HDV 1080i50 PAL to ProRes Hq conversion
Hi,
I went through some threads to find an answer to the following question.
“Is there really a correct way to downscale HDV to ProRes (to work with the
material in Color) so that the scaling goes right?”I’ve got lots of material. I’ve edited 26 episodes. It’s layback time and I get
really funky looking stuff, i.e. not crisp and artifact free. Chromas are ok,
but the real problem comes with horizontal lines. (Flicker & deinterlace does
help a little but doesn’t solve the problem).I have an HDV timeline 1440 x 1080 (16:9). I’ve tried the following: Media Manager
(with setting for ProRes 422 HQ 720 x 576 anamorphic). Then to Color and back to
FCP for layback.It appears the downconversion doesn’t go right. HDV looks nice & clean, ProRes
does something when it downscales the footage.Whattodoooo. Aaaanybody! jb

Why not cc in HD and make you Sd master from there using a Kona card?

Hi Jeremy,
From what I’ve read from this forum, Color isn’t quite
up for the job. Unless you have some new information,
which would be quite nice.jb

Good morning Jeremy,
It is my understanding that Color doesn’t handle
HDV material. My problem (still is) that I edit with
original material (HDV), I then use Media Manager
to convert my timeline/project to ProRes so I can
send it to Color for a tune-up.In the process I get banding and what-not, which
suggests that quicktime doesn’t handle the conversion
process that well.My question remains for all… Correct settings for
downconversion, please. AnybodyJBuckbee – Finland – PAL

Hi Jussi,
Color does manage HDV footage. You can not import it but you can send it from FC.
