video monitor
So I need to watch my video on a Sony PVM video monitor. I want to see exactly what amount of cropping will occur on a TV, and also to get rid of the vibrating video captures (due to freeze framing on a half-frame)
I have the smaller DVI port and the larger ADC port on the back of my G5. My CRT monitor is plugged into the DVI port. I have an adapter for DVI to RCA/S-Video that I can attach my Sony video monitor to, but it doesn’t show what’s in the Final Cut viewer or canvas like it would on a TV, it shows what the computer monitor shows, but oddly cropped (I can see my icons and menu bar)
Should I get an adapter that converts ADC to RCA/S-video? Do I need a DV deck? How else can I know what a TV would see if the video were, say burned onto and watched from a DVD? Thank you!

Your best bet is to pick up a DV Deck and hook it up to the computer Via Firewire and then to the TV via RCA / S-video / Composite
or monitor through your camera, again hook your camera up via firewire to the computer and then use RCA/S-video (or whatever may be on your camera) to hook up to the TV -

Every TV is different. The amount of cropping on every TV will be different. That’s why you use Action Safe and Title Safe for all projects. Your graphics should NEVER be outside Title Safe. Primary Action should NEVER be outside Action Safe.
As for the vibrating video captures, that’s a single field frozen so if there is motion in the scene, it will vibrate worse on a regular TV than on the PVM.
