  Distortion

  Hi’ya

  I’m working a project at moment and just wanted some clarification on a issue I’m having. As I capture all my footage and view it there are horizontal lines and slight distortion on the footage, but when I’m watching the footage through the camera it’s 100% clear, only when I’m finished capturing it the problem occurs, I’ve also watched the footage in QT files on the external HD and it seems to be fine! Is this a simple capture setting problem, or will it be ok after rendering all the footage together, I’m sure its a simple problem, the footage is DVCAM. I just haven’t come across it in the past, any help would be greatly appreciated.

  I’ve tried DVPal, DVPal Anamorphic, I’ve also tried de-interlacing the footage- doesn’t get rid of the problem! To describe the problem a little bit more detailed- its like a few waves of lines flash across the viewer every few secs and I’ve noticed that it happens at exactly the same time on the time code! So it’s a capture problem.

  Cheers
  Daniel

  The footage is fine when I view it on an external monitor- the blurry lines only show up in FCP- so its definitely not an issue with the tape!
