ACM event at eBay


It all went smoothly.  I used G3 lav for speaker audio and Sony PCM-M10 to record ambient sound and questions.  HF G20 used to shoot slides, G7 with 12-35 f2.8 lens to film audience, GH4 with 35-100 f2.8 lens to film the speaker.
Here is my post workflow:
  • Copy all the footage into editing workstation.
  • Import the footage into Sony Vegas Pro.  Work around Sony bug of importing Panasonic footage.
  • Sync all the tracks.  I do it by waveform.  HF G20 requires adding extra frame of silence between MTS files.  Sony PCM M10 is typically skewed tward faster clock so requries added silence (fraction of a sec) as well.
  • Do multi-track editing.
  • For all video tracks: add these filters: white balance, brightness and contrast, levels.  Set those using reference card footage I captured during production and color correction GUI.  Sometimes this does not work - e.g. G20 footage can look so different I use color match filter instead for just G20 track.
  • For all audio tracks: add compression.
  • Add credits, lower thirds, etc
  • Render for YouTube
Now the footage is ready to be passed to customer!
