  HDV and Kona 2

  Posted by Michael Garber on August 21, 2005 at 6:42 pm

  Hi All,

  Next week, I will be color correcting, filmlooking and upresing a 2 hour concert that was shot in HDV. The footage was captured and edited with the Intermediate codec.

  First off, can HDV Intermediate be played out via the Kona? On AJA’s website, they claim HDV Hardware Acceleration, but there are no HDV FCP presets to be found.

  Because of this, I was considering doing the overall color correction in FCP, and then rendering the Filmlook using DVFilm to the DVCPRO-100 1080i codec. The final step is to reimport into FCP and upres the DVCPRO-100 footage out to HD-CAM via the HD-SDI cable.

  It’s a lot of steps, but it’s the only way I can see to get this on to HD-CAM tape. The only other alternative is to just keep everything in the HDV Codec and play back to HD-CAM tape. I just don’t like that idea, because I heard you have to re-render everything to MPEG-2 and I’d hate to see any more artifacting introduced.

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Regards,
  Michael
