  • Working with HDV / IMX / Dv and outputting it

    Posted by Sacha Odufré on January 12, 2009 at 1:22 pm

    Hi there,
    I’m working on a project witch uses HDV, DV, IMX 625/50 footage and converted Mpeg’s (PAL).

    Now I have a problem with Upper & Lower fields. (Shift Fields?)
    I also have to go to a SD output.(downconvert HDV?)
    What will be the best way to setup my sequence as most of all footage is in HDV?

    I can’t do a rebatch, because all the footage is in the UK.

    Regards, SAS

    I think that if you will end up SD is better go SD from the beginning.
    Open a ProRess 720 x 576 sequence (Anamorphic or not, up to you).
    Set it Upper-first. The Lower-first footage that you set in the sequence will get the shift-fields filter.
    You shouldn’t have any problem.
    Which is supposed to be the delivery format?
    Cheers,
    Rafael

    Hi Rafael,
    thanks for fast support, that will do it.

    Video Output will probably be DigiBeta, or export to Qtime.
    The Qtime will then be imported in an Avid. This is all because the audio goes to Protools via OMF, and in the end the bounce must be done.
    We’re working on that one. (money wise)

    [Sacha Odufre] “Video Output will probably be DigiBeta,”
    Then you know: 720 x 576 UPPER FIRST. !0b Unc or ProRess.
