  Scanner Darkly Footage

  Posted by Richard Evans on May 17, 2006 at 12:52 am

  I noticed the post today that was up on the news forum about the contest for the best trailer, and i thought it was pretty cool. I downloaded the footage and popped it into a Standard 48KHz NTSC DV project only to find out that it sucked. On my stronger machine it lagged really bad and just to render it took hours. I’ve never worked with rotoscoped footage before, so i’m wondering if there’s something about the footage i dont know about or if maybe i’m inserting it into the wrong kind of project. Can anybody offer any input on the situation?

  Thanks,
  Richard

  The footage is 720×486 (D1 resolution), MPEG-4 and is 24fps. If you dropped it into a standard DV (720×480, 29.97) project in Premiere Pro, you’re going to have problems since the settings don’t match…Premiere would have to attempt to convert everything…thus making a big mess out of it.
