Interlacing across edits

[Jeremy Garchow]

Well, what’s your DI? For film? Then you should definitely be working @ 24p. The pulldown should be removed before the edit, unless the DI is going to handle that conform, better check with them.

Let me get this straight, though. You are going to recapture the keycoded tapes at the end of this dv edit?

Myself and the editor were a little alarmed when we realized there was no keycode data on the footage we’re editing. But it’s the DI house’s low-budget solution to DI work. I don’t understand it to well, but it sounds simple enough. The timecode on the DV relates back to an intermediate tape. When we send them the EDL, they will go to that tape, find the keycodes, and then use that info to make the DI. They assured us there would be no problem with the A frame or anything. It’s something they’ve done for several features.

Well, there you go. Stick with your workflow if the DI house is doing the conform from the tc of your dv tapes which are obviously matched to whatever format they telecined the film on.

Now as far as interlacing, you are editing partially interlaced material so it’s just the way it’s going to be. If you change your field dominance to ‘none’ in the sequence you will not further render any more interlacing in to your sequence. Bring up the seq settings by hitting command-zero.
