Re: converting 16:9 FHA to 4:3 in FCP - 16 years agoSo FHA is an 'unanamorphic' 16:9 picture on 4:3 (so it requires the set to anamorphasize it to 16:9 on broadcast?)by strypes - Café LA Re: V.O DeckLilnk - 16 years agoI'm on Decklink extreme, and the furthest i managed to go with getting audio into Final Cut studio 2, was to send in a video signal- any video signal into Decklink. Apparently when no video signal is sent, the analog audio inputs are turned off automatically. This set up allows me to record in soundtrack pro 2, and log and capture in final cut, but i CAN'T get the VO tool to work, try as i might,by strypes - Café LA Re: Trying to get the best Quality out of DVDSP and having problems.

And i was lucky then, that i had decent cameramen who knew what handheld shots should be like (slight movement, NOT wobbles). That was fun, although admittedly, it is getting too excessive. Man, i hate it when producers stby strypes - Show and Tell Re: Progressive vs Interlaced for up-res - 16 years agoThis guy should answer all your questions on codecs. Only thing is a lack of comparison with the pro res 422 (anyone worked on it yet? is it superior to the 10 bit uncompressed?) 50p? that's a pretty small screen size!by strypes - Café LA Re: converting 16:9 FHA to 4:3 in FCP - 16 years agoApologies for the confusion. I work in 16:9 to 4:3 conversion pretty regularly, just that no one calls it FHA here. Yup. Throwing in the sequence into a 4:3 timeline will automatically add a -33.33 distort (or an anamorphic distort). For analog SD broadcast, it is almost always in 4:3 (does anyone air SD in 16:9?). For Pan and scan, add the distort and explode it to full screen- you can pan and sby strypes - Café LA Re: As always, thank you - NEW QUESTION - My footage looks great on my HI DEF monitor, but pixelated on our Plasma - 16 years agoWhether you render on your timeline shouldn't affect the export at all. Resizing 720x480? was it resized in compressor? If it was, on the "resize" tab, did you select "better" or "Best"? Read somewhere that "Best" introduces unnecessary artifacts into your video. What GOP are you using? As a general rule, the shorter the better. 23.98 fps? I don't tby strypes - Café LA Re: Progressive vs Interlaced for up-res - 16 years agoHmm... thinking about it, shooting SD in Progressive (if you can) to interlaced HD, would yield better results, frame to frame, since there are less lines to guess. (in progressive DV, you'll have maximum lines from the frame, as opposed to interlaced, where you have half the lines, making it easier to calculate where all those extra lines will go). But on movement, the video should look jerkier,by strypes - Café LA Re: Art of the Edit? - 16 years ago> a) The close-up was wobbly and badly framed; Haha. I feel your pain.. I was working on a drama once, and I had this fresh grad producer who got it all wrong- I had a close up of the actress on an awkward side shot that i couldn't see the expression in her eyes... the reason why she shot it that way was because she was trying not to break the 180 degree rule, and man! it was a triangularby strypes - Show and Tell Re: Art of the Edit? - 16 years agoOn documentary editing- i've been noticing a lot of shows, including some feature films using less wide/establishing shots. i recall a Thelma Schoonmaker interview where she mentions something about estab shots being unnecessary. What was interesting, was watching a british TV show on home decor recently, and i noticed a lack of establishing shots, and it was interesting, because if they had addby strypes - Show and Tell Re: converting 16:9 FHA to 4:3 in FCP - 16 years agonest the sequence and drop it into a 4:3 timeline?

"if we can't ship this puppy out by then, we might as well be herding yaks"by strypes - Café LA Re: Progressive vs Interlaced for up-res - 16 years agoRe-looking at it- if you're going to HD, is it interlaced HD or progressive HD?

So he's american. The moment i heard his name i figured he either russian or polish and didn't read up on that part- my bad. He should have gotten a more english name like "The Plastic Daren" (hint: woody). Post modernism in Asian Cinema? Or do you mean Wong Kar Wai? I feel the epitome of his career came with the Chungking Express/Fallen Angels films. After that, he became tooby strypes - Show and Tell Re: Art of the Edit? - 16 years agoThe Untouchables scene was a remake, i remember that from back in school. Any word on the russian directors? I absolutely loved aronofsky's requiem for a dream, which i thought he brought eisenstein's idea to a whole new level. Although the soundtrack got a little heavy at the end. Speaking of Mission Impossible- what really amazes me, is the difference in film making these days. It's almostby strypes - Show and Tell Re: Art of the Edit? - 16 years agoHaha. And i was wondering whether I was watching the possibly censored code 6 version of the movie (was the only version i could get my hands on). The alpha male characters were definitely way cool, but it was that one reverse shot (sorry, that was al pacino) that had me rolling with laughter. Can't remember which scene it was off hand, but man! that was so bad it was funny.

Which is quite a feat. Although there was one moment where i couldn't help laughing- when De Niro comforts his wife. It didn't seem like the best of acting (or maybe i'm not in for these sappy scenes), the reverse shot on De Niro, in this "what the f*ck" expression. Theby strypes - Show and Tell Re: Progressive vs Interlaced for up-res - 16 years agoDeinterlacing DV you mean. Deinterlacing is about either line duplication or interpolation. Interpolation would work something like: If line 1 is black and line 3 is white, line 2 would be grey... Although, in this case, i'd think deinterlacing would be a better option, since The Modified Shane Ross Technique (whatever that means), would have to now calculate and increase the amount of lines- whiby strypes - Café LA Re: Progressive vs Interlaced for up-res - 16 years agoErr... what's the "modified Shane Ross technique"? Did you include a 4:1:1 color smoothing filter?
