How about the JVC GY-HD100U w/ FCP?

I am being offered a quote at cost for this ProHD camcorder. My immediate needs are broadcasting local commercials and maybe some webcasting. I have been warned by peers that the JVC-HD has proprietary issues with FCP. However, if my immediate needs do not require HD is this a good deal? or if I am willing to spend in the ball park of $5k is there a Sony or Panasonic ProHD camcorder that will offer all of the features fully compatible with FCP?

The first HD-100's had some issues that were addressed by a free upgrade to HD-100A. Mine came with the upgrade. It's marked A on the bottom of the camera. I have seen this problem on footage from my JVC, and I now realize, the demo JVC and a demo Panasonic HVX-100. It's worst on footage from my JVC, but there is some stuttering on all of them. Might be time for a new Mac, still testing.
Most users are very happy with the HD-100 and FCP 5.1.2
As for preferences, it depends more on what you do and how you use the camera than anything else. All of the baby HD cams have some issues, but all are great tools for the price point.

    I'm not sure where you see that the links I gave suggested that. The iPhoto link (quoted below) in step 4 suggests dragging the library to the new location. You can do that in Finder by dragging the library to the external disk in the Finder sidebar. If you don't have a sidebar in Finder, go to the Finder View menu and click Show Sidebar. If the external disk isn't visible in the sidebar, go to the Finder Preferences, click Sidebar at the top of the Preferences window, and put a checkmark in front of External disks in the Devices section.
    You can move your entire iPhoto library to a different computer, a hard disk, or another location on your computer.
    Important:    Before you move your iPhoto library, it’s a good idea to back it up to a DVD or external hard disk.
    Move your iPhoto library
    If you’ve created multiple photo libraries, be sure to move only the library currently displayed when iPhoto is open. To move a different library, you first need to switch to it.
    Quit iPhoto.
    In the Finder, choose your home folder (it’s usually named after you).
    Open the Pictures folder (in the home folder) to locate the iPhoto Library file.
    Drag the iPhoto Library file to a new location on your computer.
    Open iPhoto.
    In the window that appears, select the library you want, and then click Choose.

  • About the JVC KS-PD500 interface Adapter & Zen MicroPhoto

    Hi everybody,
    I have found some info about the JVC KS-PD500 interface Adapter, that is intended to be used between the mp3 Player XA-HD500 (http://www.infosyncworld.com/reviews/n/6374.html) and JVC Car Audio.
    The JVC mp3 player uses Windows media player 0, like the Zen Micro & Microphoto, so I think the adapter could work with our Zen's.
    Anybody could confirm if it works?
    Regards

    Yes. Original iPhone can use firewire charging; 3G cannot.
    Is there any fix for it? like another adapter in between in the connector to make it charge my iPhone 3G? so that I can listen music in car but don't need to worry about the battery.
    I'd imaging there will be some sort of adapter or dongle or much existing hardware will be obsoleted by this very strange design decision.

  • Apple send the iphone from Singapore, but i'm purchasing from malaysia apple online store, how about the warranty?

    I receive the parcel that apple sent today, but i found that Apple send the iphone from Singapore, but i'm purchasing from malaysia apple online store, How about the warranty? is that warranty available in malaysia?? or singapore ?

    Singapore is the AFE distribution centre for Apple , in the same way all online purchases from Apple in Europe ship from Ireland the European Distribution centre
    As Templeton has indicated the location you buy from is the only relevant information for warranty

  • How about the Graphic Performance?

    Hello all!
    May someone can help me to get that clarified ...
    I have a MacMini with Thunderbolt connection. Latley I started to use RC Flight simulator which challenges the video card of my MacMini pretty much.
    How about a Thunderbolt Display? Will TB just "substitute" my current HDMI-Connection or will some computing power be "outsourced" to the display? In other words: will the graphic performance of my MacMini improve using a TB-Display or does it stay the same because the build in video card is still "in charge"?
    Thx for your help!

