FCP to Shake help
Hey, I have some DV NTSC footage I have captured and then applied a de-interlace and then ran the Neat Video filter on the nested de-interlaced sequence to clean up the Noise.
So far it has done a fantastic job and now I am trying to get the footage into shake to run the smoothcam node.
I spent 8 hours last night rendering to get the filters set for playback and when I click the nested, rendered clip and send to shake I am brought into shake with the interlaced footage that has no noise cleaning. I have also attempted to run out a lossless export using the Export>Quicktime>current settings and checking self contained, but this footage is exporting as an interlaced clip even though I have deinterlaced and it comes out being a bit fuzzier.
The only other option I can think of is to run an animation codec export and that would just eat space and time. How can I get the deinterlaced, cleaned footage into Shake for running the Smoothcam node?

Hi Jeff,
You should read the shortcomings of “Sendig to Shake”.
Just open the FC Help and type “Shake”.
Basically what you can send to shake are the cuts. Effects that you apply in FC are not sent to Shake.
Shake can’t access the FC render files. Works on the original media.Anyway, why you want to de-interlace or de-noise in FC when Shake will do a much-much better job?

Hey Rafael,
Yea I actually went a different route because I had no clue about the shotty job of deinterlacing FCP does. I instead went to compressor to deinterlace using the custom preset setup and sent the clip to FCP where I used Neat Video plugin to remove the noise. Highly recommend this plugin for anyone with unwanted grain or noise. After that I exported using current settings and created it as a self contained movie because the rendering was 8 hours I would rather not do again. Now I have loaded up the exported video onto a new sequence and I am sending it to shake for smoothcam.
Good luck and thanks.

Hi Jeff,
I bought few weeks ago VideoPurifier.
I’ve got really shocked with what this application does.
The best is that you can see the results before rendering.
It have also an incredible scaling a de-interlacing filters.
I shoot with an EX-1 and now I run that program in all the footage and convert to Proress.
I recommend it to everybody.
