Mixed progressive animation and DV footage
Thank you for the advice Dave on my earlier post…I managed a best compromise on the speed of the image from left to right but now I am in a quandry – importing the animation into Premiere by default interprets animation as lower field…am I correct in saying that shooting in DVCAM non square format 720 x 576 will only give me an interlaced picture or is there an alternative.
Can DVCAM be shot progressive and if so should I be shooting in progressive in order than the animations and shoot footage don’t end up looking worse? The medi delivery people want DVCAM non square – is there a higher format which can happily go down to the same image size as DVCAM?
‘Bring back analogue!’
Many thanks -

Cameras are still a learning curve for me.
I have never noticed much degradation importing an animation file into the higher formats but it has been very apparent with DV…and our cameraman has suggested that possibly we should be shooting progressive rather than interlaced…so it is all murky waters for me at the moment.
The scenario we are working in is a typical corporate message video with no ‘sporting type action’ which when edited will be compressed to MPEG-2 by the media provider (progressive) and will be downloaded via datasat to remote PC-players in national stores. Final ouput to feed plasma screens. The gap remaining in the 16:display is taken up with text messaging. Obviously we are hoping for more of the same so we’d like to get our product optimum.
Many thanks once again
