  HDV and Final Cut

  Posted by Aps1234 on February 7, 2006 at 7:24 pm

  Hello there,

  I work on a tv show that is shot on HDV. What should i do when dealing with 4:3 archive footage as it comes up small within the HDV interface. Should i just enlarge to an accpetable level and live with it??

  Also when i am not getting the full benefits of RT even though i am working on dual 2.7 processor with 4 gig RAM. Sotimes even a clip with no fx needs to be rendered.

  Has this to do with A/V and system settings and the codec format i am digitzing in?? we are using an HDV player and also a j30 player for digibeta and sx footage, therefore we are switching between formats.

  Thankyou

  Are you using any video interface such as Blackmagic or AJA?
  If you do, the problem is easy: your sequence settings are not the same as your clipsetings (command-0 and command-9)
  try matching them.
  If you use a blackmagic interface, select HDV1080 as a sequence preset and choose HD1080 in your playback tab in the audio video settings menu.
  Then, in the system preferences of the mac itself, choose blackmagic settings and enable realtime HD->SD downconversion.
  that should do it.
