RE-DIGITIZE DV TO 8-BIT UNCOMPRESSED
I originally digitized in DV and have a ton of Live Type, pics and graphic movies in the time line. For this reason if I make an offline to re-digitize in a higher quality format none of my pics, stills, graphic movies and Live Type clips are connected. So I would have to start from scratch and re-do them or hunt them down one by one to reconnect the media (this is were I may be wrong as there may be another way to do this?).
Anyhow, I needed to re-digitize to 8 bit uncompressed betacam component. To do so I copied the sequence (DV quality) into a new program and sequence (8 bit uncompressed quality). I then pulled all media over to a bin and re-digitized that at 8 bit uncompressed. The footage looks okay until I render and then it plays back at a much lower resolution that actually looks fuzzy. My settings in the sequence is to play back at 8 bit uncompressed. My re-dig was beta component.
Does anyone have any idea as to what I

dv is dv, it’s not 8 bit, so how do you think you can add info to something that doesnt have it to start with? do you get what I am saying. you can copy your dv tape to a beta and dig the beta but it’s still dv.

Sorry, I didn’t make myself clear. This is all originally shot in Beta SP. I only did a low resolution in DV to save disk space. After the show was cut then I went back to re-dig in Beta (component).

What you could have done is drag all your Livetype and stills etc to an upper video track and leave your DV on V1. Duplicate that sequence and delete everything on tracks that are not the DV footage. Then delete the audio tracks as well.
If you do a search on this FCP forum for the word “consolidate” you will find a great step by step instruction for rediging your sequence. It worked for me. But before I rediged, I prepped a sequence that only contained the DV material I wanted to bring to uncompressed. Worked great.
Then, once it is uploaded and linked to the sequence, just copy the new uncompressed V1 layers video and paste it into the V1 of the new 8-bit uncompressed sequence with the audio and Livetype stuff on the other tracks. Whala, the whole sequence will be 8-bit uncompressed.
Now go find that tutorial!

I saw some info on the “consolidate” search but no real full sequence of steps. Is there another word?

Hi,
I wanted to directly respond to those that put forth suggestions to help as I appreciate your assistance. Below are the procedures I used to rectify the situation albeit rather lengthy and truthfully only a work-around.
By the way, while upper and lower field dominance can be a problem. It doesn
