HDV to ProRes – flicker on motion
Hi All,
Just noticed that when running out HDV shots through compressor for pro-res, we’re getting a flicker on the edges of motion shots.
HDCAM to pro-res – no problem – when we stop on a frame with motion we see interlacing horizontal lines on the edges – looks great in motion
when doing hdv to pro-res – when we stop on a fram w/motion in it, there are no interlacing lines, rather – it’s just a smooth blurry edge?
any advice? shift fields doesn’t quite work

Where are you seeing the interlace lines? On your computer monitor or on a CRT?

when viewing an HDCAM image that’s been prores’d – out through kona card to HD-SDI – to LCD panisonic monitor or sony BVM it looks great
when viewing an HDV image that’s been prores’d – out through kona card to HD-SDI – to LCD panisonic monitor or sony BVM the motion has this ‘trail’ to it, not smooth.
when viewing an HDV image (Native) – out through kona card to HD-SDI – to LCD panisonic monitor or sony PVM – it looks great
So when I noticed something was weird with the HDV to prores stuff, i compared frame to frame with the HDCAM.
I am viewing on a panasonic lcd monitor with an HD-SDI input
with HDCAM that’s been prores’d – when I go frame by fram i see the interlacingwith HDV that’s been prores’d – when I go fram by frame, i don’t see the horizontal interlacing lines. instead of the interlacing lines of the arm/ice axe is about to advance to in the next frame, it’s just a smooth half-frame. don’t know if this makes sense. But in the end, the HDV motion looks horrible, like it has this trail behind the object moving

Hi All,
We solved it – you have to run HDV to uncompressed HD 8-bit and then go to prores. If you straight from HDV to prores 422 HQ – it looks real jittery with the motion. I’m surprised no one has mentioned this previously on the forum
