PAL user straight out of the box eye candy experiments
Hi,
My HVX just arrived this morning, and yes i am currently in the honeymoon period.
So, first thing i do, surprise suprise is shoot some cars ins 720/25pn at 50fps to and dubbed it down to dv. There is an interlaced flicker on the moving cars now i have captured it into Avid, now ok, i have just done a conversion from a progressive format to and interlaced format but i thought the dubbing process took care of so it preserved the look when played back interlaced, have i missed a setting somewhere?

You probably should not be shooting 25pN if you’re working with Avid- though it depends what flavor of Avid. Shoot regular 25p and see if it turns out better.

Hi,
….but you can’t shoot at 50fps in 720p only 720pn. Anything that is moving in shot you flickers with the next field visible when you dub down to dv tape.

Leon, yes he can shoot in 720P/50 that is the cameras Native recording mode. He can switch it to record 25PN and then it will record 25 frames and only 25 frames.
Hope that helps,

Hi Jan,
Thank you for taking the trouble to reply to me. Please be assured i am reading through pages E-33 to E-35 of the manual and maybe i am getting a little confused due to some ignorace on my part.
What i am trying to do is take advantage of the feature of dubbing down to dv over/under cranked stuff until i get native suppor in my NLE.
When i shoot 25pn/50fps and play back in MCR i can see the slow motion and it records to mini dv, but things that are moving in shot have an interlaced flicker when you watch it back off the dv tape
When i shoot 25p/50fps and play back in MCR it is not in slow motion and nor is it when i dub that down to tape.
It says on page E-35, “In the case of the 720p/25p format, the slow motion effect can be obtained by using a nonlinear editing system to process what has been recorded.” Which i don’t have i guess.
All i want to do is get the over/undercranked stuff off the P2 card onto dv tapes looking as smooth as it does when you play it stright of the camera
Thanks again,
Leon.

DV is an interlaced format; if you’re just dubbing down to DV then yes it’ll be interlaced — each 720/50p frame will be sent to a 576/50i field.
If you dub 720/25pN footage to DV tape, you should be able to import that as a 25P project (not 50i) and treat each pair of fields as a progressive-scan frame; that should preserve the motion without interlacing.

Thanks Barry,
I’ll try that in an AXP 25p project.
