Cutting from black to video – getting clean frames?
This is probably an encoding/editing issue rather than an Encore issue, but I thought someone might know!
A compilation of sequences either fading up from black /cutting from black then fading to black / cutting to black
Encoded with Procoder CBR 6500 Video rate, Highest Quality setting. Source material composite output dumps from client DVDs converted to DV codec
Fade ups/fade downs are perfect. But cuts FROM black to picure tear/flash across 2 or 3 frames.
Question: Is this to do with the position of the first frame of video within the GOP structure OR is this to do with the fact that when the sequences were edited (on Avid Xpress Pro) there was nothing on the timeline before the first frame of video?
And whatever the reason is there a way to fix it? Any help / pointers massively appreciated.
(I get the feeling this is an old subject so apologies if this has been asked long long ago)
