Sounds like one of those things where it's an older Premiere - I know they tended to add native support for AVCHD etc.

Definitely better if she can do it herself

What's being used on the Mac for editing?

Premiere should be able to handle .mts files natively - there's this here which says it will convert them on the Mac itself

False alarm! He meant 'lawmaster' and was a bit pished when he texted.

Are you calling Anderson a bike?

How dare you, sir!

I was wondering how much they spent on Vuvuzelas and inflatable giant scissors?

Not nearly as much as one might spend on skiing in Klosters, dinner at the Ritz or a hamper from Fortnum and Mason.

Oh, I don't know - you might get some bargains from Fortnum and Mason tomorrow...

Ah yes, this is what Christmas Eve used to be like...

I saw a trailer a while back - it's very good indeed.

PDFs work fine on dropbox on my iphone, so I can't see a problem doing it that way.

went in to the local Apple store and yeah, they've sold out - couldn't be arsed to shop around so I just put an order in.

Unfortunately I'm on O2 for another 6 months for my phone, but the hotspot thing sounds cool.

Turns out that 3 have a sim only rolling plan which is 10gig for £15 still, so I'm going to go with that.

Almost bought it today, but got far too much work to do this weekend...

I bought Crysis on the PC when it first came out, and it ran like a dog, like it did on 90% of PCs at the time.

I should really play it through properly now I've got better kit, but I rarely play anything on the PC anymore.

Does anyone have any thoughts on 3G providers?

Currently I'm on O2 for my iphone, and the signal is pretty ropey - the tariffs don't seem that great either.

I was recommended 3 by the local Apple dealer, but I've noticed that they only offer the 15GB usage for the Ipad2, at £25/Month compared to 10GB at £15/Month for the ipad. (Although the ipad2 is subsidised)

I can't imagine I'd be pushing a huge amount of data, it would be mainly browsing over 3G, not streaming.

I'm not really bothered about whether it's subsidised or not, it's more the monthly cost/reliability of signal.

Thanks,

Steve

I do agree that a haze over the whole scene would make it more epic, so the main Strato-V is at about 50% grey and the rest just progressively fade into the fog.

Still an amazing piece though.

You absolute bastard

Yeah, it's mainly as a device to review shots/stills with.

I'm quite interested in the sd cards that have wi-fi built in, but unfortunately they're not really high capacity enough for me, and I don't think they do CF cards like that.

It would also be highly useful for film-makers to have an hdmi input on a tablet, so it could be used as a monitor.

That alone, I would buy one in a snap - but I know it's so niche that it's unlikely to happen.

I may get one, it would be awfully handy to carry around reels/portfolios with, especially now that it's got HDMI out as well.

Still torn.

If it had a USB port or even a built-in card-reader as opposed to daisy-chaining stuff onto the 30-pin connector I would buy one.

Still not entirely sure what I would use it for, day-to-day - maybe a bit of browsing on the commute (but paying extra to mobile operators to do that, when I've already paying a phone tariff rankles)

It still seems more of a device for consumption rather than creation though - I think I'll be waiting a while for something Cintiq like in an ipad, at an ipad price.
