hv30 capture hdv to pro res – ready to export?
How would you export a pro res 1080p24 from fcp 6 using compressor?
i’m looking to export a 1920×1080 mov file to play on computers.
shot 24p in cine mode on my hv30
captured it as directed my appleedited my pro res 1080p24 file it and color corrected it.
tried h.264 export from compressor but it came out 1440×1080 not 1920×1080.
thanks

“captured it as directed my apple ”
Did you take the pulldown out first as per below, so it actually is 24p?

“tried h.264 export from compressor but it came out 1440×1080 not 1920×1080.”
it’s anamorphic 1920, which means it’s 1440 until you stretch it out in QT…open it in QT, hit Command-J, select video track, unclick “constrain aspect ratio” and enter 1920 in place of 1440

thanks that worked.
I’m finding that 24p is quite jittery on the pans and zooms. 30p seems much nice.
do I need to use compressor to capture 30p footage the same way I used it for 24p?

“capturing” is when you digitize from tape, which you didn’t do with Compressor (sorry to be nitpicky but you gotta use the right terminology). And yes, HDV sucks – panning and zooming looks blurry/jittery because of the way HDV compresses the video and there’s nothing you can do about it short of capturing uncompressed HD right out of the camera with a RAID drive (if that) and bypassing the tape. Read up about intraframe (HDV) vs. interframe (DVCPRO HD and up) compression.
