DVL-Digest 704 - Postings: Index DV timecode capture accuracy [ Filming vs Taping PD150 Prog Scan - 15 or 30 fps DV timecode capture accuracy [ - Adam Wilt How are you on timecode accuracy on DV capture? FCP (or QT4?) can be > off by one or two frames which is driving the film offline community > nuts as far as using DV. Everything has to be manually checked. > Email me directly if you want to discuss this offline. Please, keep it online! [Or if not, please copy me on the discussion!] Cheers, Adam Wilt Filming vs Taping - Adam Wilt What about "speed" Robert!:??? :-) I still use "speed" when shooting videotape, even with SOT (Sound On Tape!). Overeager directors like to call out "Roll camera! Action!" in one breath, without letting me (a) verify that tape is rolling, and (b) lay down a five-second preroll for editing purposes. Even though "speed" is no longer a callout to indicate that the speed and sync butterflies on the Nagra are visible, it's an invaluable part of the ritual (once I've trained the directors!) ensuring the shot will be editable from the first important frame. I still use "rolling!" to indicate that yes, I heard you, and yes, I pushed the little red button, but you're bloody well going to wait until I say "speed!" before you cue the actors if you want the shot to work! Cheers, Adam Wilt PD150 Prog Scan - 15 or 30 fps - Adam Wilt Is there an easy place to download one of these resolution test charts to > print out? What about other test charts? I don't know of a good place to download test patterns. There's an old Indian-head test pattern at http://www.pbryant.com/, but it's not really what we're looking for! If you hit http://www.dv.com/magazine/2000/0900/wilt0900.html and scroll down to the "VX2000 Progressive" image you'll see the lower left corner of the resolution test chart I use. Most of the pro video stores have these charts available at reasonable rates, or you can order them from the likes of http://www.markertek.com.
