30p drop frame and 60i non-drop frame in multicam mode

[Elijah Lynn] “I have got this working by setting the scale attribute to 50% center attribute of the motion tab to -180 and 180. “

Sorry I gave you the wrong values. What you have is correct. I gave you the values for 720p footage.

[Elijah Lynn] “Where did you learn this.”

I don’t know. I guess it was out of necessity? Anything over 2 angles, you should probably use multicam.

Hey Jeremy,

I am using JES deinterlacer to make the clips look similar. Is there any problem with using this before editing to make the clips look similar?

To my eye it looks very nice. It gives me a a file identical in size. I like it. Timecode is already way messed up. Sure would have been easier if the timecode didn’t drift, then I could just find the exact number between the codes and use that everytime. But instead I need to figure it out for every take. 4 days of shooting with drifted time code.

But as you are correct, at least the frames all match up!

I guess this is how you get experience!

So, what are your thoughts on using JES deinterlacer to make things look similar?

[Jeremy Garchow]

What do you mean the time code drifted? Meaning the timecodes don’t match on the cameras?

I guess you could use JES Deinterlacer, but I would just edit away and deinterlace only the things I need in the finished timeline. That way you don’t have to do a bunch of unnecessary deinterlacing and create a bunch of unnecessary deinterlaced media.

Make sense?

Hey Jeremy,

The timecode drifts because on is drop and one is non-drop. It is a pain because everytime I want to match some clips up I need to figure it out all over again.

I was thinking of JES deinterlacer because FCP deinterlacer is horrid. What you say makes sense though and I would not like to create a bunch of clips that hog extra space. I did some searching and realize that many of you use some more robust built in plugin deinterlacers such as Natress’s.

Thanks

Shouldn’t be too far off. Did you have the same audio going to both cameras? That’s a pretty easy way to find sync if your timecode is a bit off.

Yeah, that one works. I personally use Revision FieldsKit. It is limited to 8bit in FCP, but that’s fine if you are working in dv.
