Q. I am using a Mac.
Basically, I want to use multiple cameras to record a church service, all connected to my Mac, and control it from here.
It's going to be a very low budget film.
I've heard of Premiere Pro, and have used a little bit of it.
But any other ideas?
How to connect the cameras to each other, if possible how to connect the church sound system?
Thanks.

A. forget the mac
you need PTZ cameras, these can be remotely aimed (Pan-tilt) and framed with the zoom. since you don't need to change all cameras at the same time, only one controller is needed.
next you need a video mixer. any of the Panasonic WJ-MX series will work. The WJ-MX50a is made for 4 cameras. These mixers also have audio so you can mix additional audio sources, such as the church PA. mixer also has a "preview" output so you can see how you are adjusting the camera before you "take" it on the program out.
finally, record live on a DVD-R recorder/player. that way you are ready to make copies even as the echos of the last song are fading away.

What is the Florida law for video recording confessions?
Q. Recording on a video camera. Someone admits to harassment. The harassment was through text messages. About 350 text messages and 20 restricted phone calls were made to the individual in less then 48 hours. The harasser does not know he or she has been recorded. The individual saved a majority of the text messages and printed them out. Is it illegal to record the harasser confession? The harasser admitted to texting the individual phone and calling on a block number. I just need to know what the law is in Florida for this. This is not a confession for Church.
A. Recording some one and not telling them is not usable in court. But you can you use that as evidence against the person by showing it to someone. The easiest thing to do is get your number changed on the cell phone which may be done for free the first time due to a harassment issue. Filling for a temporary restraining order can be done by a police officer coming to your house and that police can see the tape.
What are some good cameras for video recording?
Q. I need to buy a video camera so i can be able to do some podcasts, maybe a decent looking music video and also video tape my church events.
Is there a good recommendation for a camera? Or/and software?
Is there a good recommendation for a camera? Or/and software?
A. It depends on how high up you want to go. I'll stick with the Canon brand, because it's what I know and because they have great color.
For semi-pro level in SD (not HD) start with:
Canon GL1
For just a little more money and a much better picture:
Canon GL2
For vastly better color and low-light handling:
Canon XL1s **highly recommended
If you want to go HD, go for the Canon XH G1.
If these cameras are out of your budget range, look VERY HARD on eBay for a used model. You can get a very good deal. It's how I got my XL1s for less than half of retail. It's still working great for me after 3 years. You can't get good picture and color for less than about $600.
For software, you can try Sony's Vegas Movie Studio 9. It can be had for under $100. It's more advanced than just about anything in its price range.
I personally use and love Final Cut Pro, but it costs near $1000 and requires that you own a Mac.
