divegoddess 0 #1 November 8, 2008 Did a search on this already. Does anyone here have any experience using this? What is the difference between this and the WJ AVE5? danke Amanda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VideoFly 0 #2 November 9, 2008 I’ve used both for years. The big differences I’ve noted are that the AVE 3 only has one camera input port while the AVE 5 has 2. This is not a big problem for most work. Also, the AVE 5 affords you the ability to store still shots, which are helpful to make videos look good, particularly if you display the still while rewinding or fast forwarding to repeats parts of the jump in the video. One more thing is that the AVE 3 auto fades, while the AVE 5 uses a hand lever controlled fade. The AVE 3 works well and is relatively inexpensive, but I prefer the AVE 5.

kameraflyr 0 #4 November 9, 2008 regarding the AVE 3 and 5, I would recommend the 7 above both, the 3 is weak on features and there is vurtually no difference in price between the 5 and 7. The 7 has a number of fade and auto fade features that will simplify any edit job especially multiple input editing. Ebay will have several for around 200 USD.
