DV: 720x480 (or 576), 5:1 compression. HDV: 1440x1080, 20:1 compression. So basically you're looking at twice the resolution in both directions: p...
And get a sound recordist who isn't deaf: unfortunately it appears that most people who record sound on low-budget shoots must be, given the low quali...
Xpress Pro has something like that and Premiere 6.0 certainly does: I've used it to add a slow zoom in to remove boom mikes in the past.
Most editing programs have effects like that, though they're best avoided if possible: any time you scale the footage you're losing resolution, and it...
More to the point, if you're serious about a tape to film transfer (and a good one may cost you as much as shooting on film in the first place), then ...

I have to admit, I haven't wanted to throw my PC out of the window since I switched from Premiere to Avid... though Premiere did have a better interfa...
The other difference is that they shoot 24fps progressive HD, while for TV they'll be shooting 30fps (or 25fps in PAL countries) interlaced.

There are markets for shorts, but they're limited: I've met people who've made their money back getting small amounts from showings on a number of TV ...
Well, to be frank, most low-budget movies, particularly first low-budget movies, are not commercially viable. Though that's not to say that with a goo...
It's a factor of two in each direction away from HD :). DV is 720x480 (NTSC) or 720x576 (PAL), whereas HD goes up to 1920x1080. I think most curren...
DVCPRO HD is basically high-definition DV. AFAIR the codec is similar to DV, but compresses 1440x1080 at 100Mbps rather than 720x480/720x576 at 25Mbps...
Probably not: I think it's basically just a cut-down XL1 without interchangeable lenses and true manual audio control. I'm sure there's someone here w...
Good point: but I don't think it supports HDV yet, except with extra plug-ins you have to pay for.
