  • DV PAL converting to 1920×1080

    Posted by Michael Duff on December 19, 2006 at 3:03 am

    Hi guys – I’m just doing some experimenting with DV PAL footage that we need to put into a 1920×1080 program. I’ve read a few posts, and have been rendering tests with reSizer2 and instantHD (and tried de-interlacing with MB) – but they all still look pretty poor. Infact, they are not much better that the normal AE scaling.

    Does anyone have any guidance or advice on what else I should try? (or is it a lost cause)

    Cheers

    Michael

    Technically, you are attempting to increase the dimensions by almost 300%, which would result in significant quality loss, regardless of the application used. I would try to use some Gaussian blur or some other blur to minimize the amount of pixelation/distortion.

    I’d recommend looking at multi-images/multi-views/multi picture-in-picture/multi-angles within a 1920×1080 comp instead….sort of giving the audience a wealth of high quality SD images to absorb within the same timeframe rather than one large lousy extrapolated image.

    My 2 cents,

    Take a look at this tutorial. https://www.motionworks.com.au/?p=74 It might give you some insigt in how to
    “scale up” the footage.

    thanks for the responses. I’m going to have to settle with just getting it to look as good as possible. Unfortunately we can’t frame the image or such as suggested because it is not our program.

    Thanks for the help
