Of course, it's a nice camera. How much did you pay for it (I think you probably paid 2 grand for the name "sony" only)?
Yeah, stupid me bought a 1 chip DVcamcorder lately, only because it was cheap. Wouldn't buy something with less than 3 Chips (3CCD) anymore! In a 1/6" (1)CCD camera, red, green and blue have to SHARE one chip for all the work. No surprise the images are unsharp and require lots of light...
Well, probably I'll sell the camera to some stupid ;) and buy me a cheap 3CCD model. I was thinking about a Panasonic GV 130 - it has almost every feature I need, but there is no built in hires photo-mode (don't need that anyway) etc. Of course, I'd prevere a GV400, but this one costs a little more.
I was thinking about to buy Chromanator too, it's pretty cool. But again, I try not to spend too much money for now, so I have downloaded "Zwei-Stein", a freeware that can do Greenscreening etc.
I'm using MAGIX Video deluxe 2005 (aka MAGIX Movie Editor 2005)as Editor. It's real good for the price. Not as good as Premiere Pro or Avid, but still lot's better than most cheap apps.
I was working on some blitz tools too to add particles etc. to avis. Maybe I'm gonna release them one day.
Are there any redundancies with Chromanator and AlamDV? Can you do visual FX with both of them? I mean, the sword etc., was it done in chromanator?
EDIT: I have tested the mentioned "Zweistein". Although it's a nice multipurpose freeware tool, it's greenscreening isn't better than other apps. It still shows the well known DV Matte Line artefacts, resulting from 4.1.1. DV Compression. It really seems like somebody from the Blitz Community was required (me) to write a greenscreening app that isn't extremly unintelligent :P . I have successfully implemented an optimizing greenscreening algorithm. Still got to make a user interface tho.
Sorry, this was kind of off topic.
