Smooth Cam will not analyze

[Bret Sanders]

Thanks John,

Sorry, I am a former long-time creative executive who could move the people, money and equipment around the board to get required footage, who now is forced to try to learn the technical end of business as a bootstrap independent. As I said in the earlier post, I don’t want to seem ignorant…but I can face the fact.

I have bookmarked the link you sent and will soon be studying it. Thanks for the help.

You should definitely look at your camera setting. Having a resolution reduction with interpolation done in real time is possible today with current CPUs but is definitely something strange that would tax your system while it is doing it and could give you frame losses etc.
Most definitely it seem a wrong setting gin the camera, I do have an old JVC with that option , it has a switch HD-DV and if the switch goes on DV by mistake my HDV footage is down converted in SD. The switch can also be a softswitch in the camera menu.This still doesn’t explain the issue with smoothcam since it should work perfectly on SD as well as HDV clips.

If you are applying SmoothCam to a DV clip in a HDV sequence, not sure what will happens.
