Did you try muting the voice track and listening? <br> <p>One more thing to think about. You might have some filters on those sound <br> tracks that are causing a problem. <br> <p>It sounds like it might be some sort of copy protection beep to me. How's <br> that for a shot in the dark. <br> <p>Always good to hear from you Randy to show you're alive and still fighting

hi fellows, <br> I wonder if anyone has encountered this problem with FCP? <br> I am editing a regular timeline - meaning two voiceover tracks, with a <br> music cut underneath. During playback in one section, there is a <br> sudden, very loud honking sound that plays for about 1/3 seconds. It <br> doesn't happen all the time, and its not exactly in the same place

I understand fully and i will take your advice. I`ll try to enhance my light <br> with the iris. I was using high gain and that explains all the noise. I also <br> set my camera to 720p/60p instead of 1080/60i. We will see how it works in <br> the field this evening. Thank you for the help.

Okay, but you should keep in mind that it is much easier to boost <br> an under exposed shot up to decent levels in post, than rescue an <br> over exposed shot. Running in high gain, you risk blowing out <br> some highlights, and even if you bring the levels down acceptably <br> in post, you will never get that lost detail back. If you can see

Maybe, though I bet it's designed to take 120V, and it must be sealed. <br> Anyway, a bigger problem for people on this list might be the *shape* <br> of the light it casts. Presumably, like an incandescent, it's made to <br> throw a lot of light off to the sides; not at all what you want in an <br> on-camera light. You want all your light to get thrown in a 16X9

Ahh that might have been the problem. I was using high gain. I dont have the <br> luxury of doing a lot of in post editing due to the fact most of my shoots <br> are news related and they buy the video raw. So i have to have it some what <br> ok looking.

iris wide open will not increase noise. Using H gain, or even the <br> middle setting, will introduce lots of noise.

Thanks for the info. I`ll try 720/60p and i wont use H gain. I`ll mess <br> around and see if i can correct the problem. If i have the iris wide open <br> will that increase the noise? <br> <p>2009/10/6 Tim Selander &lt;selan...@tkf.att.ne.jp&gt;

I don't know your Canon, but while I hear the HMC is okay in lower light <br> compared to other small cams, I'm coming from broadcast cameras and it's <br> not all that impressive. However, you want to make sure you are shooting <br> manual, with the Gain switch set to L. Noise-wise, I think you'll be <br> better off shooting a little darker picture and lightening it up in post

I`m having problems with noise in low light conditions. I do a lot of work <br> in low light conditions. Just want some feed back on what i should have my <br> settings at to reduce the noise.

OK,OK. Bad idea. I've replaced VHS shells (held together with tiny screws) bad for good to use for timeshifting TV shows, so I figured... Well, anyway, I spoke to the couple last night and gave them a price which included covering the adapter and transfer fee. We'll see. Hope everyone enjoyed the melodrama. LOL!

I'm sorry Joel, but I have to think you're pulling our chain. Are <br> you _really_ considering ripping open two tape cassettes, <br> transferring the tape, and put the case back together to save <br> $30? What is your time and the tape worth?! Chances of success?! <br> Buy the adapter. If you're really _that_ hard up, email me and
