  • Footage shot on HVX200 once imported into AE7 looks horrible

    Posted by Jon Walker on October 5, 2006 at 1:57 pm

    I have posted this in the Panasonic P2 forum and the FCP forum but I figured I’d try and cover all my bases and see if anybody had a similar problem here. Shot footage on HVX200 in 480i DVCPro 50 24PA on FS100 Firestore. My video settings are caputre DV NTSC 48khz Advanced 2:3:3:2 pulldown removal and that seems to work fine. I have tried multiple sequence presets and the footage comes out looking awful every time. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I’m doing wrong? I have even tried just exporting from my bin instead of my timeline where the footage looks good and every quicktime format I’ve tried looks awful as well. In the FCP preview window the footage is bright and pretty clear but once exported out it looks bad. We just started using the HVX and FCP so we’re basically lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Jon,

    From looking at your settings I would say that you problem stems from the fact that you are calling DV50, DV. DV50 is 50Mbs at 4:2:2, DV is 25Mbs 4:1:1. Try changing the import to the correct setting, it should improve a number of issues for you.

    Best,

    Well, I tried that as well and still get the same results once exporting or bringing it down in the timeline. When I do the DV Pulldown it removes some interlacing artifacts bc there is no pulldown removal setting on the DV50. It has 24P but no advanced pulldown. I will give that another whirl but once I go to timeline or export I still run into the same problems. Thanks though.

    Maybe it’s the field order. HD is upper field first not sure about HDV.

    Jon,
    You can copy and then edit your capture preset for DV50 and turn on advanced pulldown removal.
