Let's just assume I have a 1' wide postage stamp. I'm putting it on my scanner bed. I'm opening my scanner software to advanced mode to control whatever I need to control.

You can capture that directly through FireWire, and even downconvert live to DVCAM or DV, through the same pipe. The sae features are available on this A1U I just picked up, it's wild.

Sorry again. My typo. Derek gives an example I can reverse engineer: 4000K resulting from a scan of what size artwork? It does matter. Let's say it's an the ideal 8 X 10.

Only shock people and help. I mean anybody using an inefficient method for calculating photo scanning for moco. And specirfically, the erroneous statement that DPI has no meaning in video. I think my biggest convert to a "different" way of thinking about scanning DPI is Phil Hodgetts, a guy I respect quite a bit. The method you and Keviby Loren Miller - Café LA Re: photos to HD - 17 years agoGuy, you need to update your info. We use rich scans in FCP, Movingpicture and AE all the time, to support zoom ins which stay sharp. I developed a simple system based upon SCANNING DPI- which translates to VIDEO PPI. For our purposes, they are equivalent and it;'s a convenient way to prepare any width of flat art for moco, not simply an 8 X 10 scanned at 72 DPI.

Man, that's old gold, isn't it? Everyone onlines on the desktop today. Just batch recapture employing the HDV codec on your cut sequence for your finish work.

I assume you downconverted "live" to DV or DVCAM using the camera to log? Maybe you can arrange to test the workflow with a project file containing a few logged shots?
