I liked the video very much, I'm sure there are thousands of Paris short videos out there but this one had a very cozy feel to it. You present much of it from a very personal perspective which gives the video a natural perspective. </p> <p>There are only two things I would have done different. Paris is the city of love, the music you chose is a little to dramatic, , I think a more mellow, romantic tune would blend nicer. The other thing is, not sure what you used (only says JVC on your info) I would warm and enhance the colors a bit. there are some beautiful scenes but the colors look washed out. since this is not a documentary or a news reel I would add a special effect while editing to give a warmer glow here. </p> <p>Great video, takes you inside the journey.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/paris-france-video#post-51714 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 00:01:11 +0000 BZL Productions 51714@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I'm getting alot of views on this.

The file extension is either .mod or .tod, which is probably MPEG-2. I have a JVC Everio camcorder that records in MPEG-2 with editing software that actually supports it. MPEG-2 is the codec base of DVDs, but has not been used with camcorders for very long.</p> <p><a href="http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/tod-files-they-wont-play-on-any-player">http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/tod-files-they-wont-play-on-any-player</a></p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/transferring-video-from-jvc-gz-hm200-to-mac#post-47746 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 19:34:57 +0000 HDavid 47746@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>OK, justbought a JVC GZ-HM 200.  Cannot figure out from the their manual how o xfr video to my Mac.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/creating-dvds-with-jvc-everio-source-questions#post-47731 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 16:56:40 +0000 torumsie 47731@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Thanks for the replies, guys.</p> <p>cfulton:  Well, to tell the truth I don't think it's fully preprocessing it in Streamclip.  One huge problem I'm having right now is that I record in 16:9, but the bit isn't present in the video file so any player I use thinks it's a 4:3 source unless I tell it different... and I've not had the best of luck so far, probably because I'm a neophyte at video editing so am not as familiar with terminology and such as I should probably be.  When I process the video in Streamclip I make cuts and set the 16:9 flag, it only takes a few minutes to process when I do that after I save it to an *(edit).mpg file.  At that point I take into TMPGEnc and work with it there.</p> <p>XTR-91:  Thanks for the advice, and that information is something I needed.  I do dislike having to do re-encodes for no reason into MPEG-2 format, because of the level of encoding that is already in the format.  That's one reason I was so disappointed in Premier when I used it.  I've got the MPEG-2 plugin for it, but even when I just made cuts it would want to re-encode the ful thing instead of just assemble the cuts.  I always make sure to cut on a keyframe too, and I have a couple of tools which can retime the clip if needed but I normally don't need that.  So with Premier I was getting successively lower quality clips unless I did all my work without saving, which ate alot of memory and would eventually crash the program.  :-(</p> <p>Thanks for both, and I hope I'm not being too confusing.  I'm truly not trying to be obtuse, just getting a grip on things.  I'll probably see about transcoding it to DV-AVI and work with that file for edits, then finalize the work into MPEG-2 and author from there, I just have to get a handle on how large the files are going to be when doing that.  :-)</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/jvc-gy-hm100-in-the-house#post-47657 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 20:49:28 +0000 jburkhart 47657@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>OK. Just got it back and it's on my desk: Some observations-</p> <p>1. The quicktime workflow is the easiest I've ever used. Just drag and drop off the cards, or you can even edit straight off the cards. No capturing or transcoding needed.</p> <p>2. The camera also has an option to record an .mp4 file exactly like XDCAM EX, so you can use it with any of the same workflows, if you aren't on a mac, this is the mode you'd shoot in.</p> <p>3. Just took some shots in full sunlight outside the office. The pictures are very nice, with a larger contrast range than I was expecting. The camera handles highlights very elegantly, but of course blows out white when you get too hot.</p> <p>4. The LCD is a little small both in size and resolution, I wouldn't feel comfortable focusing on this without using the focus assist feature (peaking), it does have a nice option to keep the focus assist color, while making everything else black and white, which really helps you to see what's sharp in frame.</p> <p>5. The viewfinder is not all that great, but I haven't seen a good viewfinder on a camcorder since they stopped using tubes.</p> <p>6. The menu system makes sense and is very easy to navigate.</p> <p>7. Using the small wheel at the back to adjust the iris feels strange to me, though I probably could get used to it over time.</p> <p>8. Our reviewer said that low-light was a problem, but with 1/4" chips this is par for the course.</p> <p> </p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/jvc-gy-hm100-in-the-house#post-47647 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 17:01:55 +0000 VideoChick 47647@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>haha... our reviewer had some good things to say, I just got the report from him via email.. but he has yet to return the camera.. hum... keeping it over the weekend, perhaps?

To preserve quality, you are better off exporting in MPEG-2. If your editor can't produce MPEG-2, I would use the virtually lossless DV-AVI format.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/mountable-mics-good-for-filming-skateboarding#post-47579 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 00:00:33 +0000 robgrauert 47579@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>well mics use XLR cable, and since you're camera doesn't have XLR connections, you need an adapter.
