If you use Vegas, you'll need to convert your footage first. If you use Premiere, you can pre-render the raw H.264 files, but playback will be choppy without a lot of RAM or a <a href="http://www.divideframe.com/?p=gpudecoder" rel="nofollow">software decoder</a>.</small> What editing software do you use?

The 60p slo-mo was nice; the only thing I have to quibble about is that it seems to me to be one of those "Hey, Ma, watch me direct!" sort of things. My opinion; worth every pfennig you paid for it. Props to Anna; she doesn't seem to me to be able to do a bad take. (Maybe it's just me...) Cheers! Al B. A couple of notes:

Most people I know went for the wheelchair deal or the back of trucks..among other nonsense. Music videos are cool but when are you guys gonna fish out a real movie? Anna knows actors who will work for the experience alone..Those steadicam shots are perfect for an indie film feeling.. and 60p looks friggin sweeeeeet. O.O that is like the best idea ever.

Ended up with a little scratch on my elbow, camera and Steadicam were fine :) <br /> And I'd say upgrading to a 7D is a wise choice. We used to have a DVX as well. Just be warned that the H.264 7D footage needs a pretty powerful computer to edit with. How much RAM does your computer have?</small> That’s pretty much all I was thinking about as I fell too.

I was afraid for your camera more than I was for you when you fell, is that bad? Do you think I should sell my Panasonic dvx100b and purchase the 7d? None of the footage I have with it even comes close to the 7d. That was beautiful. I was afraid for your camera more than I was for you when you fell, is that bad?
