  Capture Settings, HDV down-converted

  Posted by Adrianne on November 14, 2007 at 3:27 am

  Hello,

  Before we start capturing 30+ hours of HDV footage, we wanted to double-check that our settings are correct. If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated.

  1) We are capturing 30 hours of HDV footage, shot with a Sony V1U at 24p, and down-converting it as DV NTSC footage (to be re-captured down the road in HD).

  I am curious if the following capture setting is correct:

  Quick-time Video Settings:
  Compressor DV/DVCPRO-NTSC, Quality 100%

  As a side-note, when would you compress at the ‘easy setup’ option H.264, Quality 75%?

  2) We’d like to combine this eventually with previously-shot SD 30 frames material. We know we can work with both formats in FCP 6 timelines, but does anyone foresee any problems? We’re considering eventually buying a software program to give the 30f footage a 24p look. Does this seem like the best approach, and if yes, do you recommend a particular software for this?

  Thank you in advance,
  A.Anderson
