Horizontal Lines (Not Field issue?)

[John Ford]

I will, after a week, of editing and wondering what i am doing wrong, I have the tapes here, but no way to capture them.

I just read this post on DV-Doctor.net:

GUY 1:

With the Sony z7, is Compact flash captured DVCAM in a native format for Final Cut? So it can be dragged from the card to harddrive for direct ingest to timeline?

I’ve heard it is in either .avi or .dv format (as apposed to .m2t for HDV)

GUY 2:

Hi Yes it is .DV or .AVi format for DVCAM and .m2t for HDV.

Sony have a plug in for final cut studio 2 ver 6.0.2 and above that makes the CF unit appear in the log and transfer window, you then just drag and drop for ingest and it goes in as 3X real time.

Also for HDV it goes in as apple Pro Res.

You can use the sony CF unit or I use a £45 sandisk firewire CF reader for input.

That link pertains to the tapeless function. You said you have tape, right?

Hi Dave,

I was wondering if you could help me also (or anyone out there) i have imported footage into a new project in FCP 1920x1080p25. My quick time files at the source are fine but when i import them into final cut pro there are horizontal lines running through all of the light areas in the footage.

When i go into my sequence settings it is always set to 1080i and there is no option for 1080p. Does this mean i have progressive footage on an interlaced timeline? If so, how do i change this? If not…does anyone know the problem. I have a deadline and i’m kind of freaking out. any help would be amazing right now.

Thanks,

Taj

You also have to make sure that the footage itself is tagged as none in the browser and timeline.

Was this captured from tape?