    No question the Thunderbolt is without doubt a fantastic display, however to answer your question I'm personally experiencing a performance drop (see my very recent thread in this forum).
    One of my reasons for finally getting the Thunderbolt Display was to enjoy some proper gaming on a big screen for 3D games both within OS X and Bootcamp. Even when I match my MacBook Pro 17" unibody's (early 2011) top resolution with the Thunderbolt Display for a like for like comparison, I get a performance drop which I was hoping would never happen. I was hoping that with the MacBook Pro in closed 'clamshell' and thus the MacBook Pro switching it's own display 'off' and presumably diverting all of the GPU's performance power straight to the Thunderbolt Display via it's direct fast Thunderbolt bus; that it would at the very very least match the performance when using the MacBook Pro's own display, but currently I have to choose the 'very low' graphics setting on some games to maintain a decent frame-rate for smooth game play.
    Mybe this is not a permanent Thunderbolt Display problem/fault and might be resolved at some point by means of a software, display driver or display/thunderbolt/GPU firmware update. If that be the case then I'll know there's hope at the end of the tunnel. Understandably I wasn't expecting my MacBook Pro 17" early 2011 to perform miracles with it's graphics performance anyhow, but it's 1GB Graphics adapter isn't all that bad either and is a half decent card that can give acceptable results. But If you where to match the resolution of the Thunderbolt Display to that of the MacBook Pro for comparison for yourself and then run a 3D game like say 'Dirt 2', you will soon realise there are slight performance issues; unless of course I'm doing something wrong.
    Here's hoping this may only be a temporary drawback for the Thunderbolt Display with 3D applications/gaming.

  • How about the license

    I'm worry about the license, I have 34days expire to use this, so after license no have expire, How can I use Visual Studio??????

    What version of Visual Studio do you have. Give the year and the edition (e.g. 2013 Professional Edition, or 2012 Express Edition).

  • Marker Keys Expression, how about the last key

    Hi, if you have dabbled in expressions you probably have already found how nifty the expression
    thisLayer.marker.nearestKey(time);   is. I first used it to put XMP metadata on the screen.
    I also tend to use it for changing text instead of the source property since it's easy to see the text,
    where it's at and so forth.
    I've read the manual, but haven't found anything like:
    thisLayer.marker.lastKey(time);
    What I would like is for whatever property I am using from the last keyframe to remain the value until it reaches
    the next keyframe.
    Anyone know how that might be done?

    Mylenium, You and your site have been more than helpful to me. It's people like you that make any community worth it's while.
    Adobe should put a larger than life statue of you in the center of San Jose, or at least give you like free vacations to hawaii or something :-)
    If you are ever in my neck of the woods I'm buying
    I have a project I am supposed to turn over to other studios so they can use it as a template. Rather than have them dig around through layers to change titles and stuff, I am putting all the keyframes into a configuration composition and having all the other layers take their cues from it.  Never tried to do anything like that before but it's actually looking like a nice solution and an easy way to set up timing and text through all the compositions just by opening one and editing. I think the extra work and the extra expressions will pay off as the project gets used over and over.
    Again Thanks, can't wait to get into the studio monday and try this out.

  • How about the possibility to export a CONSOLIDATED BACKUP FILE ?

    Hello you all !
    Like many others, I feel the need to own a backup file of my activity on Spotify. It's not at all that I don't trust Spotify, but issues can (and sometimes do) occur with data, and having a simple comprehensive file would really bring peace of mind to me :-) 
    Personnally, I would like to create this backup file every month or so, in a .csv, .xls or .txt format, via a simple export function.
    It would include playlists artists and titles of course, giving some more details as : playlist addition date, local file or not, if it happened mention of deletion from the Spotify database (contract changed between artist and Spotify), if it happened mention of automatic title switch in the Spotify database (same reason), title lentgh, album name. Furthermore, this backup file would also include the whole list of followed artists, also mentionning here when an artist would disappear from the Spotify database (hopefully in rare cases :-)).
    My personal music is very important to me, and being certain that I can keep a reliable backup of my likes, dislikes, and music choices is crucial for users like me. THANKS FOR SHARING THIS IDEA IF YOU LIKE IT !

