Re: [videoblogging] HDV tapes
I haven't had any problems with Panasonic mini dv tapes for recording HD, and haven't noticed any quality difference when using HD tapes vs SD tapes either. Not worth the ~50% markup in my opinion. Definitely a good idea to stick to one brand per camera though, as has been mentioned here before. Something about the coating they use to lubricate the tape is different among the various brands, and can cause jams if you mix and match. Search the archive for a better explanation.

[videoblogging] Re: Maya
Kerry To the best of my knowledge, you cant bring objects from Maya into AE. You need to render separate passes for RGB, Alpha, ObjectBuffers for each object, then maybe Depth passes for each object. Of course you need to export camera data if you want your 3D elements to interact with any 2D elements you are creating AE. If you go to PostForum.com and look for Ko Marayuma in the AE forum, he knows pretty much all there is to know about AE. Also there is a very high end pro group hosted at http://www.media-motion.tv/ Someone in there will be able to help. Also for what its worth. Cinema4D is the app of choice when working with AE as it interoperates very well. You can save an AE project file out of C4D that has all lights and camera data intact. It is the choice for almost all broadcast motion graphics designers these days. Probably doesnt help you now if you have already invested in Maya, but worth knowing if you dont already Good luck cheers adam --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "brogan_kerry" wrote: > > Hey all, >This doesn't necessarily pertain to videoblogging per-se but I was > wondering if anyone > knows how to import objects/animations from Maya into After Effects.

[videoblogging] Re: HDV tapes
I've used Panasonic miniDV tapes in the JVCHD100 just fine. HDV was a format designed to work within the 25mb/sec limitation of DV25. HDV and DV25 should in theory work with any miniDV tape and be interoperable. As with all media, a good name brand will ensure better results (kinda goes without saying I know). Might be worth looking over at adamwilt.com for any gotchas. He is the DV cam/tape master. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, RICHARD wrote: > > What are your experiences with mini HDV/DV tapes for recording HDV? > > I recently bought a Canon XH A1s and I want to stick with one brand of tape > for use in this camera. > > I¹ve been using Panasonic mini DV tape for years in my Panasonic SD > camcorder and have been completely satisfied with it.
