  Petr Tomicek commented on Tell Your Story! How Did You Find Vimeo?

  I googled youtube HD :). I was really sick of youtube's prehistoric resolution and content generally, so I set on a journey to find a new, better source of videos, because there just had to be something out there.

  Petr Tomicek commented on Final Cut Pro on Macbook.

  The difference between Macbook and Macbook pro are as following: 1)Lower processor speed - most important thing when working and encoding video. 2)Lower processor cache - same as above 3)no dedicated graphic card - not sure how much effect this has, however I think I read somewhere that final cut uses the nvidia/ati graphics card to speed up effects and stuff 4) smaller screen - people get macbook pro for editing because it has bigger screen and you can get up to 17 inch high resolution screen (can display full HD). There are few things I can say. Macbook pro is designed for professionals, audio or video, in mind, it is also a reason why macbook will never get all the advantages listed above. You will be able to edit on macbook, but the experience will not be as pleasant as on macbook pro. If you want a cheap Macbook pro, I recommend looking at apple website for refurbished units, they appear time to time and mainly at the time when new generation/upgrade is made available. The new generation is expected sometime in the summer.

  Thank you Eugenia, it is much more clearer now. As for the need of PC, I run Vista 64-bit in Mac OS through virtualization, so I shouldn't have any problems using the tutorials you linked. Once again thank you.

  I think you should always be able to edit even after an hour whatever reason you might have. However, you should be able to give reason why you edited and others should see your original post (ie. next to edit information and reason would be a small link that would reveal the original that would be otherwise hidden).

  Petr Tomicek commented on Many newbie questions about movie making (fps, resolutions and i

  Hi everyone, First of all I'd like to say how great I think this Vimeo community is and videos that it created. They are so good it inspired me to move from documenting things I do in life from photography to video. What I have now is the latest Macbook Pro so I assume I will be doing all the editing on it. The camera I am going to buy is the HV30, which seems to be same as HV20, which seems to be very popular here because of its image and price. The software I will be using is going to be Final Cut Express, as it's more professional than iMovie, but not as expensive as Final Cut Pro (I'm a university student so I can't afford professional software and hardware) So here comes my understanding of things and the questions: 1) There are many formats and frame rates in which the HV30 can record. From what I understand HV30 can record up to 1080i at 60fps. Does interlaced mean that ever other line in a frame is skipped so each frame has 540 vertical lines? And when deinterlaced it combines two frames to achieve the full 1080 vertical lines and therefore dropping the frame rate to half? Also, do you deinterlace before editing or when you export the final product? 2) After the final movie is made there are three things I'd like to do with it: put it online here, put it on a DVD and finally put it on Blu Ray in HD. Here is when frame rates confuse me. Dvd format is at 25fps, the preffered Blu Ray Format is 24p and video here on Vimeo are also at 24fps. If I shoot at 1080i at 60fps, what effect will it have when converted to dvd resolution and framerate (if even possible)? Also, I know that Final Cut Express does not support 24p, but I looked on some tutorials (Euginia's ones especially) and found out there are workarounds for this without (hopefully) loosing any quality. The question here really is: Can I go and shoot at 1080i at 60fps and use the footage for all of these uses or will I have to shoot at different frame rates knowing for which media I am shooting? This really confuses me as I want to make travel movie and you can't really shoot everything twice at different frame rates. I guess that is all for now. Thank you all in advance for your answers. Petr
