Fixing footage shot at the wrong shutter speed

[Thaxter Clavemarlton]

A better videographer is my first suggestion.

There IS no fix for this. Its primary to the “look”of the image and the motion.

You didn’t say what the “wrong” speed was and what the “right” speed was, so I can’t suggest anything more specific without that information.

sadrabbit,
What is your final delivery format?

It’s supposed to be whatever’s standard on a dvx100 in 24p. I’m not sure exactly what was shot, but it’s clearly a pretty fast setting, and really obvious for any large motion. This was a pickup day and I think some of the shots may work without much tweaking, but others are hard are hard to be optimistic about.

This is being aimed at festivals, so it will vary – DVD or DigiBeta for most. Or blow it up to film if we get into something big.

sadrabbit,
In what format is the source media that you have been given?

Cheers

[Sadrabbit]

The source is on MiniDV.

OK, what tells you you have different shutter speeds?

For one, someone walks in front of the camera and the movement looks like someone in a room with a strobe light.

If you know the shutter speed/s you can play with the new Optical Flow technology built into Compressor 2.
Experiment with this to remove the strobing and give you an acceptable visual result, then change the frame-rate of this back to 29.97 before encoding to mpeg2.
