    Hello! I shot some standard 4:3 DV on the same tape as some 60i footage. Turns out my DV 60 i footage is washed out and not as clear compared to my standard DV. Does anyone know a way to convert it so my footage looks the same?

    4:3(720X480) 60i is standard DV.

    I worked with two cameras
    Canon XH A1 filmed in DV 60i, which you say is regular DV
    I also shot with my GL2 in standard DV
    But for some reason the XH A1 (labelled DV60i on the top right of the LCD screen) looks like a cheap camcorder (washed out and not as crisp)
    Which is so strange because the XH A1 is a more expensive camera!
    It is like I’m missing some simple key to just change it to the right format, but they are both DV – NTSC shot in SP mode.
    Any suggestions?

    So basically your complaint is about the viewscreen of the XH A1. This doesn’t affect your media in FCP in any way.

    All the best,

    Actually help me out then. I recorded SD 60i with a Canon XHA1, looks good and crisp on the camera’s LCD. Capturing through FCP looks horrible with DV-NTSC easy setup, image is blurry and I have researched online and have tried EVERTHING. HELP???
