  • HVX200 footage shot in 480i DVCPro 50 24PA looks awful once imported into FCP 5

    Posted by Jon Walker on October 5, 2006 at 1:55 pm

    Shot footage on HVX200 in 480i DVCPro 50 24PA on FS100 Firestore. My video settings are caputre DV NTSC 48khz Advanced 2:3:3:2 pulldown removal and that seems to work fine. I have tried multiple sequence presets and the footage comes out looking awful every time. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I’m doing wrong? I have even tried just exporting from my bin instead of my timeline where the footage looks good and every quicktime format I’ve tried looks awful as well. In the FCP preview window the footage is bright and pretty clear but once exported out it looks bad. We just started using the HVX and FCP so we’re basically lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Jon,

    From looking at your settings I would say that you problem stems from the fact that you are calling DV50, DV. DV50 is 50Mbs at 4:2:2, DV is 25Mbs 4:1:1. Try changing the import to the correct setting, it should improve a number of issues for you.

    Best,

    Jan
