  • Full Frame-Bug when Editing to Tape.

    Posted by Mactrix on January 15, 2006 at 12:27 pm

    Hi,

    there is a little bug when using the full frame output in the
    BMD System Preferences for still-mode. When editing to
    tape the first frame is always a full frame than! This might
    be not recognizable in many cases. But when doing an
    insert edit on tape in a moving scene with interlaced footage
    it will look like a little drop frame and the technical approval
    from a television station won’t accept that.

    So test it carefully and you will see that the first frame is
    always deinterlaced and this shouldn’t be like that. Turn the
    option off in the System Preferences to resolve this bug.

    Your first frame isn’t deinterlaced, it’s a freeze frame. Have you checked to see if the very last frame of the insert is missing? I’ll bet it is.

    Sounds to me like you need to change your offset by a frame (Final Cut menu>System Settings>Playback Control) . That’s what it’s there for.

    Not a bug, a settings error.

    Please take a closer look at your videoscreen before speculating.
    I know what it is. It’s exactly like I explained, the last frame is
    fine, nothing missing. The offset is fine. I compared the result
    with both settings in the system preferences, so I can say clearly
    that everything is perfect when the option is turned off.

    It’s a bug inside that setting.

    We are working with PAL by the way …
    … it would not be the first time that NTSC isn’t concerned … 🙂

    Well, excuse me for trying to help!

    My screen is fine, your English as poor as your manners.

    Great help to say that someone is wrong without
    analysing the description of the bug. Typical for
    technical support – not matter in which country.

    Mac- I understood. Thanks for mentioning the issue. Maybe someone from BM will confirm this behavior on one of their PAL setups.

    I have not noticed this on NTSC, but it may be there. My layback is typically with a black or still frame at the start, so I might not have noticed it on my system. I’ll try and confirm for NTSC.
