aspect ratio preview button [on] will make video look bad, turn it [off]. It’s the white square button with arrows. It makes jaggies too 😀

red giant software hd upscale plugin hd instant fx will do sd to hd. it uses advanced antialiasing and smart scaling to make sd go to any hd preset. I’ve tried it and it looks pretty good.

buy a $100,000 spotlight and weldcut a batman logo and screw it to frame, then record with camera. or..make a mask in batman shape and have light effect glow through another layer behind it.

hmm, maybe effect->time->echo with luma channels to block things u don’t want echoing.

deinterlace with fieldskit or AE export fields off and slow to 24p with timewarp or twixtor. change gamma curves, or buy 24p camera and pulldown to 23.976.

DVCPRO HD only records at 1280×1080 or prefilters @ 960×720 the DSP to a recorded size of 960×720, A camcorder using a special variable-framerate (from 4 to 60 frame/s) variant of DVCPRO HD called -VariCam- is also available.
Sound familiar?

You need to find out if it is interlaced or not, then go from there.
Try AE guess pulldown and then try leave fields off and view footage. If you see scanlines in fast motion, you have fields in video.My guess is, since many animations do double framerate to rotor on, so you have a field a frame. 1 x field a frame. 29.97 * 2 = 59.94 Then I don’t see any reason to worry about pulldown. There’s nothing to pulldown.

*Thanx for great help, guys.
*Is there any reason to film in 50i and convert to 25p in *post if I can film in 25p. Or rather – is there a difference?Most camcorders don’t save in progressive format. Most use interlaced dv footage, interlaced mpeg2 footage. Some semi-progressive camcorders support reverse 3:2 pulldown which takes the interlaced 29.97 fps and turns it into 23.976p which is 24 fps 1% slower, just like why recording hollywood movies the sound is at 30 fps to 29.97 so when post house puts edl ref editing picture on dv tape, it gets slowed down too. Then everything matches.
—–50i is like our 60i
50i to 25p deinterlaced
and 60i to 30p but you don’t have to worry about 30p to 24p temporal.
All you have to do is take 25p and slow it down 4% to 24p; audio too.If there is a 25p digital camera, then try to find one that is true progressive, not interlaced and doesn’t use mpeg2 4:2:0. Recovering p from i can sometimes create problems. Temporally, excluding any blur or artifacts, true p always seems to look better. A prime example is panasonic’s dvx100. It may, in post-editing, finally get to 24p, but the distance a person travels compared to the recording frame is never constant. That is why when there is small motion, it still looks like a soap opera and fast motion it gets weird. There’s no true constant interval. Only film has a constant interval of time and space. That is why blur looks so good in film. Hopefully an exception is coming out soon, the red dot camera that shoots RAW 24 fps; a bunch of still camera pics mushed together.

put most of your money into the RAM and processor. You don’t need nvidia 8800GTS. AE is RAM hungry and processor intensive, not as 3-D intensive.