  • My website was hacked, I made a new one and placed it on a new server. How about the red warning page on firefox for returning visitors?

    Hi I have a problem. My businesswebsite www.steunkousgemak.nl was hacked and the hacker placed mallware on it. My link on google had a warning and when you wanted to visit my site on firefox there was a red warning page. I made a new website so it's deffinately clean, moved it to a different server and have a new hostingpackage. Now I am wondering if firefox automaticly saved the warning for all visitors that where on my website when it was infected, and so that they still see the warning when they want to visit my site now? if yes, how can I solve this?thank you a lot for your answer!regards Steven

  • How about the Mac mini as an Apple TV with a HD?

    Has anyone tried a Mac mini with its HDMI output as a substitute for the now old model Apple TV? Yes, it is more expensive and needs a keyboard but it has a huge HD that could hold all your music photos and video and be located right at your TV. Once it booted you could use Front Row and a remote to control it. Once I saw that the Mac mini came with an HDMI output, I wondered if the days were numbered for Apple TV.
    Any obvious downsides?

    Has anyone tried a Mac mini with its HDMI output as a substitute for the now old model Apple TV?
    Yes, I did and it works great. It's a Mac, so it has the OS X desktop rather than the ATV media browser, but playing HD video through it's HDMI port is great. It can play all of my iTunes videos in addition to just about everything an ATV can't play. I'm using it mainly to watch Hulu Plus at present.
    It has been correctly pointed out in the past that some HD rentals from the iTunes store are available only through the ATV, but the new ATV does not have a hard drive, so direct purchases will be impractical. I expect that rental restriction will change in iTunes 10 as all content for the new ATV will have to stream from another location.

  • Syncing with Plaxo - how about the photos?

    Hi all,
    I've been using Plaxo for a while to keep the calendars and address books of my wife and myself in sync(different me.com usernames - when will Apple support this syncing between family members??).
    Until now, this has worked without too much issues.
    Q: I recently added a photo to someone's card (via my iPhone), and this replicated correctly to the address book on my 13" MacBook, as well as my online me.com address book - but it apparently didn't get uploaded to Plaxo (and hence also did not (yet) make it across to my wife's address book.
    I cannot seem to find a setting to enable or disable this feature - guessed that all address book info get's transferred over with Plaxo, no??
    Any ideas (other than manually copying/mailing the pic over: just want this to work automagically...)
    Thanks, & greets,
    Dirk

  • If my ipad photo stream photo have reach 1000 photo my ipad will automatic delete the picture right? Then how about the picture inside my computer? It will also deleted?

    Hlp fix pls

    Well there you go, when you advertise it just be sure to say that you can't even see the scratches at half brightness and see how it goes.
    Of course you are saying you want $500 for one with many scratches on the screen, has been dropped, but the scratches aren't visible at half brightness, and has no warranty. Or I can buy a refurbished iPad 4 WiFi 32 GB directly from Apple with no scratches and a one year warranty for $499. http://store.apple.com/us/product/FD514LL/A/refurbished-ipad-with-retina-display -wi-fi-32gb-white-4th-generation
    Why would I buy yours?
    I wouldn't pay more than $300 for a used model with your specs in perfect condition. But yours is far from perfect. I think your high point is $250 which is why I said 50%.

  • How about the Internet DBO certification?

    Hi, My friends:
    I am preparing for Oracle 8i Database operator exam(#1ZO-411). After searching on the Amazon,I only found one book for this exam(The book I found is Jason Couchman's DBO certification exam guide-0072123613, published by Oracle in 2000). Unfortunatelly, This book actually is for Oracle 8 DBO test that has expired in March, 2002. I will appreciate if you can give me some advice on how to prepare this exam and which other books I need to prepare this exam since this single book seems not good enough. Thanks for your help!
