DVL-Digest 1363 - Postings: Index cloning one-person crew ProMax SteadyTracker Review cloning - "Perry Mitchell" A couple of general points: 1) Sony decided to restrict TC cloning to DVCAM so it is not available on Sony DV. Not sure if anybody else allows it? 2) The shot detectors on DV often work by detecting the break in the clock time, not in the TC. Preserving the TC breaks thus shouldn't be important.

If you want a professional-sounding production, forget about using _any_ mike on board your camera (unless perhaps it's feasible to have all the actors loop their dialog later, then hire an experienced audio editor, foley artists, F/X library et al to finish the production). Even lav sound, while usually adequate for ENG, documentary and other 'non-drama' productions, is _never_ as good as what an audio crew with tightly controlled pro gear can accomplish. Lav audio tends to be tinny, and because the mike is so close to the speaker's mouth may easily exaggerate breathing, sibilant and other less flattering aspects of most peoples' voices (almost the audio equivalent of tight closeups under harsh light which expose every pore, wrinke etc.). While an experienced, well equipped sound editor can do quite a bit to clean up bad sound, this is usually time consuming, difficult, expensive and generally frustrating no matter how you slice it. It's much better to get the sound right at source whenever possible -- and it's _always_ possible when you are still planning a production. ProMax SteadyTracker Review - "Perry Mitchell" From: Danny Grizzle That's the good part. The bad part is just what you might expect, arm fatigue, lapses in framing, jostled about by the crowd.
