Yeah, unfortunately the DV is the master for the PAL stuff. You’re probably right about hardware up-res, but resources are limited to capturing off of a PAL DV camcorder via firewire.
Thanks for the feedback. If I continue to have issues I’ll try these options. Though, I found that if I navigate to the photos through the browser and select them Motion has a much easier time digesting the information as opposed to when I navigate to them through the File pulldown and select Import as I was doing. Timelapse works. Now I must learn Motion.
I’ve tried several tests using compressor, and found that going with an Uncompressed 8-Bit conversion looks crisp and clean, but have had no luck getting the geometry to accept the 16:9 look of the source footage. Any suggestions?
I was under the impression that FCP generated its own letterbox when working with Beta SP 16:9, similar to the way some Mini DV cameras generate letterbox when shooting.
