High-definition video is the
future in video production, and Sony’s new camcorders put
the revolution within reach of more people than ever
before. “Steve Mullen makes the features of the Sony
HDR-FX1 and HVR-Z1 camcorders comprehensible, accessible,
and above all highly useable for anyone looking to work
high-definition video. In a convenient PDF eBook format, we
anticipate Steve’s guide to be the ultimate resource for
new owners of Sony’s cutting-edge HDV equipment.”
The eBook explains how the technology works, then details
how to best set up, shoot, and move footage from your
camcorder to your editing system. It also explores various
editing workflows as well as the methods for distributing
high-definition video productions. It is a complete guide
to HDV technology, HD production, and HDV post-production
using Sony’s HVR-Z1 and HDR-FX1 camcorders.
The book’s technology and post-production sections are
fully relevant to the Sony HVR-A1 HDV camcorder. To further
support HVR-A1 users, the Production chapters provide
pointers on the use of this light-weight HDV camcorder.
I'm reading it now myself and it also is helping me out.
