grading a DV 4/3 project in davinci resolve.

[Margus Voll]

HI.

Is the picture blurry on prev. window or on external output ?

What is your timeline settings ?

Also if you try to look SD picture on huge hd panel that gives you the softness when picture is scaled a lot.

in the case it is interlaced,
you got to enable both fields in the settings ->
else the picture might seem blurry because you are using half of the resolution.

that’s at least what i think.

Yes, that what I did,

but I think I have an other issue to solve : my pixel aspect ratio is not square but ‘DV’ which I think is 5/4.Do you think I can change that somewhere.

And when I output in PAL the image is a bit distorted in comparison with the original DV footage

cant you change the aspect ration at the timeline format?

the options should be:
square pixel
16:9 anamorphic
4:3 standard def
cinemascope

and:
have you tried the input scaling options at the same config screen?
