  What Are Recommended Workflow/Settings HDV (Sony FX1) to DVD – PP2 and Encore2

  Posted by Alan Julich on April 1, 2007 at 1:16 pm

  Hi.
  I’m doing HDV test with my FX1. I’m doing a long shot of trees zoomed tight and slowly widen out (over 15 seconds). Playback of mpeg clip in PP2 looks fine, smooth, no artifacts.

  However – playback of clips after export to mpeg2-DVD or uncompressed AVI file produces a wavy, shimmery, wierd artifact that’s most notable along a vertical line in center of frame.

  Encore2 created DVDs using the mpeg2-DVD or uncompressed files “faithfully” reproduced the wavy, shimmery artifacts.

  My PP2 setting for capture were Adobe HDV , HDV1080i 30 (Sony60i).

  The problem seems to occur when converting the original mpeg file created by the original capture.

  One other note – a 780 by 400 mov clip created by exported using Quicktime Animation codec plays back with no problem. However, this won’t import to Encore. Encore says it needs 720×480 or 720×486 or 704×480. I did create a mov 720×480 but playback of this also showed the wavy, shimmery problem.

  I did burn a DVD from PP2 using the 780×400 mov clip and it came out fine.

  Bottom line – what is the preferred workflow and project capture settings in PP2 and what settings to use in the encode process to export for Encnore?

  Many thanks for any insights. alan

  [banjoland] “However – playback of clips after export to mpeg2-DVD or uncompressed AVI file produces a wavy, shimmery, wierd artifact that’s most notable along a vertical line in center of frame.”

  How are you exporting your content to either of these 2 formats? Can you describe your workflow in detail?

  Thanks.
  Here is what I am doing.

  With the captured video as mpeg in timeline sequence I:

  file
  export
  adobe media encoder
  export settings
  mpeg2-dvd
  entire sequence
  ntsc dv 16:9 high quality 7 mbr cbr 1 pass

  basic video settings
  ntsc
  720 x 480
  29.97 drop frame
  field order: lower
  pixel aspect ratio 16:9

  looking at the video side of the encoder interface
  source is 1440×1080 and output is 720×480 (which may be the problem)

  I then use the file this creates as asset in Encore2 and voila – I get the wierd, shimmery stuff.

  Any thoughts?

  Many thanks.

  Can you post a sample of the original footage?

  Will do. Sorry for the delay. Also – Adobe Tech Support had me remove the ImporterFastMPEG.prm plugin and run PP2 without it and that seems to virtually eliminate the wavy artifact. They also suggested that I use SD project settings when creating new PP2 project since the ultimate output m2v files will be SD anyway. I haven’t tried that yet. Meanwhile – I’ll upload that file later today for you to look at.
  Thanks.
