Great job! Thanks!

I use Vegas Pro as well with my 150. You mention that you transcode to Cineform.

Why is that?

@TheWisdomSpeakers It was lartrak who made the comment, so you'll need to go to his section to ask him "Why?", but most like to transcode because they like to edit in a CODEC that's designed for editing. This speeds things up and when doing multi-layering can be a lot easier to work with. The "loss" in quality is next to nothing when transcoding to an editing CODEC.

when you were switching the gain from 6dB and 12dB the dB means how much pressure waves which means the gain you were setting was for the audio not picture

[KQ6WQ]

@chilidog1001 No, the gain switch was for video, not audio. The controls to the back of the camera control audio gain.

It's an option built into Final Cut. It does of course take time, but it should still be faster than real time. I believe you use the "capture" option to do it.

I don't actually use Final Cut though (I use Vegas Pro and transcode to CineForm), it's just something I've seen others talking about on forums.

@lartrak how do you transcode to ProRes, does it take time?
