Digital “gliches” when viewing DV in Final Cut Studio 2
I am having an issue with viewing DV NTSC video in Final Cut Studio 2. I have checked the tapes and they are fine. I have played the footage through QT and I don’t see anything either. But when I view the footage in either the VIEWER or CANVAS, there are “digital gliches”, mainly when there is camera movement.
I think I have read about this at one time, I thought that it was just a simply preference setting. Please let me know if any of you guys or gals have any thoughts.

The viewer and canvas do not show the video at full resolution. You can minimize the distortion by setting them to display at 100%….but the preferred way to view your image is on an external NTSC monitor.

John,
Thank you for your reply. I am currently using a Macbook Pro 17″. I know this might be an ignorant question, but how do I hook up my Macbook to an external monitor?

firewire to a camera/deck, or converter…then to the monitor from that device’s output.

John, that’s how I thought. But for now, are you talking about changing to 100% from the drop down menu that includes: FIT TO WINDOW & FIT ALL? Because I tried that and no luck.
I really do appreciate your help. Not sure why I can’t figure this out?

thats what i was referring to. sometimes doing that will improve the image a bit…but you really need to be monitoring externally to get the real picture.
