  • hdv captured as dv needs render?

    Shot 1080i, had the cam output as dv, captured as 29.97 ntscdv anamorphic. Sequence settings ntsc dv 3:2, no anamorphic checked. Shouldn’t it just be like regular dv material? Where did I go wrong – what should audio video & sequence settings be?

    First time trying this, it’s got me a bit confused.

    If you captured anamorphic why is your sequence settings not anamorphic?

    Just use the easy set up, before you capture and create your sequence.

    You didn’t mention which camera you’re using. I know that the Sony HDV cameras offer choices on how you do the downconversion. You can output SD anamorphic (Squeezed in Sony speak) or a 4:3 letterbox. If you used anamorphic you should use the DV Anamorphic easy set-up and your file should have the anamorphic check box checked. If you output a letterboxed signal then use DV NTSC set-up and the check box should not be checked.

    Actually, you really didn’t say what the problem is at all. What’s wrong with the file?

    Regards,

    Using a canon cam, an hv10, which is in fact where I think I made my mistake. There was no problem with the file, it all just required rendering, which it shouldn’t have. The mismatch was on the capture side.
