  • the reason this isn't HD is that HD wasn't the standard for Youtube in 2006.

    it was not until sometime in 2008 that Youtube started rolling out HD videos for users.

    that's just 4 years ago. alot can change.

  • how do u record hd on tape

  • Yo, I just got 200a today, it works great!

  • The difference between the HVX200 and the HVX200A is the sensor in the camera. The HVX200A is better in low light. @brownerfilm

  • whats the difference between a hvx200 and a hvx200a? thanks.

  • 240p, we meet again.

  • best question, why is your video not exported in the correct format, being students of a production program shouldnt you know how to do this? i mean its not that i learned it in college STEP YOUR GAME UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Thank you much for this. I used these in documentary class and forgot some things. This really helped in reeducation ways. Thanks again.

  • LOL this may be the best video I have seen in a long time.

  • that girl is so small

  • gay

  • Why is'nt this video in HD!?!?!?!

  • @zulfikar74 its an old video 

  • @zulfikar74 Cuz they want to make him look dull in SD lol

  • @zulfikar74 im 2006 240p was the only pixel size available

  • @zulfikar74 it was made in 2006, they didnt have HD back then

  • @zulfikar74 because they didnt film with the hvx!

  • @zulfikar74 look at the upload date

  • @zulfikar74 because this was made 5 years ago and back in 2006 240p was the only format youtube used but now a days they would be able to upload it to hd format

  • Um what special tripod??

  • @cozoner

    One that is rated for it's weight. The tripod they had was for tiny handycam camcorders. We use a 5K$ manfrotto carbon fiber fluid head tripod  with a spreader for our HVX 200.

  • Is the HVX200E the same camera ? There is also a HVX200A ?

  • This is wicked hilarious. Awesome job!

  • THE VIDEO ISNT EVEN HD!!

  • funny , creativ, looks professional

    and a lot of facts

  • funny , kreativ, looks professional

    and a lot of facts

  • Are we able to immediately see the level of depth of field (ex: shallow D.o.F.) on the LCD screen on the camera--or would it only show it after it's already finished recording?

  • Recently bought the HVX 200 and Im having trouble uploading to youtube and really making it look great. always comes out fogged or blurry looking.

    I have a video up that i shot with the hvx at 24a and its no where close to the quality on your hvx dv test.

    Any help would be appreciated

  • omggg I was watching this thinking it was a college... then I looked at the name... and realized it was my favorite youtube music group :D

  • So what exaclty is so special about a professional cameral like this? Tell me ALL the differences in why you or anyone should buy a professional camera for certain things and what extra features and specifications it has. Like why you need a P2 card for HD when you could just get a Fh1a Sanyo which records 1080p 60fps with a class6 sd card priced way lower and other stuff too. Thank you

  • @BBrtqB

    The HVX has 4:2:2 color space (google it)

    XLR inputs

    Variable / Interval Frame Rates

    Shooting onto p2 means your footage will have more flexibility in post. it contains more color data, its less compressed.

    24fps, cinema look.

    ND Filters for outdoor field shooting

    shuttler speed adjustable

    custom w/b

  • @cnguyen32 is it really worth it though?

  • @BBrtqB It all depends on what you use it for. I've produced a few narrative pilots and yes, I do need XLR inputs for wireless lav mics.

    If you're shooting stuff like music videos or experimental stuff where you just use your own music, you wont need that kind of stuff. It's about your budget and preference.

    I had a 7D for 3 weeks and sold it because it wasnt my cup of tea.

  • @cnguyen32 ok Thanks, i understand now and by the way, where exaclty can you get in the film industry with out going to say Hollywood, what kind of local jobs and a little extra income can it offer because im thinking of having a full time job and filming "something" in my spare time because i find editing and film "entertaining" any ideas?

  • @BBrtqB I started off doing wedding videography while in college. In our last semester, we were required to have 150 hrs of an internship. Luckily I landed one at NBC.

    You can check craigslist or "crew" gigs too. a lot of people need PA's but a lot of times they dont pay. That is just part of the business. Once you really know what you're doing, you can start producing your own stuff and look for people to fund your project! Hope this helps.

  • @cnguyen32 Ok thank you, i hope i don't waste 1900 dollars on my first "prosumer" cam. Itll be a while before i get one though.

  • @BBrtqB Google Canon HV30. Those are consumer cameras but they produce 24p footage. you can get them used for $500. Good luck.

  • @cnguyen32 Im starting with a very low end hd cam Fh1a, its a good cam but i got quite a while till i get a better job.

