Thank you for coming back to me.

Yes, it’s interlaced (25i). I need the Quickmovie file to look decent enough on any Mac or PC, especially as I am trying to pitch this 1mn film to a TV commissioner.

Would you please recommend any Export settings more than others?
(A friend who knows more than I had chosen the settings for me but I am happy to experiment with other Export settings so to improve the quality of this onw which is pretty dire…

Thank you so much,

Aurora

Thank you for coming back to me. I am happy to see that it plays back now but there is still something dodgy: the quality of the copy saved on harddrive is not the same as the ‘master’ Quick Movie file, there is a big drop in image quality. Anything with movement (people moving or zooms) look ‘not quite right’, a bit blurred and slightly jittery.

Was it because of the Export settings in the first place?

Do you recommend any solution please?

Sorry to bother you again ….

Thank you and have a good day!

Thank you for your time and for sharing your great knowledge!

Thank you!
Sorry but what is interlaced ? Is mini-DV interlaced?
It must be because you have to select 25i to get to the DV25420 option…
Thank you for your patience.
Have a lovely day!

Thank you. I will recapture with the resolution DV 25 420.
I really really appreciate your time and advice.
have a great day!

Thanks for coming back to me.

Another thing is the sound in my sequence is out of synch (the sound on the tapes is ok).I thought once the video is uncompressed the sound would get back in synch with the video but now I am worried.

I need to get this edit presentable at 1:1, not at 28:1… Looking at the Creative Cow archive I saw someone had a similar problem but they were in telecine and shot on something else… They pointed out that when you create a new project you should choose 25i. I chose 25. But in choosing 25i, you only get a resolution selection of DV 25411, DV 25 420 AND 15:1. Where is the 1:1? Does DV 25 420 mean 1:1?
Are you saying I should recapture everything at say DV 25 420 and that would be high quality?
Please help!

Thanks for coming back to me.

I’m running Avid Xpress Pro v.4.3.1 and I am stuck with this old version because a film project is still unfinished and upgrading has in the past caused chaos…

I don’t have a Mojo and I am not too sure what that is.

Another thing is the sound in my sequence is out of synch (the sound on the tapes is ok).I thought once the video is uncompressed the sound would get back in synch with the video but now I am worried.

What I am doing is a minute for a 1 mn news item which I am doing for a friend, not a film. I need to get this edit presentable at 1:1, not at 28:1… Looking at the Creative Cow archive I saw someone had a similar problem but they were in telecine and shot on something else… They pointed out that when you create a new project you should choose 25i.
