Re: [videoblogging] Re: Thankfully People Keep Trying

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Microphone Recommendations
Hrm. Typically, you go either hand-held or attached to the camera. Not both. For hand-held, man-on-the-street interview work, the most durable, cheap mic I know is the Shure SM-58 but you may need some kind of preamp between the mic and the camera to boost the signal a bit. You'll have to test it out as the specs for the camera do not give me enough information to tell. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Shure-SM58-Mic?sku=270101 $99 Use a Beachtek in combination with the SM58 if you need a boost in signal: http://www.beachtek.com/prod.html http://www.beachtek.com/dxa4.html The Beachtek (with 48v powering) will also work with a shotgun mic that can be put on a boom pole, another, versatile option, particularly if you'll have your camera locked down on a tripod. Don't have time to do the research on a mic that would attach to the camera just now. Sorry. I prefer keeping the onboard mic close to the subject to using an external, aftermarket microphone.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Microphone Recommendations
I use the Shure SM57 SM58 all the time with my camera. It's the interview mic I use for interviews on the Dragon*Con DVDs. Right now it's cabled to the camera. I have a passive dual-XLR to 1/8 adapter that I use to tie it to my Sony TRV950's 1/8 mic jack. This takes care of the impedance matching problem, so I don't need any extra pre-amps. It also handles conversion of line-level inputs, independent gain an additional 1/8 source (best $150 I spent to upgrade my camera). The Shure mics I have are from my college band ... I'm 35 now :) These are solid mics that work well take punishment. My current interview setup actually has a shotgun mic handheld mic at the same time ... Rhode VideoMic on the left channel, SM58 on the right channel (another bonus of the adapter, two mics at once). Most of the time I only use the audio from the handheld, but having the shotgun mic has saved my rear on on occasion when the handheld mic cable failed (otherwise I would have lost the interview audio). br On Mon, 30 Jul 2007 8:05 am, Jan McLaughlin wrote: Hrm.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Microphone Recommendations
Perhaps _the_ proven journalists' mic for hand-held interviews is the Electrovoice RE-50 http://www.fullcompass.com/product/296440.html with its very substantial pop filter. Like the SM58, its an unbalanced dynamic mic. To get around the PIP powering on the camcorder, one can use a Shure A96F transformer. http://tinyurl.com/2awllg That's the smallest PIP solution I know of. I much prefer carrying a stereo lavaliere pair so I can record stereo ambience, stereo effects and clip one or both on an interview subject. The design is hands-free, allows the interviewee to be less self-conscious and the resulting voice levels are often much more even often easier to edit. Sound Professionals http://tinyurl.com/2mvfkc has several high quality stereo lavs in the $50 range. These are made for PIP, no adapters are necessary. Tell Chris what your applications are. re: Use a Beachtek in combination with the SM58 if you need a boost in signal: http://www.beachtek.com/prod.htmlhttp://www.beachtek.com/prod.html http://www.beachtek.com/dxa4.htmlhttp://www.beachtek.com/dxa4.html The Beachtek (with 48v powering) will also work with a shotgun mic that can be put on a boom pole, another, versatile option, particularly if you'll have your camera locked down on a tripod.

Perhaps someone else will chime in here with more information in that regard. For mics that need phantom powering, I'd suggest the Rolls PB224 or the Art Phantom II. Quite a bit cheaper than the Beachtek and they have been shown to maintain quality of the quietest mics on the quietest pro recorders. With most camcorders, all you need is an XLR - mini stereo adapter plug. Rob D. Jan [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[videoblogging] Blank tape detected in Premiere
Guys, When I dump a tape to Premiere, it sometimes stops in the middle of the capture process and says capture stopped because blank tape was detected. I've become used to this as a minor glitch that occurs once in a blue moon. Lately, though, it's been happening a lot. It seems to crop up once every two minutes of footage. The footage itself is there, and if I back up to the beginning of the scene and capture again, everything's fine. This is becoming an annoyance, though, and I'm afraid it might be a sign of impending equipment failure, which is something I can't afford. The camera itself is only about a year old, and it hasn't seen heavy, regular use until about last March when Greentime began. Does anyone have any experience with this error? Is there something I need to do to help fix this? I tried my head cleaner on my camera, but to no avail. -- Rhett. http://www.weatherlight.com/freetime http://www.weatherlight.com/greentime
Re: [videoblogging] Blank tape detected in Premiere
Do you use SP or LP speed on your camera? I only use SP to reduce frame drops. It's possible you are getting frame drops from the tape during capture, but they tend to show up differently in other programs (Vegas lists them as actual dropped frames rather than dumping the capture). Just for kicks, try capturing from another program (MovieMaker, iMovie, etc.) and see if it's repeatable. On Mon, 30 Jul 2007 12:36 pm, J.

