[FCP-L] Re: HDV Question

Well it is a little more to work with than DV which was all too prevalent before the switch to HD delivery. It seems nowadays we get to fight the format limitations but all too often the novice camera people can't be bothered with things like white balance or proper exposure or focus. Hell why learn those skills there's an auto focus button? I would like to know when the Orange balance button came into existance. I know it must be out there cause that's what I see on most footage I get stuck with. Oh well it's easy to sit in the bay and bitch but if I was out in the field I'd be gripping about why the reality show subjects never stop in a lit area and why the hell do they keep walking from daylight to tungsten. Oh well time to shovel some more video on the burner.
