pixels/ rendering/ bad image in Final cut
Hi can someone help
I shot a video on mini DV tapes using a Sony HDV camera. After I played it out with another camera ( not HDV) onto the TV and it looked fine, little dark. I transfered it onto Final Cut 6.06, not knowing that i had to change the settings. So it was all captured with Pal. It looked terrible, I read at few forums that i can change things in the final cut so i did the following:
–User preference -Apple Pro Res 422.
Easy setup- HDV- 1080i60. ( do i have to also write a rate and format of the video, and if so what?)
Audio/Video setting
Device control- Sony HDV 1080i50 Firewire.
Capture Presets- HDV
Sequence preset- 1080i60.
The image already looks better, but is above right, do i need to change other things?After i tried to play in color correction, just a little, and it looked ok, but once rendered it looks very pixelated and lines going through with movements. what can i do about this?
Also do I have to change something the sequence setting?
I hope someone knows something.
Thank you

It always helps to give complete information such as what codec you used, what frame rate, etc. Here’s a Cow tutorial by Chris Poisson that might help you out.

I know it sounds awful but i don’t know what codec it was, as for frame 25.

Hi
Ok
I have captured the footage on Final Cut 6 wrongly, did not change any settings, therefor the video looks different from the original. Can I change anything in FCP, I don’t have the opportunity to recapture it.
It was shot on Sony DVHD, mini dv tape.
Please, can you advice me?
