Yo Ben! Trying to get in contact with you about your VX intro you used to put in the beginning of your videos. Did you make that yourself or did you have someone make it for you? Glad to see you’re still posting.
Looks like in both examples that your deinterlacer is just throwing away every other field of video during playback. Reason I say that is that there is pretty extreme jaggedness on all horizontal lines. These same clips if properly deinterlaced will look about twice as good. If you want to see what decent deinterlacing looks like for playback, open the same DV file in VLC, pause it, then go to Video menu -> Deinterlace (set to on), then go to Deinterlace Mode right below it and choose "Phosphor" and resume playing the file. You can permanently deinterlace it to a progressive file with something like QTGMC so that playback looks correct in other applications.
Sony HVR-MRC1 worked fine for me. Had some trouble at first since the input on the vx was not working correctly but on the second vx it works perfect. Easy to use and footage comes out crispy
Hi Ben, thankyou for this vid first of all. Do you know any links to battery's for the HMC-151? I cant seem to find one that seems to be real, i only found this: Akku für Panasonic VW-VBG130 VW-VBG070 VW-VBG260 DMW-BLA13 HDC-DX1 PATONA. Do you think this works?
2 years late but this is massive . just picked up one of these with a 64gb card included for 270 quid and this video has already cleared up some confusion ive had with it. I reckon if you're ever in Nottingham its a pint and some fish and chips on me lad 😂 x
Hi Ben, Thanks to taking the time to make the informative video. I have an AG-HPX170 (still like new). I just added a HC-X2 4K, Sound Devices MixPre-6 II and Rode Wireless Pro. It looks like the 1394 input is the feed for timecode. There is also the possibility of sending TC on one of the audio tracks of the HPX170. A timecode unit with 1394 would be great. Maybe I should just clap. Any advice would be great. Thanks
I'm not sure if you can send timecode via the XLR, a clap could do it, or (annoyingly) manually setting them and trying to start them at the same time is also an option
@@BenJonesVideographer I am going to try something. Rode wireless Pro / 3.5 TRS - SDI / SDI splitter at the HC-X2 / SDI - TRS male to TRS female - XLR Female / Xvive Audio U3T 2.4 GHz Digital Wireless Transmitter. An Xvive Audio U3R 2.4 GHz Digital Wireless Receiver on the AG-HPX170. Converting timecode to metadata will be the next issue. Hopefully Premier Pro can do it now.
Absolutely, I'd be careful with going too far with the master ped as it's only a 4:2:0 8bit file so you can't bring it back as easily compared to 4:2:2 on the HPX/HVX
Is there any way to make the keyhole effect even more intense? Or even more distorted? I own an Ursa12k (which can only do EF, PL and M42) otherwise I would have bought the 7Artisans 4mm. But the adapters also look cool, like the HAL250
Currently trying to find a fisheye lens to use for a weird streaming setup (camcorder > USB Capture > OBS) so it can see as much of my studio space as possible. Not having any luck here in Brazil (plus import taxes are a nightmare haha).
Hey! I wanted to ask whats wrong about the digital recorders aside from the crazy prices? I plan on getting a firestore fs4 to use with my sony hvr z1 so i want to know if im making a good choice, thanks for your time!
Hey I’m using a Sony ax700/ mk1/modded vx1000 mic for an hdvx setup and need a bit of help with an audio issue. The vx1000 mic (an actual vx1000 mic modded to 3.5mm input) doesn’t sound like a vx, so I got an Irig pre 2, xlr to 3.5mm audio interface and just need a bit of help fine tuning it
Hi Ben, amazing video! What settings would you recommend (e.g avchd 1080p60) if you're editing HPX footage with other camera footage that's at different resolutions/framerates?
