Exporting sdx 900 footage correctly in FCP
Hi all,
I have been trying to find the best way to export my 23.98 timeline from FCP, (have even tried compressor) as 10 bit uncompressed and I am getting some jagged lines some instances of my export. The scenes that contain background with vertical lines in them, as the camera pans there is some pixellation occuring at the edges of the content. The pixellation
looks like little raster mountains.My sequence compressor is set to DVCPRO-50, since that is the codec that my footage was captured in.
I have tried lower and upper interlacing, exporting out in different codecs and have not made much improvement in solving the situation.
Has anyone encountered this problem when they are trying to export out 23.98 as uncompressed? Any advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated, since I have been trying
to troubleshoot this for a few weeks and have not found a solution.The reason I am working in uncompressed is that i am bringing the footage into After Effects for compositing (just in case if anyone was wondering)….
best,

What frame size are you exporting to? 10 bit is 720×486, dv50 is 720 x480 and if you don’t set it up properly you might get some weird banding.

hi!
thanks for your help!
i am exporting Blackmagic 10 bit 729 X 486.
I tried exporting Blackmagic 720 X 486 and I still am seeing the problem. I also tried exporting DV50 720 x480 and its really jaggedy.Any suggestions as I how I could export out the DV50 timeline to another compression scheme, to not show the banding?

can you post a still of what you are seeing? If you export 720×480 in DV50, that’s native file format and you should see what you shot. Are you sure you aren’t just seeing the interlacing?

jeremy,
these are screencaptures of exports of the timeline from FCP through compressor:

Hmm, it’s hard to ell as the shots are different but nothing really looks out of the ordinary to me. Are you talking about the jagged lines around the wood panels on the wall? That looks like regular ole interlacing to me. Also, you have viewed this footage on a proper monitor, correct?

hi
I tried deinterlacing the sequence through final cut and compressor and exporting out both in dv50 and 10 bit uncompressed. The dv50 looked only slightly better on the monitor.
The weird thing is all the rest of the footage looks ok, other than the shots where the camera is seeing the wood panel at an angle.Do you know of any reason why the interlacing would be more pronounced around the wood panel at an angle?
thanks for all your help, I will keep on testing different modes of interlace to see if something looks better.
best,
/i
