OK, thanks, Michael! That makes sense to me. Now I feel more comfortable adding music to the DVD. Thanks! Mike

Just a quick curious question: Janez, when you say you're transferring your FX1 video to 35mm film, will the final product be displayed on a TV or a theatre screen? I'd be very interested to see how a FX1/Z1 does in a thatre environment. Mike

First of all, thanks for your help! But... I know that I can use the music if it's just for one party to use, but since I am charging for my services, wouldn't that make the production "commercial"? That's my problem. Thanks again! Mike

Hi- While CineFrame is nice in the Z1, what if it happens to look better on the LCD screen than played back on a TV screen? What I would recommend is to shoot without CineFrame and work with your NLE (and possibly use Boris FX) to manually adjust how you want the film to look. To me, editing is always easier when you're dealing with footage that hasn't been digitally altered in the camera. Mike

Hi! Here's a link to a description of a production that used 3 A1U cameras mounted on a jib. They were taken to Madagascar to film for an American zoo. http://bssc.sel.sony.com/BroadcastandBusin...ers/index.shtml

Hi, I just started some actual filming jobs, such as bands and weddings. Well, I have a wedding coming up which I need to film, and one question is making me a little nervous: Suppose my clients (in which case would be the bride and groom) want me to use their favorite background music, which is, of course, copywrited material. Would I have to submit a request to the artist of that song to use it? If so, this is going to be one interesting production... Thanks! Mike
