  Sequence preset not Output Prest – I can’t edit to tape!

  Posted by Paul Ingvarsson on July 14, 2005 at 8:56 pm

  Hi,

  I’ve been editing an HD job with the fields sequence preset option set to ‘none’. (due to wanting my DVE’s etc to be rendered progressive as opposed to fields)

  My output setting wants upper field first – and I don’t know how to change this.

  I can play directly to the deck live – but my layback won’t be frame accurate.

  Any help please??

  Paul

  This will result in problems when laying back to tape. You must render in the correct field order for what tape forma you’ll be laying back to or you’re likely to get interlacing issues. Progressive (none) rendering should only be used for a progressive layback format such as 720p.

  Hi Walter,

  As i’m sure you know – although 1080i and 1080p are technically the same once on tape and generally 1080 is considered an interlaced format – if my client shoots 1080 @ 25p then I should be able to stay within the progressive environment. I want my animated scales and pans and wipes to be rendered progressive – hence rendering in frames (seqs prefs set to ‘none’). 1080 can be a progressive format if you feed it progressive frames – I do this all the time on DS. I ended up outputting to tape live – no problems whatsoever with actually putting the media on tape – just getting the ‘edit to tape’ tool to accept that things would be ok if it just got on with it rather than complaining that my seq preset doesn’t match my output.

  All I need to do is somehow make an output preset match the sequence preset – but i don’t know how to do that – i’ve created new sequence presets and easy presets – but I cannot select them in my device control in the ‘edit to tape’ tool…

  All the best,

  Paul
