Each shot is about 10 seconds. This is version 1.0 where all CP's will be shown in daylight filming and there will be a second version showing them at night. In version 1.0 all names of the presets will are available and credits to their owners.
Custom Presets can be found at: dvinfo.net (English Forum) or hdvinfo.nl (Dutch weblog and forum).

We are using most of these presets, however a few at the end I have never seen, and I can't seem to locate anywhere. Where might I go about finding Reality and TrueColor?

Thanks for the compliments. I will also make a evening version (a bit dark version) and a night version with the same presets.
Great stuff on the preset movie, I look forward to the extra versions with less light. What is the music you used? I really like it!
Right now my camera is away for repairs (I almost lost my firewire port last year and I decided that it was time to bring it to a repair centre so I can pick it up after our vacation).
After our vacation I also switch to Apple Pro (with Final Cut) and I'm planning to go for another extra 100% on the next version of the preset movie.
Any EXTRA suggestions are very welcome!!
this video is most important
bye by and thnks

What is this song called?
Thanks!
1. Constant settings of the camera.
2. When using more A1's you can copy them to all camera's.
3. There are more settings in the custom preset menu which you can't control on the outside of the camera.
4. Colour correction in post isn't always the right answer for correcting everything. But....when changing the settings of the camera one has to realise that some changes can't be corrected afterwards. So be careful out there...
Custom Presets are handy if you want to save your own custom settings for filming. There are so many things you can customise on the XH-A1 it is almost an impossible job to change them each and every time you want to record something.
Ofcourse you can do everything in post and it's not required to make great video footage. It's just a 'tool' to help you.
And what about situations where you have to or more camera's and you want to work with exact the same settings? A CP is very handy in those situations. Just copy the file to the other SD card and use them in that camera.
There is only one thing to think off though: white balance!
I looked at all the sub-settings within each preset and when fully adrift amidst all the gammas, knees and other body parts I found your video very helpful.
Being a visual person, your side-by-side examples really narrowed down which settings might work best on tomorrow's shoot.
Thanks for doing this. It's been a BIG help to me.
BTW: I really like that gd music.

There are some new presets which I will add in the near future. I think it's nice to see them in the same movie so everyone can compare them.
Greetings Joachim
any ideas ?
Thanks
Thanks very much, Gert! :)
In my experience you can do the next best thing to push up the colors: switch OFF the presets, set the camera to KELVIN (under the LCD screen) and on the left set the A/B/PRE switch to PRE. Then push the white balance button until there is a four figure number flashing on your screen. That's the Kelvin setting. You can change that number to 3200 or 3600 at night. (That means more blue is going to be mixed in to the picture, because the actual picture contains more red. During the day you can use the same methode and set it to 5600 or 6000K) As soon as the settings are changed. Push the whilebalance button again until the flashing xxxx (
J'ai effectué 10 préréglages manuellement et je suis satsfait du resulat.
Un grand merci !
Here's a example of a preset I made and have used pretty consistently on the last few projects I have done:
vimeo.com/7255576
was also used on this one:
vimeo.com/6681928
but BLK was set to STRETCH. The H.264 codec tends to wash out the video a bit, but the raw preset should have more contrast than this.
here are the settings if anyone is interested:
PRIMEEIGHT
GAM 2
KNE L
BLK M
PED -9
SET -9
SHP 4
HDF M
CMX 2
CGN -4
RGN 8
GGN 11
BGN 12
everything else is set to 0.
