  • You will have the same exact interlacing problems if you try to stabilize the footage in FCP.

    Stabilizers work by shifting the image around to compensate for the motion of the camera. If it senses the camera moving up, the clip is shifted down, camera left, clip right, etc. All stabilizers work this way.

    If you shift the clip up or down, you will reverse fields. That’s why the FCP manual warns against stabilizing interlaced material.

    You can consult your local government to find out what regulations apply to shooting in public, and what authority the “marketing director” has to regulate the public at the farmer’s market (I suspect none).

    What you do after that is up to you. If it were me, I wouldn’t do anything now.

    If I had been harassed by this person, I’d not have made a big scene, but I might have asked the “marketing director” for official identification, and ask what authority that gave him to regulate a private citizen at a public event. Or more likely I’d just have politely told him to buzz off before I called a cop.

    Yours is the 3rd posting this weekend to ask why your video quality doesn’t look good. the answers are always the same:

    1- You’re not working in a high quality codec
    2- You’re not monitoring your picture properly
    3- Both of the above

    If it were me, I’d have started with recapturing the files. this is why it’s important to keep the original card dumps from tapeless media.

    I believe you’re going to have driver conflicts.

    It might make more sense to first see if both pieces of software will work with one card.

  • [Thomas Mazzarella] “Frame size 64×480 Ntsc (4:3) “

    This is incorrect.

    [Thomas Mazzarella] “Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square”

    This is incorrect.

    [Thomas Mazzarella] “Field Dominance: Lower”

    This is incorrect.

    If you’re in a DV timeline, simply export using your default sequence settings.

    “Capture device”, as in an HD capture card from AJA, Black Magic, Matrox, etc. Your camera is not a capture device, it’s a camera, you could call it an acquisition device.

    “Calibrated monitor”, as in a broadcast monitor, connected to your capture card, not a computer monitor.

    You need to evaluate your picture on in the proper color space, a capture card & monitor provide that color space, a computer monitor does not.

    Don’t reinvent the wheel. there are video wall programs. Find one that does what you want, and use a file format & drive system that will play them out properly.

    It looks like a watermark. Are you using any unregistered plugins on those shots?

    Photoshop rocks for dustbusting. CS2 and later support video files. you can use all of the painting, cloning and healing brushes, and you can clone from one frame to another. When you’re done, you render out the video to the same codec that you started with.