  • @cnguyen32 Im starting with a very low end hd cam Fh1a, its a good cam but i got quite a while till i can get a better can when i get a better job.

  • @cnguyen32 Reading back through all the comments, I have to say I found your answers very concise, informative and not condescending, (which was what I expected when I saw the intial question). I even got something from it. Wish more people out there on the net were like you.

  • thhhaanks HD

  • i want one

  • I love how this is in 4x3. However... very helpful. Thanks guys!

  • @thecheesefeed cuz it was uploaded in 2006

  • wait what does the red bouton dooo????

  • great video

    

  • thanks i never knew how to zoom in

  • u probably wouldnt no wot the zebra button was tho would u so stop being a dick nd gi hose is the worst insult in the world

  • Haha, i like how you say, its better in hd.. when you didnt encode an hd video.. you see that black space? that means you had hd footage, and rendered it out to standard def format. so good job!

  • @TheFakeTruth1 Lol I know, right.

    If there showing off how to do hd footage, they need to know how to render hd footage too;)

  • awesome! hahha. and helpful as well

  • lol that was great. Good job guys that was funny lol

  • I want this so bad! It is going to take me forever to save up for it though.

  • Does anyone have any good suggestions for a good Zoom lens kit which I could shoot things 50feet away closeup?

  • Fuck hvx200 get a HD-Slr.

  • @shaneuk666 fuck ya

  • is the Battery similar with the dvx n100b?

  • @nickgoesr0ar-

    im filming some stuff for a friend and ive never used this camera, this helps, so go eat a dick

  • GREAT, GREAT, GREAT!!! IF I GET HIRED, BASED ON WHAT I JUST SAW, I PROMISE TO LET YOU KNOW MATE. YOUR VID REALLY HELP ME OUT!!

  • @shahidmexico so your saying that you didn't know how to use this stuff and by this video you know now and you are getting a job with it. Chances are that you might not get hired due to the fact that there is a lot more to video editing then you think things like programs that sometimes may cost more than your camera and more.

  • @X15Studios Yeah, thats what im saying... but i got hired and trust me, i reading everything regarding this thing. I HAVE A JOB NOW!

  • @shahidmexico Well Congratulations!

  • If someone dident know how to do any of this stuff, they should not be buying this camera!! It pisses me off when people buy a camera like this without knowing how to use it. Go out and buy a little canon vixia then work your way up, dont go right to a hvx, hmc, ect... work your way up untill you actually know how to use a camera like this. Not trying to be mean just gets me mad.

  • this helped me so much as cony as it is, it's infomative!

  • you guys are the best

  • dan this is from 2006!

  • for the p2 card cant u jsut use usb since its solid state?

  • @pHaTdProductions You can but USB is usually on a shared bus on your computer so you will not get full transfer bandwidth.

    Normally, people buy p2 card readers that plug into a firewire port or exresscard slot.

  • you guys sound like of faggots

  • that was the most annoying thing ive ever seen

  • ill buy it off you for $10

  • lol this video is in low quality and they talk about high quality!

  • reminds me bioshock

  • Hey how is the film course at Fanshawe?

  • .com

  • Thanks guys!!

  • i finally got one!

  • It saved my life this video, tomorrow I have a shooting and they told me we were going to use this camera, I just needed to locate this buttons, and know how to operate like real fast, I couldn't find the user guide on pdf, does anyone has it?, this video just saved my life

  • Comment removed

  • Good informative video - well edited and idiotproof for, well, the idiots to understand!

  • Entry level stuff, but a start for those who need it.

  • I think this is great for people who are interested in learning more about HVX camera..

  • If someone buys an hvx200, they should already know or have some experience with these things. Im sorry but im really tired of people buying things they dont know how to use.

  • @NickGoesR0aor

    This looks like a school project... don't hate on school...

  • @namyrb I'll hate on whatever I want, especially school. The schools in Florida are fucking horrible, the teaching system sucks, and the administrators that are supposed to protect you are doing an even worse job.

  • @NickGoesR0aor

    That very well may be true (not that I've ever been to Florida)... but the point I was trying to make was that you were calling this guy out on something that he didn't do... and now the red herring...

  • @NickGoesR0aor Peopel are not born with skills they learn things as they grow.your comment make no sens.

  • @labivlor Your spelling is horrid. But yes it does make sense, if you're trying to learn things as you grow, you should start out with the simple and move your way up to the difficult.

