Macbook Pro Monitor - 14 years agoHi Guys, I'm currently using a Sony HDR FX1000, and i have a 15'' Macbook Pro. I want to create a surf film to sell around Australia with progressive footage and possibly a bit of interlaced. I have been informed by people on this forum that an external monitor would be of good use to me so i can see what the final product looks like, just wondering if anyone could advise me of a good mby enger - lafcpug Market Re: Interlaced/progressive - 14 years agoNo worries, is there any monitor and required cords that you would reccomend for me in Australia? Thanks very much for everything you guys have been great help!!by enger - Café LA Re: Interlaced/progressive - 14 years agoOh ok, would shooting footage at a higher shutter speed (say 1000fps) and then slowing down the clip on fcp be similar efftect to the G map filter? Thanks very much for all the answers.by enger - Café LA Re: Interlaced/progressive - 14 years ago>So, I'd instead take your interlaced footage and make it look progressive by deinterlacing it. Oh ok, I'm not sure how to deinterlace footage? >so in your movie if you want to do some cool slowmo shots, run the interlaced footage into something like my G Map Frames plugin (set fields to frames) which deinterlaces each field in turn and converts to a frame, thus slowing things down byby enger - Café LA Re: Interlaced/progressive - 14 years ago>so what are the actual formats you shot??? (include frame rate) which country do you want to sell around? I'm from Australia, so it is PAL, i'm not sure what format the sony hdr fx1000 shoots, I think its 25 frames per second progressive frames if thats what you meant. Yeah i agree, i haven't had much experience with progressive but to me it looks more professional. If i created aby enger - Café LA Re: Interlaced/progressive - 14 years agoThanks very much. The capturing stage is what i'm unsure about because i dont know whether to set my 'Easy setup' to '1080i' or '1080p' as my tape has half of both interlaced and progressive on it. What would you recomend i set it to? Also i'm creating a bodyboardign film that i want to sell around the country...would you reccomend interlace or progressive? Thanksby enger - Café LA Re: Interlaced/progressive - 14 years agoHi guys, >if you're in an NTSC country, since they would imply different frame rates. I'm from a Pal country and can see the difference, but when i'm capturing the footage it is sometimes hard to be 100 percent sure. >From which camera(s)?

Thanks heapsby enger - Café LA i-link - 14 years agoHi guys, I use a sony HDR-FX1000 and i have a macbook pro, which i use final cut pro with. Just wandering, do i need an i-link cable to maximise the quality of the hd footage, or will a fire wire be fine? Also, what is the main differenece between progressive and interlaced footage? Thanks very muchby enger - Café LA Re: Internet site - 15 years agoI tried the settings you told me to use "Export/Movie to Quicktime Movie (Options)/Video (settings)/Compression Type (H264)/...and plug in your settings. Also use AAC Audio @ 128 kbps" and put it on youtube and it looks shocking!by enger - Café LA Re: Internet site - 15 years agook thanks. sorry couldn't locate the settings...so i changed me audio to aac. Is the default setting linear? its just i'm using my brothers laptop and don't wanna mess with his settings etcby enger - Café LA Re: Internet site - 15 years agooh ok, when i go to 'options' and the file format says 'mp4 ISMA' it won't let me change video format to H.264, but if i change the file format to just 'mp4' it will allow me to tick H.264. Is this ok?by enger - Café LA Re: Internet site - 15 years agoI'm sorry, i went to export the quicktime clip and couldn't find anything that said 'H264' on it...by enger - Café LA Re: Internet site - 15 years agoOh ok, thanks heaps. Rm i just want the best quality on my website, Vimeo and youtube, for a one minute film trailer to promote my video. So you recon skip the 'compressor process all together? The thing is that i dont have internet on my apple mac, so have to put the file onto my windows pc which has the internet.by enger - Café LA bebo - 15 years agohello everyone, just wondering if its possible to put short clips that i made on final cut pro onto my bebo site to show friends in other states? If so how do i do this? Thanks very muchby enger - DVD Studio Pro Internet site - 15 years agoHi guys, I currently completed a one minute clip that i would like to put on my internet site, and also you tube. Just wondering what the best way to do this is and what to export the file as? Do i need to use compressor? Thanks heaps guysby enger - Café LA Re: 1080i/1080p - 15 years agooh ok no worries thank you. A salesperson said to me that the sony hdr fx1000, is 1080i, however it says on internet sites that i've looked at that it is 1080p. Just wondering what quality is better?by enger - DVD Studio Pro 1080i/1080p - 15 years agohi, i have a sony camera HDR-HC7E 1080i, and i'm interesed in buying a sony HDR-FX1000 1080p. If i had a timeline with half of the footage being 1080i and the other half 1080p, would they be able to work on the same timeline without having to resize the footage etc. The reason i ask this is because i recently had trouble with mixing SD and HD into the same timeline and want two have two cameras tby enger - DVD Studio Pro Re: Slow motion shakes - 15 years agoThank you very much, i exported the clips i want slow mo'd to a quicktime movie then brought them back in and it worked well. One more thing...should the 'frame blending' box be ticked or not? thanksby enger - Café LA Slow motion shakes - 15 years agoHi guys, I am currently working in a SD timeline with some SD footage and some HD footage. When slowing down the HD footage to 70%, there appears to be a shaking/flickering on the tv screen once put onto dvd. Just wondering how to prevent this? Thanks guysby enger - Café LA Re: final cut help - 15 years agoon my laptop screen they both look very similar... I want to put it onto dvd and sell it.by enger - Café LA Re: final cut help - 15 years agook thank you, i thought it sounded weird. So basically the two choices i now have are: 1. using the hd footage and scaling it so the letterboxing is cut off. or 2. use the hd footage which my camera converted to dv and once put in the timeline and put to '0' distorion, it fits the screen. which would be better quality?by enger - Café LA Re: final cut help - 15 years agoI set my scale of a hd clip which was in a sd timeline to 101.3...the original scale of the hd clip was was automatically set to 50 so it would fit into the frame. This doubled the size of the frame and became very blurry, so this did not help in anyway. Yes i am aware that the scale increases the picture, however quality is lost.by enger - Café LA Re: final cut help - 15 years agooh ok, yeah i understand. When i put the distortion back to '0' there still is a tiny black border around the clip. So all in all i guess it's just a large dillema trying to incorporate hd and sd into the same timeline when trying to create a project for a large target audience because after all this disscusion, which ha s been very helpful, i still am unable to get both hd and sd in the oneby enger - Café LA Re: final cut help - 15 years agoStripes-"Pop the HD into an SD 4:3 sequence, Final Cut will letterbox and scale down the footage, and all you do is to enlarge the footage so it's no longer letterboxed." Im not blowing up sd footage. I'm trying to get sd and hd footage to be the same size in a sd timeline. And if you import hd footage into a sd timeline, it letterboxes it, as stripes indicates, so you do indeed haveby enger - Café LA Re: final cut help - 15 years agook..so if i enlarged the letterboxed hd footage, would there be any quality loss?by enger - Café LA Re: final cut help - 15 years agoNo i am not new to fcp of editing...i've just never used 'prores.' I'm pretty sure that my hd footage was filmed in 16/9, are you saying if i filmed hd footage in 4/3 it could work on the same timeline as 4/3 sd?by enger - Café LA Re: final cut help - 15 years agoNo i am not new to fcp of editing...i've just never used 'prores.'
