??? my fault or yours??

:-)

[markusman25]

so do I, all of my vid projects since I did this test I shot in TV mode, it just looks cooler and more modern. thanks for watching!

[avrillavigneissexy]

Wow, is this camera really worth it?

Did you use a tri pod or not?

For the price, you can't beat it. Compared to all the other consumer cams, this gives you the most shooting options if you're into filmmaking. No tripod. Cheers!

I couldn't help but laugh at 1:47 because the man kept on looking at the bottle after every sip he took of the drink.

24p cinemode is better if you're going to do color correction because it has a higher dynamic range since the contrast is so low.

I only need my NLE to splice and dissolve. I use Blender's composite nodes and modeling for titles & effects. I like that I can accomplish everything in one suite. And in the words of me.. Use a NLE that makes you *want* to use it. :) Happy cutting. We're all after the same thing.

[sonicballer8888]

ok i see that now. but why would you EVER use Blender to edit a video? it doesn't have nearly the amount of options of a real NLE

[chitalker]

@sonicballer8888

um.. open blender, press ctrl+right arrow twice.

[maliveseljak2]

Wow. thank you for this video. I use to shoot in 24p, but this 30p tv mode looks so cool ... :)) Thank you!

[sonicballer8888]

quality isn't different. the main difference between the two is just contrast, and that in tv mode you can change shutter speeds, and in cinemode shutter speeds automatically work at 1/48 and slower.

[Vollrath1114]

does the quality still look good in TV mode? I am looking to make videos out in town where i interact with people.. what mode would be best? i really don't understand the diference.. I am getting a Canon HV20

@chitalker

um.. blender is a 3d animation software. Not a NLE. NLE means Non-linear editor. blender is nowhere near an NLE.

You can tell the big diff. when you put the video onto a DVD and play it in a standard DVD drive TV mode looks like a regular camcorder. Cine Mode (when edited right) gives you that close to film look, i always record in Cine Mode, i Have the Canon HF20