  • @NickGoesR0aor You should check out the video of Rob Rodriguez using a new digital camera on the set of, "Mexico". He bascially say's we never seen a digital camera like this, and we are just figuring out on set. That's on a hollywood level, so i say go for it! Learn as you go...

  • @NickGoesR0aor So if someone decides to upgrade from a high end consumer camera or DSLR they should already know how to use a prosumer camera like an HVX? How exactly would you expect them to learn it? Through constant rentals?

  • @NickGoesR0aor I'm tired of the people who are like, I want a 7D and think that their DSLR is just as good in every way to a proper camera. 

  • @moomee237 There better in some aspects.

  • @ElliottChess3x such as?

  • @moomee237 For starters, low light.

  • @ElliottChess3x How is it better in low light?

  • @moomee237 look it up son. you cant beat the low light of a dslr.

  • @ElliottChess3x

    DSLR's are overrated. Yes the are good in low light, I admit that. I had a EOS 7D for three weeks then sold it because of the following reasons.

    1. it looks unprofessional.

    2. it does not have the ability to show zebras

    3. it does not have a vu meter

    4. it has no xlr inputs. even if you use an xlr adapter, the camera has built in gain adjustments that you CANNOT control.

    5. no title safe

    6. you cannot set unique TC

  • @cnguyen32 I guess it does look unprofessional to someone who doesn't know anything about filming but to a filmer it does look professional. There have been a few movies shot with dslrs. Zebra stripes are for those who can't set their exposure. And you dont need the xlr outputs or the gain using the agc hack and if you don't know what that is the you need to gtfo. But if you really want to spend $1000+ dollars on a few features, then have a ball.

  • @ElliottChess3x

    This type of advice is coming from someone who says "Filmer" come on now. Zebras are used by professionals. I'm sorry, its been that way for who knows how long. What FULL FEATURE has been shot with a dslr that has been on the big screen? Here at NBC, we only use DSLRs for BTS and B-roll.It has no sync gen so you cannot do live multicam.

    Just stick to shooting skate videos. You don't have the knowledge to produce anything better.

  • @cnguyen32 Fuck NBC. CW11 Ftw.

  • @BBrtqB You talk mad confusing smh dude.

  • @ElliottChess3x ya srry

  • @cnguyen32 and dont think im trolling about the hvx200. I have an hmc150 myself and I think its a great cam, but I think the 7d is amazing when your 15 years old and work at a horsestable making 18 dollars an hour.

  • @NickGoesR0aor What if someone is renting this camera? It could be the first prosumer/professional camera that you own. You have to start somewhere...

  • @NickGoesR0aor I know what you mean. I use this camera now and again and have always been into advanced photography - SLR photography. I know a fair amount about it. But this video is for a college to show the students how to use it.

  • @NickGoesR0aor Why, do they bother you? Its their problem...

  • @NickGoesR0aor dude - isn't it obvious that these college students simply chose this topic for a project?

  • @NickGoesR0aor dude - isn't it obvious that these college students simply chose this topic for a project? I'm sorry but I'm really tired of people criticizing things without understanding the source material.

  • @NickGoesR0aor Well if i buy a red one I am not buying it because i know how to use it..i am Buying it because its a red one! and dude did you even watch the video? its obviously a comedy....

  • Jesus, calm down.

  • @NickGoesR0aor

    than you should kill all the iPhone owners hahaha..

    I didn't know how to use my HVX-200 1 week ago and now i know everything about it.. so please let people learn how to use stuff and if you know how to use it:

    1. Try to pass your info

    2. Shut the fuck up

  • @NickGoesR0aor Umm.. What the guy directly below you says.

  • @NickGoesR0aor i know you posted 10 months ago, but whats wrong with people buying knew things? how else do people learn about new things if they don't get new things to learn about? sure, they could rent the 'thing', learn about it, then buy it, but then you've wasted money on renting the product. save the money, buy something new, learn about it. that's how life works.

  • @NickGoesR0aor I respectfully disagree in theory.  You should know something about the basic principles of photography and lighting. If this is your first pro cam, then God bless you. Shoot every day and learn every aspect of the camera and you'll be better than more than half the herd out there with their RedEpic's. Also, only post your best stuff to the web.

  • very helpful...idk what half those buttons did.

  • These cameras go for $5,000 new. If you got it for $1,600 you either bought a 1st gen oldie, or you bought it from someone who didn't know what they had.

  • this is 5000 bucks

    i rather get the sony vx2000

  • no there not. i got mine for 1600

  • @skateemerica134 where!?!?!?&%$#&&%#

  • @MIA305SkateKR3W

    ill sell you my vx2000...

    im guessing you're filming skating right?

