Tape Info:

Q...What tape should I use?

Each tape's base material cups over the head and tape transport, under normal operation conditions the tape's "dry" lubricant accommodates the cupping of the particular tape being used. When changing to a different brand of tape, the cupping of the base material can be slightly different. This may cause dry lubricant build-up to become dislodged, which can result in head clogs, so it is advisable to always run a cleaning cassette in the camcorder for a few seconds to remove any lubricant residue. In order to minimize the use of head cleaners try to stay with one brand of tape.

Q... How do I edit my HDV Footage

Note: With the recent event in the exchange rate the price of an HDV Camcorder has become even more affordable.

Keep in mint that editing HD footage on any computer will require at least a dual core processor to handle the data rate. As an alternative you can down convert through the camera or deck to standard DV format, which is still a better image than using standard DV. This also allows you to save your footage in higher quality HDV for future purposes.

The Following Software packages work with the new HDV Camcorders

Canopus Edius Pro 4 and 4.5, 4.6

Final Cut Pro 6.0 and higher

Adobe Premiere CS3
