  • urgent HDV – DV settings

    Posted by Tielman Dewaele on December 11, 2007 at 10:47 pm

    I got HDV footage that i edit in a dv 10 uncompressed seq.
    I shoot dv beacuse there a lot of graphics involved, that were made in dv. The export is for dvd SD. So thats the reason i used dv settings.
    The footage looks good, but flickers espacialy when used speed changes and slowmows.
    What do i have to change to make it look ok.
    the monitors are down, so i cant realy see whats wrong.
    (i have to burn to dvd to watch on tv.

    What should i do?

    Thx

    There is a wonderful diagram in your FCP manual that shows how to use a DV camera or deck to connect a TV to your Mac. That’s a good place to start.

    [Mister T.] “I got HDV footage that i edit in a dv 10 uncompressed seq.”

    There is no such thing as “dv 10 uncompressed”. DV is compressed, and is 8 bits. 10 bit uncompressed is not DV.

    [Mister T.] “I shoot dv beacuse there a lot of graphics involved, that were made in dv.”

    the DV codec is not very good for graphics. The compression scheme looses a lot of the color information. If your graphics are designed for DV, they may not translate that well to an uncompressed timeline.