  • Nice job making this an homage to vintage news film. Before zooming manually, be sure to switch to the manual setting on the front of the camera under the lens.

  • thats like $4000

  • i got mine for 2 on ebay hehhehe

  • @detroituntilidie haha lucky

  • very, i love it. cant wait for my knee to heal up after this surgery so I can go out and shoot!!

  • @detroituntilidie Took an arrow to the knee almost a full year and a half before it was in vogue. Lol. Hope your shooting now as often as possible. Go Motor City!

  • Love this vid. I took the info you provided here, printed it out, laminated it, and attached it to my AG HVX200.

    I really hope you can help with the following: When I take footage, I find that the phase lines (if that's what they are) are evident in the imported videos. They're particularly evident with subjects that are at an angle. Is this something that's evident when shot on Digital Tape and not a P2 card or is the camera not properly calibrated? Thanks in advance.

  • cool. very creative. congratulations. was so funny. tks for making me lol.

  • nice video

  • That was cool. thanks

  • I hope this wasnt recorded using a Panasonic HVX200 cuz this looks like shit. Granted, this vid is pretty old :)

  • "as laurel and hardy would say"... LOL

  • for the novice this is fantastic....

  • what a useless video, have you ever heard of an owners manual? And never use image stabilization it cuts your resolution.

  • Is this a nice camera to film skateboarding/twin-tip ?

  • yes. if you didnt no that than i dont suggest you get it.

  • yes for sure very good for skateboarding

  • Yes.

  • yes

  • WOW! I had no idea I had to press the zebra button to get the zebra pattern. Thank you G.I Hose!

  • Where can i get these kind of songs like an old 50's advertising movie , where i can get some please ?

  • Great job on this ...fun and clear. You'd think the other zoids here could said so....

    Hey go see the Michael Jackson doc. It's a knockout.

  • where?

  • probly not legit

  • yea its probly busted

  • a great SD camera is the DVX100B We have them at myschool and they are AMAZING. I think we just got HVX's as well.

  • I found one brand new for $3000.

  • on the zoom i was taught that the T stood for tighten and the W was for widen

  • Wide-Telephoto

  • you forgot the 3rd way you can record media, onto the Firestore FS-100

  • Why are you guys arguing over whats better for skateboarding?

    If I had an HVX I'd film with it just as much as my VX1000/mk1.

  • how much is this cam? like 1500?

  • around $6000

  • Around $4000-$6000

  • more like 3 to 4

  • I have some videos recorded by HVX-200P camera at DVCPRO 25M 480i 60i see my channel gersom85 and was edited and exported on Premiere Pro CS4...

  • that was so good and funny good job man

  • This is to post ridiculous thing I've ever seen. Losers.

  • what is the total capacity of P2 cards that this camera supports? and also the hdx202..thx.

  • aye, is this better than the Sony VX2100?? I wanna use for skating, but is it good quality wise, user friendly, and just lightweight?

  • Befor you get into cameras like these bro you need to learn about your cams my freind.

    it's far better than a 21 and its not as light as a 21

  • get the vx21. HVX are more bulky and will cost more if you don't have enough RAM or space on your camera if anything get a hmc150 or hmc40

  • get a vx2000 bro. not a vx2100 or a HVX-200...

  • it shoots HD witch the vx2100 does not do but its bigger and heavier so if you skate around with your camera not drive from spot to spot it will suck. you have the option to use the century optics xtream fisheye witch you dont with the vx2_00. if your not shooting for like a great skate team it not worth it in my eye. the vx2_00 and vx1000 is still the skate industry standard. personally i would also go with a vx2000 over a vx2100 because the only major difference it there price.

  • The best camera is Sony DCR-VX1000, because the colors are tooo beautiful, and with a good handle on the cam you probaly a pro in filming, and for the fsiheye for a vx100 i would recommand Century Optics Mk1 Fisheye

  • both these cameras have good video quality. hvx would most likely be better. but it is alot heavyer/ but a vx2100 is realy good for skateboarding. i would recomend that

  • me too, the vx21 is one of best skateboarding cameras, if you want something cheaper or not too big but with the same quality i recomend the Sony trv900.

  • How can I get both audio channels with my sennhiser on my HVX200 using channel one

  • Switch both of your camera Channel selects to "Input 2", then attach your Sennheiser through the XLR Input 2 on the front of the camera. Turn on the Mic Power for Input 2, set your levels, and record.

    PS: You probably already figured this out by now, but I hope it helped anyway.
