  DV Compression

  Posted by Colinmcd on July 14, 2005 at 6:20 pm

  Another newbie question folks!

  I have some footage shoot with a Canon XL1s and I get a black border at both sides of the video. I believe this is to do with how the camera compress’s the video signal onto tape. I have watched a few of the Total Training DVD’s and it only shows you how to get rid of this by using the ‘Garbage Matte’ effect in AE. Currently I just scale the image upto 103% to have a full image within Premiere 1.5. Is this the correct method for doing this or should I take over the edited sequences and then Garbage Matte them in AE?

  Thanks in advance

  Colin

  The borders are perfectly normal for DV and when the image is displayed on a TV the picture is stretched slightly wider than the tube phosphors. There is no need to stretch your image as you will be reducing the overall quality of the picture.
