  • DV dailies to Master on Digi-Beta

    Posted by Leeroy on April 24, 2006 at 11:09 pm

    Hello all,

    I am about to start an edit which has been shot on PAL Mini DV in Standard Def. After the edit I will conform it onto Digi-Beta, which will then be graded.

    I`ve done a little test, and am getting field issues. I am not sure, but am wondering if MiniDV is interlaced or progressive?

    I am wondering if I should:

    -Bump up my MiniDV Dailies to Digi Beta before doing the edit. So the edit can be at 10bit Uncompressed.

    – Or load the MiniDV rushes in, and bump my sequence up to 10 bit uncompressed, but make the rushes De-interlaced?

    Many thanks in adavnce.

    The tape can be interlaced or progressive- depends on the setting in camera during aquisition.
    If your doing an offline why would your want to capture your dv material in 10bit.
    I guess if you have the disk space it would save a re-dig step in the end.

    1) Ingest the footage via firewire
    2) Edit on a DV timeline until happy
    3) Make a duplicate copy of the timeline
    4) Change the settings of that timeline to 10bit uncompressed.
    5) Add colour correction & graphics to suit.
    6) Decide to or not to add deinterlace bearing in mind you will lose half the vertical resolution for that film look.
    7) If shot in progressive mode ignore 6
    8) Render
    9) Layoff to DigiBeta.
    10) Beer
