horrible looking footage – stroby
Hey guys, I’m doing, and editing favor for a friend of mine (FREE, yes FREE), and I’m editing or helping to edit a short film, the film was shot on a panasonic DVX-100A @ 24p so i went ahead and setup a capture preset @ 24fps (not sure if this was right to begin with), but I burned a DVD, and it looks like crap when i export it, and when i burned the DVD is even worst on the TV.
Basically it looks like a field craziness, and the the motion on the scenes looks stroby, like is missing something.
when I first started digitizing the footage, i remembered that the footage looked great but i was having problems with the audio, it was behind, so i figured it was some sort of frame rate issue, which when i changed the profile to the 24fps, it worked fine, but now it just looks terrible, and it doesn’t look that bad on screen.
I just realized that maybe i should have digitized using the 59.xx setting is this correct?
What’s the problem.
Also does it matter that we used a different camera that does not play 24fps to digitize? I mean this was shot using the Panasonic, but we digitized from a regular DV camera used it as a deck, could this be the problem, what’s the ideal setting for this project?
As always thans in advance, you guys are all great.

i can’t say for sure, as i haven’t used the set-up you described…However, i think you have answered your own problem. If it was shot 24p, then you must playback at 24p in order for it to be digitised at 24p.
Imagine taking a 33rpm vinyl record (ah those were the days!), switching the record deck to 45rpm and recording a copy to tape. There is no way that the tape will ever sound right because what you fed in was wrong to start with – same principle.
I’d redigitise with the correct camera attached then see if you still have the problem – good luck

Thanks lightning, make sense. But i wasn’t sure if there was a workaround or not.
