  HDV to DV

  Posted by Max Kaiser on March 17, 2006 at 9:46 pm

  Hi there,

  I’ve shot some footage in HDV, ingested the footage via firewire as HDV with HDV 1080i60 codec, edited, color-corrected and matted the footage all in an HDV timeline, and now I need to get the footage in DV format. I’ve tried just copying and pasting the HDV footage into a DV timeline but the end results strobes pretty badly.

  I have had success with outputting the footage back to the HDV camera, and then importing again with the DV downconvert on and this worked well – but is very cumbersome. Anyone know what I might be doing wrong with my “drop in the dv timeline” technique? I’m simply using the Easy Setup DV-NTSC settings for my DV sequence – that is to say, 3:2, lower field, etc. Do I need to change some settings? I seem to remember someone saying this was an easy way of doing this.

  Thanks!

  Max,

  On my system the strobing does not happen and the results are exquisite. Try exporting to a QT file and dropping that on a DV timeline.

  Thanks. I still get jitters when I do this. I tried exporting the HDV via Quicktime Movie… selection and I tried making it into a self-contained movie as well. Both times we got the jitters. I don’t know what I’m doing differently? The footage looks just grand when I do the out to camera and back work around.

  Any ideas?

  Thanks!
  Max