Re: [videoblogging] Blank tape detected in Premiere
I've had that problem before too. Are you using Scene Detect during capture? That could be part of the problem. It tries to add a few extra frames in between stop points during batch captures, and it usually fails. Also it helps if you use the same brand of DV tape stock all the time, as different brands use different lubricants which can gum up the heads in your cam. I didn't know this until it was too late with my last Panasonic cam, and it started getting the blank tape detected error in Premiere. If you've already cleaned the heads, just start using the same tape brand from now on and it might fix itself. http://www.cinematography.com/forum2004/lofiversion/index.php?t8438.html On 7/30/07, J.

Re: [videoblogging] Blank tape detected in Premiere
I am using Scene Detect. If I turn it off, though, won't I have to go in and split out all the scenes by hand? I haven't noticed a problem with it mis-detecting scene boundaries, only with it thinking that it's hit blank tape or something. I'll try getting more religious about what tape brand I use and I'll try re-cleaning with a little more alcohol (I used virtually none last time). -- Rhett. http://www.weatherlight.com/freetime http://www.weatherlight.com/greentime I've had that problem before too. Are you using Scene Detect during capture? That could be part of the problem. It tries to add a few extra frames in between stop points during batch captures, and it usually fails.

I googled Bret Branon of Westpark Foundries and the first page contained quite a few links that provide more info about him, one or two that suggest he has some history of dealing with these sorts of companies, but nothing I saw that you could bet the house on. I guess it comes down to exactly what exclusivity he is asking, if its nothing that can interfere with your existing means of distribution etc, then you have less to lose. Id also think that you could get a clause put in the contract that means it ends prematurely, after a month or 3 months or whatever, if he fails to achieve x dollars worth of deals. Thats the sort of thing Id think about if it were me and I didnt have any other offers coming in for that side of the business, or any plans to persue mobile or iptv etc deals directly myself.

[videoblogging] Publicity or lack of, old and new
Lots of different discussions recently have got me thinking about publicity. It strikes me that its become one of the weaker links, it hasnt evolved like the ease of use, technology distribution stuff has. I dunno, perhaps I would expect the various network/distribution/guide companies to do more to try to promote themselves beyond the web2.0/silly con valley/early adopter crowd, perhaps they do try but its not easy. I jusst think that if I actually had a show, I would be looking for a partner that could deliver some real value by actually being able to do a decent job of promoting the show. Now this does tie in to distribution, ie if you get on various settop or mobile networks featured in their on screen guide, some more people will find you. But even on that front Ive not often seen the vlog-related new networks make that many tie-ups with these networks. Heck its really unclear what the reality is out there because there are plenty of positive stories with huge $ numbers attached to these things, but hard to see where its actually happening in reality. Oh I dunno, it just strikes me that companies that expect to make money through advertising, need to find ways to advertise themselves better to the masses. Im conflicted on these points, as I hate many forms of advertising, and the net is supposed to have all sorts of new ways that people will find your content if they are interested, and various new forms of pblicity, concepts such as something going viral (as opposed to fake viral marketing). Ive long believed that the 'death of the music industry' predictors were ignoring the fact that just because the rules of distribution can change against established giants advantage, this does not automatically kill their ability to advertise their stuff, and get the mass customers needed to make the thing profitable. Im also aware that some could say these things are a quality issue, if there were more shows out there that were 'must watch' to the majority of people, news of them would spread like wildfire, the people would find them for themselves. It may be true, I dunno, its a brave new world and Im not sure if we are there yet. In any case it seems that so far there are a few different types of companies out there that have emerged and could be interesting partners for vloggers. Whether they succeed or fail could depend just as much on keeping the right things from the old ways of doing business, as which elements of web 2 they adopt. Maybe some companies have assumed the web will do their publicity for them, and been mistaken, or at least not realised quite what a narrow section of humans their marketing efforts have reached. But does this mean Im calling for some of the qualities of an old style TV network to be brought to vlog show business, when I previous reacted with horror and venom to such concepts? I dont know, I suppose at least in so much as I always found Channel Frederator rather watchable and yet it feels like a TV channel in some ways. Cheers Steve Elbows
[videoblogging] Bitchin' Moanin'
ok... So now I've been infected by you videoblogging-types! :O hahahaha Besides when I first started out editing MSM video, I've never given a damn about being credited for something I did. Most of what I do is segment editing. I make short pieces that go into larger shows. Sometimes, I'm the show editor. Sometimes, I'm the offline editor (which doesn't make sense as a term anymore, because nobody's loading in Low-Res anymore. It's all broadcast quality...) and someone else does the finishing. So I sat with a producer and cut this video about kids that went to Uganda. We cut 20 hours of footage down to 5 minutes, our allotted time in the hour-long show. It aired this morning @ 7am, so I just checked it out on the DVR a couple of minutes ago. NOW... Thanks to youse guys (did he say... youtes?), I'm all NOTICING that I wasn't credited anywhere... ANYWHERE! :D waah If you watch Dateline, when the segments start, they throw up the producer's name and the editor's name before they get into the story. This is because there are different producers and different editors on every single segment, so it doesn't make sense to THROW ALL THEIR NAMES IN AT THE END!!! :/ They mentioned the producer I worked with. Except they didn't mention WHAT SEGMENT SHE PRODUCED!!! :/ Idiots. They floated a stack of names up the screen under the heading Field Producers, not giving any one of them credit for the individual segment they were responsible for. Maybe their plan was for people to remember which segment went when and match up the names to the NOPE! The field producers are credited in ALPHABETICAL ORDER!!! :/ Then, the largest insult is that they have three people listed under Editors, none of whom is *ME*! :D Being that they don't have the same number of editors listed as they have Field Producers, I doubt that those are individual segment editors. They're most likely the staff editors for the program, and they were responsible for putting the entire show together. They may have done some segments too, depending on how that show works, but WHO THE HELL KNOWS? Because they didn't say which editor did WHAT! :/ What's so funny about this is that none of it matters! :D I got paid, REGARDLESS, and before all this Creative Commons this and This aggregator jacked my feed that, I couldn't possibly have cared any less if someone put my name on one of the myriad videos I've put on the air. The people that I told about it saw it or recorded it or whatever, and I'm not psychic... to be able to tell people that a segment about kids going to Uganda is coming on in the first half hour of a show airing on July 30th @ 7am THAT.I.DIDN'T.DO.MYSELF! :D So, for all intents and purposes, I shouldn't care at all that I wasn't mentioned... AT ALL! However... It's a ripoff. It's not right! :D Actually, the way they stacked everyone up at the end without giving individual credit for the segments, it wouldn't have mattered if they had put my name in the credit roll. I would just have had something DIFFERENT to bitch about! :D Make sure you feel GLAD and PRIVILEGED when someone acknowledges what you do and credits you and/or links back to you! :D -- billcammack

