Re: [Avid-L2] Re: OT: Making up zooms in post WHY Boneheads shouldn't edit

So then, devils advocate - how much are you willing to zoom....

Assuming (because it's what I'm working with) you have DNxHD 185 recorded
HD-SDI directly from a Sony HDC-1500 camera - so, a good HD signal, recorded
well - how far are you comfortable zooming?

I occasionally have to reframe shots slightly to remove shoot-off, minor
boom dips, etc... I'm typically not comfortable with more than 105% but
could go to 110% before I start feeling pretty edgy... How far will you take
it?
