I have to admit david, Im excited to talk to you, as I said on my first post I been on this forum for quite some time just reading and trying to learn as much as I can, thank you for responding all of you, In audio it took my 10 years to get my first song on the radio, that was also back in the analog days ( tape ) and even at that point it wasnt all that great, now Im 20 years into It and work with artists like black eyed peas, frankie J, ect ect, my point (thanks for sticking with me ) I dont want to wait 10 years to have my music videos aired, Im a manual guy ( not the smartest, I'll just alwys read them severall times, in order to put the equipment to use at my best potential) and I have been doing alot of research, however on my own, remember I'm not quite 2 years into filming. Is there an instructional dvd that would catter to me (possible) being that I have the DVX 100A, I have alot to learn at the same time I also have already shot 20 videos, and they look pretty good, but you know how it is I want them to look great, and there not at that level yet. I am. so for me going right now to dvd, and hopefully tv (in the near future) would I render the project uncompressed, I.e. dont remove the pulldown ? please answer this one, so would'nt it be best for me to shoot with 24pa ? so 24pa I capture it in vegas as 29.97, go into my preferences select remove 2:3 3:2 pulldown, do my editing, and when I render also render with the 2:3 3:2 in (compressed I think) thank you, thank you, for all and any help, if any of you have questions about audio, I would be glad to help. David seriously, your in LA im in san dimas, can I hire you for a day? e-mail me at CDZ4U @ aol.com and again thank you all ! !

the DVX 100A was and is my first decent real camera, Im no expert what so ever, and found it really easy to use, within a few short weeks, after knowing nothing about filming, my stuff looked pretty good, Ive only been shooting in 24pn mode to try to obtain a film look, I would think outside of the film look would be easier. I give it thumbs up for my first camera, I think you probably would to, cheers

DVD for home use, but would like to get to tv. so is 24pa right for dvd but not tv ? I'd like to do both, I do understand the two different pulldowns as well as my editor vegas suports both of them, I;m just not sure what the average music video is shooting in, I know theres always going to be somebody doing something, just what is the general norm. if 24pn has a loss of data, wouldnt you want to shoot in 24pa ? so are you saying capture in 29.97 then use the 2:3 pull down in rendering to see the 24p film look ? thats what I've been doing and I'm curious if I'm doing it correct. I really appreciate all the advice, I am still learning, If you have any questions about audio, I would be glad to help any of you out, thanks for the help.

Hi all, what a great forum, I've been reading it like crazy for the last month, tonights my first post, Im a professional audio engineer for 20 years, but video not quite 2 years, I have the panasonic ag-dvx100a, after about 20 or so videos Its looking pretty good, Im striving for the best I can be, what would you all recomend for shooting music videos, 24p,30p,ect, I try to only shoot in the sun, bein that Im still learning, and figur Its my safest bet right now, what should I be using shutter wise, Im not doing fast panning, tripods, and camera dollies mostly, one last question I use vegas 6, If I do record in 24p, when Im capturing, do I capture in 24 fps film or 29.7 ? I know in 24p mode that Im recording at 23.976 so where should I be, Thank you all for any help
