Titles/Credits DV Looking bad

Posted by Paul Stroud on January 29, 2011 at 5:38 pm

Hello people,

Some of the titles at the beginning of this music video I’m working on look great through a dv render as a slight TV/Film 70’s style burnt-in white text look is desired. You know, it’s got a slight glow to it

I have digitized super8 footage on dv pal and have been editing in this format – looking great. The end credits however and some of the other smaller text bits are a little fuzzy

What can I do?

Shall I render in another format and put the credits on THAT?

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Once the edit is locked. Change the sequence codec to DV50 and re-render all. This will yield much better results. Also could use 8-bit UC but probably overkill.

Thanks Chris,

Something’s not right – it doesn’t seem to be having any effect. Text is still a bit ‘Liney’ and unclear. Even using a motion project to generate text is giving me the same results

And as for 8bit UC. Well, excuse my ignorance but I don’t know what that means and I can’t seem to find any setting pertaining to it either

Cheers

Oh – and the movement isn’t very smooth. Any thoughts on that?

Will need sequence settings please.

8bit UC Uncompressed.

Oh – ok uncompressed

These are the setting I used with the edit.

If I set the field dominance to ‘none’ it looks great, but the denoiser I used seems to need this set to ‘lower’ to run – in fact a setting of none causes FCP to crash because of the denoiser. Unless I’m doing something wrong here? Which is very possible 🙂

Is the footage progressive?

Render settings set to FULL & BEST everywhere?

That denoiser may only be so good?

I guess you are talking about the “de-interlacer” instead of “de-noiser”, don’t you?

It’s Super8 footage that’s been transfered to dv tape PAL. So I guess no – it’s interlaced

It’s the Magic Bullet denoiser and has helped a lot with the interior footage.

I suspect that the denoiser is not happy when I tell it that the sequence has no field dominance if the footage is actually interlaced.

I wish it had been transferred progressive. Would it be worth de-interlacing?

What did they dub the 8mm film to? What format?

I spoke to the telecine op and I think he said that it first went to digibeta before being transferred to dv tape PAL

I hope that’s what you wanted to know. It’s all a bit new to me so forgive the ‘Holes’
