  • 2 clips which timeline?

    Posted by Nick Welch on December 19, 2010 at 6:53 pm

    Hi,

    I recently shot some footage on a z1 at hdv, i captured the footage at apple pro res 422 through firewire.

    The problem is that i’ve also got some older footage as DVPal anamorphic.

    so i’ve got 2 sets of clips:
    apple pro res – upper field and
    dv pal – lower field.

    My project is for the web so i guess it needs to be square pixel and ‘no fields’

    Now which timeline should i create?..apple pro res 422, with no fields and square pixel?

    or a dv pal anamorphic timelime, no fields and square pixel?

    Or just create a normal apple pro res timeline, upper field and just not worry about it?

    I shot on Canon 5d and am having trouble with sound, I can see the levels but cant hear anything, The same thing is happening with some PAL clips I shot on the Canon HDV VIXIA camera…never had this trouble before, and I have tried different timeline set-ups. Any ideas?

    Hi Nick,
    Web videos are always Progressive and Squared pixels, so start like that.

    Sorry I’ve clicked too fast.
    I would try with a Prores 1024×576 or 720×404 p25 Squared pixels sequence.
    Drop all your footage there, apply the De-interlacers (avoid the one on FC), set “Render in High Precision” and “Render Motion Effects: BEST”.

    Hi,

    Fantastic Rafael – a 1024×576 apple pro res square pixel timeline sounds fine to me.

    Should the compressor be apple pro res?…is that the best?..
    i tried animation codec but the file is way too large.

    [nick welch] “Should the compressor be apple pro res?…is that the best?..”
    Yes, Prores is the best option and being part of your footage Prores, makes even more sense.
    Animation is a poor solution. Is RGB (and only 8b). Web video codecs are YUV.

    Many thanks Rafael.

    Hey look the only other question i have is about effects.

    there’s a colour effect used in this video at 4m.05secs.

    can you tell me what effect this is?..it’s like a colour burn/flicker effect..
    any ideas?
    many thanks once again.
    best
