  • downconvert to SD flickering?

    Posted by Dale Roberts on August 12, 2008 at 7:16 am

    Been playing with our new XD 422 HDCAM and am noticing when i do a downconvert to SD the picture flickers. Even when there is no camera movement or anything actually moving in shot there is a flicker or jitter if u like… as things move thru shot they get worse.

    It was shot 108050i and making into a 25i project.

    it looks like like field order but I am doubting that as I have read ( I think!) that this is a common phenomenon with downconverts?

    Anyone have any ideas? I am new to HD world!

    Regards,
    Dale…

    Hi,

    We bring in the proxy files then batch import to HD resolution then in the format tab change it to 25i.

    Is there a better way???

    You just changed the project settings (1080i – 25i), not the nature of the clip.

    Try transcoding clips to SD resolution. Highlight the clips in your bin, right-click then transcode.
