I second all of Tom’s comments. Dreadful choice of fonts and colors for video.

Have a wonderful day.

There’s a glow filter in Joe’s filters which has an eydropper so you can sample any color which might work. Then use a garbage matte to get rid of other things with that color and put that over a copy of the original footage. It’s a great filter.

Have a wonderful day.

I’ve used these, but don’t own one, never had a lick of trouble.

Banding is most easily fixed with a tiny bit of noise, try Joe’s filters.

David Weiss has a 4 bay Firmtec SATA array for sale, he tried to sell it to me yesterday but I already have one. Click on his picture and do an email, I’m sure it’s a great deal.

Have a wonderful day.

I’ve heard good things about Neat, but last month I bought Video Purifier from Bitvice, it is incredible. A bit hard to fine tune, but I’m sure with the learning curve it will get easier.

Have a wonderful day.

When I worked on dv at the end of a project Id make up a dv tape. I didn’t think about the limitations’ of the hdv format.
At the moment I can’t afford a better quality tape deck so I’m assuming im best to just make up a digital file?

Just make a digital file, ProRes is fine.

As for capturing straight to proress is this possible using a Mac book pro? Id had been advised to capture in hdv and set the render setting for the sequence to proress!

Yes indeed, do it almost every day. I have a tutorial in here about how to capture to ProRes. But we do this daily on our MBP and towers.

Dan,

Just go into your sequence settings and change the compressor to 8 bit or ProRes, depending on your system. You will have to re-render but everything will be beautiful, including keys and color correction.

But in the future, if you have FCP 6.0.2 you can just capture everything to ProRes and be done with it.

Have a wonderful day.