[videoblogging] More Info About Getting Video off of JVC hard disk drive camcorders
I found this video on Teacher Tube about moving JVC Enviro HDD .mod files to iMovie. http://www.teachertube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=cc0be55b2c82f6975038 Seriously, you want Mpeg Streamclip for these camcorders. This is available in Mac and PC versions. The main thing is to remember to de-interlace the .mod files when you export the format. This will remove the jaggies and artifacts that will appear if you do not de-interlace. I can see why many people are upset with the camcorder and return it. It is not bad camcorder. The export process is too complicated for point and shoot users. It is a royal pain if you have some video experience. I'm going through the documentation and there isn't anything I can find that helps folks work with the files. Shameful. On the PC side, there is a recommendation of changing the .mod to .mpg; I tried that and I could see the video but not hear the audio track. Also, for PC Users you have to get the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component. If you use QuickTime Alternative you score, it will work. If you are on Quicktime Pro you will have to pony up money for the component http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2 It is $19.99 - otherwise M5 Streamclip can't open the file.

Re: [videoblogging] moblogging
Hi Irene, Yes, I do this with every post. But it depends on your phone's capabilities. At the most basic level, you'd have to take the memory card out of your phone and transfer the file to your computer. Most new phones allow you to transfer files to a computer by Bluetooth. Then you post it as you would a normal video file. For true movlogging, the basic necessity is email. If your phone contract allows email, you can email the file over your provider's data network. You could just email it to yourself. But the most effective way of handling the email is to send it to Blip.tv. If you set up an account with them, they allow you to set up a dedicated mobile email address to send your files to. When they receive it, they will automatically transcode it into Flash for easy viewing online. But more excitingly, you can tell them to automatically crosspost the video embed code, plus title and description from your email direct to your blog - Wordpress, Blogger, Myspace, pretty much anything. That's what I do. But I have a phone that allows me to shoot and cut on the phone, then email the file over a regular wireless network for free (at home or in a cafe, for instance) to Blip, who then take care of all the posting as above. That makes it super easy. Pretty much all social networks - Youtube, Facebook, Myspace, Bebo, etc - also all allow you to email videos directly to them from your phone. If you need more info, or if I can help you more, let me know.
