went through a "no audio" phase, then today... [even though it's slow on my laptop, and I'm going to...

Yeah I've began to realize that Pinnacle isn't really a high end software, I want Premiere, I was going to build what is called a "Hackintosh" to run Mac OS and FCP, but from what I've looked at online It looks like Premiere's user interface is a little nicer IMO, plus I've always used windows...

It looks like Pinnacle 16 has GPU acceleration technology supported with Nvidia Quadro and GeForce.... However in the write up I read, there was no noticeable performance gain when using the technology.

I'm starting to think desktop for sure, build a good system. I won't be able to afford a top notch system, but enough to be able to edit on, and that I can upgrade in the future... Then I'll keep my laptop for general internet usage, my screenwriting software, and most importantly, I'll use it...
