Hi whats the best export to use everything think have tired looks not great??? l just need it for show reel but looking good.

also what’s the best Time line to work in with this

and how do l get ride o the interlacing really bad

and is there a way to get the 2 audio channels by them self’s as l would prefer the Nat sound not Voice over

thanks Paul

Do the showreel settings and your VOB match?

Is the footage SD/HD? 4×3 SD DVDs are 720×480. 16×9 is 853×480.
What export codec are you using? ProRes 422 would be a good place to start.

If the audio is mixed there is no simple answer for separating the VO from the other audio elements. EQ in Soundtrack Pro or Ableton Live would be a possible but not simple options.

[Brad Elliott]

Agreed.

But Streamclip does have a 854×480 export option if you drop in a SD 16×9 VOB.

Thanks for that information, sorry for late reply’s to my question time difference, please let me fill you in on the footage.

the problems l am having is the footage which l filmed was from 2 camera’s, either HDV1080i Sony FX1 or Panasonic HDV 1080i full size camera. all NTSC Cameras

the Edits where done in the states but not by me, l have tired to get hold of them, to find out the editing information Don’t think l will be able to, so l am unsure other than a HDV capture from there ???? ( unsure of there time line?)

the Company that sent me the DVD’s was USA Company HDNet if any help

the DVD’s l have already have had TS.VOB files made and are
on my Hard drive but l also have the DVD’s as well for use.

the information of VOB files are

originally filmed on Sony HDV-FX1 1080i
VOB stream information Original Edit time line UNSURE

Video
224 MPEG-2, 720×480, 4;3 29.97fps 8.82Mbs, upper field first

originally filmed on Panasonic HDV1080i Full size camera

VOB stream information Original edit time line UNSURE

Audio
Audio

near all the VOB files are this way in VOB stream infornation give or take a few frames Differences

So from what l have available to use at this stage is only the DVD’s and the VOB files l have already made from the DVD’s , from this l want to make a show reels of the the Footage and also have available web links to this footage on my web site, and if need be, Be able to send as DVD (if quality will be OK)

Questions.

1. l have tired the Proress 422 hq and also normal but still get interlacing in the time line l have tried 8 and 10Bit., Whats the best way out of the VOB file for me for my use and finished edit compression once l have edited.

1a Whats the best FCP7 Time line setting to work in with all of this.

1b Whats the best web format to put the finished Edit into for a web link and use on my web site???

2. whats the best format to be able to send a 3 to 4 minute clip via email ( after edit)

4. how do l get ride the interlacing?

5. Audio tells me 2 channels if there a way out to get either the VO or Nat sound only

6 is it bad to edit with the VOB straight in to FCP 7?

thanks for your time guys hope to back from you and the information can be of assistance with my questions l have about 40 Documentaries l want to edit through.
